The upload is the first sending of the object on the Onfly platform. At this stage, specific BIM&CO identifiers will be added to the object in order to link it to the object on the platform.
These identifiers are used to find and modify the object stored in Onfly. Modifications can be geometric or at data level.
Whatever function you use, upload ("Send object(s)") or upstream ("Update library"), you will go through the following steps when using them.
This screen allows you to select one or more objects from the model in order to send them to Onfly. A drop-down menu also allows you to display only the objects of the current view or all the objects present in the Project Browser.
<aside> ⚠️ ⚠️ If you have pre-selected one or more objects in the Revit project or via the family editor or if you go through the folder upload, you will not see this screen, the selection will be automatic.

The objects in the model are sorted by Revit category. The small arrow allows you to open the category to display all the families included.
The “Content filter” allow you to access faster to the content you need to upload.
Content of my model: Includes ALL objects that are modelled in your project (an instance is needed to appear in the list).Content of the current view: Includes ALL objects that appear in the view you have selected before clicking on the "Send object(s)" button.Content of the Project Browser: Includes ALL objects loaded into your project file (instance is NOT needed).The “Search bar” allow you to find the right object.
The option “Upload as a new multi-model object” is described below. You can access it from this link.
Once the object(s) have been selected, click on the "Next" button to start the process.
