Local models

Use the local model path when the project data does not live in Autodesk Construction Cloud or when your team needs to work from files stored locally.

Supported file types include:

  • RVT
  • NWD
  • IFC
  • ZIP packages for linked model sets
  1. Open the Frame dashboard.
  2. Add a model from your device.
  3. Choose the local file or package.
  4. Wait for processing to finish.
  5. Open the model in the viewer or use it in reporting workflows once the status reaches Ready.

After translation, the model becomes available to the same downstream workflows used by ACC-connected models:

  • viewer review
  • Power BI reporting
  • Excel Add-In exports
  • Frame AI workflows
