Publish Revit Models Directly to the Web Viewer

After updating a model, use the Publish feature to send a model to the Web Viewer directly from Revit without having to export the IFC, send it to the appropriate person, and then upload it into the viewer. Folders in the Project Tree receive the multiple revisions that will be published. The model can be published manually or be scheduled to be sent at predetermined times.
