Vertex BD and Vertex Sync Integration

Vertex Sync

The Vertex BD program can be connected to the Vertex Sync cloud service for building management. You can save a building created with Vertex BD to Vertex Sync. Depending on their permissions, users belonging to the same organization can view, edit and revise buildings and documents stored in the cloud service.

Vertex Sync is a separate product that you can purchase a license to in the MyVertex portal at https://my.vertex.fi/.

The Vertex Sync product also includes the Publisher, which is otherwise an add-on option for the Vertex BD program.

Concepts

Familiarize yourself with the concepts related to the Vertex Sync service:

  • Project - In Vertex Sync, a building can be part of a larger entity, which is called a project. A project may include several buildings and related documents. It is possible to set up a project in Vertex Sync.
  • Revision - When you save a building with Vertex BD, a new save is created. At a specific design stage, you decide to move the building to the Vertex Sync service. In this case, a new revision of the building is created. In the future, you can choose whether to create a new revision or overwrite the old one when you move the building to Vertex Sync. The old revisions will remain in Vertex Sync. The revisions are numbered according to the numbering system selected in the Sync service.
  • Label - Labels enable file classification and filtering. When you move a building to Vertex Sync, certain labels such as architectural design, structural design, drawing, model, panel drawing, part drawing, etc. are automatically assigned to the building's files. It is possible to create the organization's own labels in the Vertex Sync service.
