Setup
Before users can sync files, your IT administrator must enable the ProjectWise cloud integration by adding the Speckle service account to relevant ProjectWise projects. See Enable Bentley ProjectWise integration.Sign in to Bentley ProjectWise
- Select workspace settings from the workspace dropdown (top left).
- Select Log in next to Bentley ProjectWise.
- Sign in to your Bentley account and select Allow from the authorization dialog.
Sync your first model
- From your project in Speckle, select Add model > Sync from ProjectWise.
- Select the file you want to sync. Your projects, folders and files from ProjectWise will be listed here.
- Select Create.
Supported file formats
The following file formats are currently supported for syncing from Bentley ProjectWise:| Format | Extension | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Revit | .rvt | ✅ Supported |
| IFC | .ifc | ✅ Supported |
| Navisworks | .nwd .nwc | ⚠️ Beta |
| DGN | .dgn | 🗓️ Planned |
| DWG | .dwg | 🗓️ Planned |
Betas can behave differently across files — tell us
if Navisworks sync misbehaves. For DGN / DWG, demand signals help us
prioritise the order we ship them.
Current limitations
For deployment and API limitations, see Bentley ProjectWise current limitations in the IT setup guide. From a user workflow perspective:- Automatic file change detection can be delayed in some environments.
- Current integration scope is focused on model and file synchronization workflows.
Is the connection read-only?
Is the connection read-only?
Yes. Speckle establishes a read-only connection with Bentley ProjectWise, which means we can sync and analyze your data but can’t modify the original files. This ensures data integrity and security.
How often do files sync?
How often do files sync?
Once you’ve created a sync model, Speckle automatically detects when a file is updated in ProjectWise and syncs the latest version. There may be a short delay between a file being updated and the new version appearing in Speckle.
What if my sync fails?
What if my sync fails?
Common causes include file access issues, authorization problems, or unsupported file formats. Check that:
- The service account from Enable Bentley ProjectWise integration has been added as a member of the relevant ProjectWise project
- The file is in a supported format (.rvt, .ifc, .nwd, or .nwc)
Can I use Bentley ProjectWise models with Speckle Intelligence?
Can I use Bentley ProjectWise models with Speckle Intelligence?
Yes. Once synced, your Bentley ProjectWise models can be used with Speckle Intelligence for analytics, dashboard creation, and generating insights from your construction data.
