By synchronising a gModeller model with gWorkspace, a copy of the SketchUp file, and associated gbXML file, is backed up to gWorkspace &#8211; from where it can be accessed and shared anywhere. Synchronisation with gWorkspace happens every time SketchUp autosaves the model, taking away all the hassle of uploading your file. Synchronisation is a <em><strong>&#8216;set and forget&#8217;<\/strong><\/em> operation that ensures your model is always <em><strong>backed up to the cloud!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Turn on <em><strong><a title=\"Versioning in gWorkspace\" href=\"https:\/\/greenspacelive.com\/blog\/?p=83\" target=\"_blank\">Versioning<\/a> in gWorkspace, and you have a historical record of each change<\/strong><\/em> that was carried out throughout the development of your model. This also means that if you make a mistake, or need to go back on some changes, then you simply choose the appropriate version, bring it back, and carry on working!<\/p>\n<p>Enabling synchronisation in gModeller is a simple process as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1.
