Organizing your Data
Projects
Organising your data in Speckle
What are projects?
In Speckle, a project is where your data lives. Think of a project as a container that helps you organise, manage, and share your work. You can give each project a name and description to help you keep things clear and easy to find. Projects also let you collaborate with others. You can share a project with your team and control who can view or edit it.
What can a project contain?
A project can hold anything—from a few objects to an entire building model. You can create as many projects as you like and add as much (or as little) data as you need. Some examples of what a project might include:- A layer from a CAD application
- A furniture (Revit family)
- A workset or selection from Revit
- A group of objects from Grasshopper
- A structural model
- Calculation results
Who can I share projects with?
While a workspace can have members and guests that can impact who can have access to the projects within it, projects themselves can be shared with specific users to control access and within the security settings of the workspace.
Access Control
A project can have a global state of:- Public: Anyone with the link can view,
- Workspace: All workspace members can view, but not guests, or
- Private: Only for project members and admins.
Discussions
The ability to contribute to discussions is controlled at the project level:- Anyone: Anyone can contribute to discussions with comments and replies if they have access to the project and have a Speckle account.
- Collaborators: Only project collaborators can contribute to discussions.
