The Bentley ProjectWise integration allows you to connect your Common Data Environment to Sensat to automatically access files so they can be visualised together seamlessly with all your other project data. This allows you to maintain a single source of truth in ProjectWise and have confidence that content visualised in Sensat is always up-to-date, covers all disciplines, and retains its metadata.
Key features
Visualise geolocated data stored in your CDE seamlessly together.
Automated hourly sync to Sensat based on your approval workflow.
Eliminate the risk of data being outdated or missing entirely from Sensat.
How it works
An administrator must first enable the integration and configure which folders to sync from ProjectWise to Sensat.
Changes made to files in ProjectWise will sync to Sensat every hour. This includes new files, revisions, changes to file attributes, and deletions.
The following file types will be automatically synchronised: .dgn, .dwg, .glb, .ifc .dxf, .rvt, .fbx, .nwd. If other files are present in the search results they will not be visible in Sensat.
Once files have been synchronised to Sensat they can be found in Content and visualised in workspaces in the same way as other project layers.
Set up and configuration
Contact your Customer Service representative and provide them with your ProjectWise Web Service Gateway URL and credentials to a non-federated account (also known as a “Logical” account)
You will also need to specify the ProjectWise folders that need to be synced in any of the following formats:
The Datasource name and the full path to the folders containing the files to be synced
OR in ProjectWise Explorer, with the folder selected, the value of the "Address" bar
OR a link to the exact folder in the form https://connect-projectwisewac.bentley.com/pwlink?...
Specify the desired folder structure set-up within Sensat
Once we've set up the integration you will be able to see your folder structure in Content.
To add a synced file to your workspace follow the usual add content flow. Learn how here.
🗒️ Note: the folders must be the ones directly containing the files, subfolders need to be synced separately.
