The Catenda HUB add-on allows you to open models directly from Catenda HUB and to upload new revisions to models in Catenda HUB. This add-on supports the following scenarios:
Get model from Catenda HUB and upload a new revision to Catenda HUB
Import a model from a local file and upload a new revision to Catenda HUB
Get model from Catenda HUB and save it as a local file
When you use scenario 1, the recommended workflow is to create a new model in Catenda HUB for the processed version of the model. This way the original model has its own revisions and the improved model has the corresponding revisions of its own.

Instructions
Getting models from Catenda HUB
When you install the Catenda HUB add-on a new ‘Catenda HUB’ item will appear in the Open -menu of the Simplebim start-up screen. Clicking on this item will open the Catenda HUB login dialog and subsequently a dialog for selecting the project, model and revision. Once you select the revision and import the model, Simplebim will work just like if you had imported a local file.
Pushing models to Catenda HUB
When you install the Catenda HUB add-on a new ‘Catenda HUB’ item will appear in ribbon menu next to the IFC Export -button. If you have multiple connectors installed, then you can find the Catenda HUB functionality under the generic Upload -button. Either way, clicking on the Catenda HUB -item will open the Catenda HUB login dialog and subsequently a dialog for selecting the project and model. If needed, you can add a new model to the selected project in Catenda HUB. Finally you give the name for a new revision and upload the model as the new revision into Catenda HUB.
