The Projects page is used to synchronize Autodesk Hub projects with Stratus. Once team members have been added to an Active project, those team members will be able to see the project and will be able to publish models to the project. 

New Project enables company project admins create Autodesk projects using their Autodesk Secure Service Account (SSA).

1. Click the New Project button.

   Open

   

   1. Hub - Select the Hub if there are more than one.

   2. Project - Select the Project. A Project displays if it has not yet been added to the Hub and Stratus company.

   3. Folder Path - Select the Folder Path which aligns with the A360 Folder Path table column.

   4. Project Number (Optional) - Enter a project number. This is often used in Naming Conventions.

   5. Name Override (Optional) - Enter a name override.

   6. Description (Optional) - Enter a description.

2. Click Create when done.

   1. Note: During the sync process whether the the following Autodesk Hub project information is updated in Stratus:

      Open

      

       

   2. Below is an example of Autodesk Hub information in Stratus:

      Open

      

       

3. (Optional) Validate the project using the Check SSA Access button in the SSA Status column. See the SSA Status section below.

After a project's first sync with Stratus, its Status defaults to Active.

1. While the project is Active, it does not yet have any Team members. See the Team (Admin) article for adding team members to the project.

2. Once team members are added to an Active project, those team members can see the project and can publish models to the project. Note: A team member may need to click their badge and then the Refresh Permissions button for the project to be visible.

For publishing, attachments, package and assembly creation, etc., the Default Company A360 Root Folder Path is set to Project Files\STRATUS. Override it globally for all new projects, or per project in the A360 Folder Path column.

• For Revit see the Configure Autodesk Hub Publish Folder Path article for more details.

• For AutoCAD see the Configure Autodesk Hub Publish Folder Path article for more details.

To set the Default Company A360 Root Folder Path:

1. Click the current path name, Project Files\STRATUS in this example. 

   Open

   

    

2. Enter a new folder path.

   1. Project Files must be included in the path. For example, if the default path will be a subfolder of Project Files, enter the following:
      Project Files\subfolder name

   2. Note: Stratus cannot determine if the specified folder path is valid in your Autodesk Hub structure.

      Open

      

       

3. Note: Individual project paths can be overridden in the A360 Folder Path section below.

Open

1. Status - Sets the visible status of the project for users. See the Activate a Project and Add Team Members section for more information.

3. Name - The project name.

4. Name Override - The Name Override option enables a company to override the project name imported from ACC. This is especially useful to companies who have an Autodesk Hub project naming standard and would like to use a different project name in Stratus.

   To initiate a Project Name Override:

   1. Go to Admin > Company > Projects, click the Name Override link associated with the project, and enter a name.

      Open

   1. Warning: Editing the A360 Folder Path for an existing project only affects newly published models. Models already published will continue publishing to their original Autodesk Hub folder path. Each model retains a single, fixed A360 Publish Folder Path. See the following articles:

      1. AutoCAD Configure Autodesk Hub Publish Folder Path

      2. Revit Configure Autodesk Hub Publish Folder Path

7. Address - The project Address can be initially populated from ACC. See the New Project section for more information.

See the New Project section for more information.

16. Construction Type - The project’s Construction Type is populated from ACC. This field is editable in Stratus. Note: If the project’s Refresh button is clicked, non-Empty data from an Autodesk Autodesk Hub will overwrite any edits made in Stratus. See the New Project section for more information.

17. Project Type - The project’s Project Type is populated from ACC. This field is editable in Stratus. Note: If the project’s Refresh button is clicked, non-Empty data from an Autodesk Autodesk Hub will overwrite any edits made in Stratus. See the New Project section for more information.

          3. SSA account needs to be added to the Autodesk Hub - See the Stratus: Service Account Setup section for more information.

          4. SSA email needs to be added to the project in the Autodesk Hub - See the Autodesk: Add SSA Member section for more information.

    3. Repeat these steps for additional projects.

20. Actions - The Actions column includes the Refresh Project button where non-Empty data from an Autodesk Hub will overwrite any edits made in Stratus.

Scenario: Projects are managed in Stratus, but models and documents are published to respective .

Scenario: One Stratus company that has multiple Autodesk Hubs. In this scenario during publish, select the correct Hub and Project.

Scenario: One Autodesk Hub with multiple Stratus companies. In this scenario during publish, select the correct Project.

Scenario: When a non-Stratus company is the primary Autodesk Hub, and that company is not willing to add the Stratus Service Account (SSA) to their company and project as a secondary Autodesk Hub, add the project to the Stratus company’s primary Autodesk Hub where models will be published. The central models will be stored on the secondary Autodesk Hubs.

1. Create the project in your Autodesk Hub, even if you only use that project for Stratus. There is a one-to-one relationship between an Autodesk Hub and Stratus companies. This prevents your Stratus company from seeing another company’s files.

2. Under Admin > Company > Projects, click the Add Projects button in Stratus. Stratus will synchronize selected projects in Stratus.

3. To publish a model to the project:

   1. Open the central model hosted on the other company’s site using your normal business procedures. 

   2. Click the Publish button. The publish dialogue will display where you will see the list of projects in your Autodesk Hub.

   3. Select the project and proceed with the normal publish process.
