1. System Monitoring
- Monitor CPU, GPU, and RAM usage during intensive model operations.
- Use performance monitoring tools to identify slow views, large families, or heavy linked models that may affect performance.
- Ensure sufficient disk space for both central and local models to avoid disruptions.
2. License Monitoring
- Track license consumption through the Autodesk Account portal.
- For network configurations, monitor license usage via the Autodesk Network License Manager (NLM).
- Ensure that your subscription allocations are in compliance with usage.
3. Application Monitoring
- Review Journal Files (Revit log files) to diagnose performance issues or crashes.
- Enable and monitor Customer Error Reporting (CER) for detailed crash analytics.
- Track Warnings in models to minimize instability and improve project performance.
4. User Activity Monitoring
- Monitor collaboration activities in central models, such as user syncs and last saved actions.
- Track cloud-based activities within BIM 360 and Autodesk Docs.
- Identify inefficiencies in workflows by analyzing the most frequently used tools and features.
5. Best Practices
- Conduct regular audits of central models to ensure file health and prevent issues.
- Document recurring errors and their corrective actions to build a knowledge base for future troubleshooting.
- Generate regular reports on system performance, license usage, and user activities.
- Train users to effectively manage warnings, linked models, and worksets to optimize project collaboration and performance.
