Standard profiles should be stored in a public collaborative space everyone can access. If you try to add a project that requires a standard profile that does not exist on the server, the standard profile is automatically imported to the server. We highly recommend moving such standard profiles to a collaborative space dedicated to standard profiles.

Creating public collaborative spaces

We recommend that administrators responsible for managing MBSE on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform create a public collaborative space for standard profiles. All users should have viewing permission for this space, but the editing permission should be reserved for the administrator.


To create a public collaborative space

  1. On the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, click and find Collaborative Spaces Control Center under My Apps.
  2. Click Create Collaborative Space.
  3. In the open dialog, enter the owner’s name (if it is not the current user).
  4. In the Title box, the space title.
  5. In the Description box, enter an optional space description.
  6. In the Family drop-down box, select Design - Collaborative storage to manage any kind of content.
  7. In the Visibility drop-down box, select Public - Content visible to all users.
  8. Click the Create button.

Adding standard profiles to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Once the collaborative space is created, users can add standard profiles to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

  • Before starting work with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it is recommended to add all standard profiles provided in the modeling tool installation.
  • Members of the same team should use a modeling tool with the same plugins.


To add standard profiles to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

  1. Log in to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform where the collaborative space for standard profiles was created.
  2. In the main menu, select 3DEXPERIENCE > Switch Platform/Credentials.
  3. In the Credentials drop-down box of the open dialog, select the collaborative space.



  4. Click OK.
  5. In the main menu, select Collaborate > Migrate Projects to Version <version number>.

  6. In the Show drop-down menu of the open dialog, select Standard Profiles. It will display all standard profiles on the server and your modeling tool installation.

  7. Select the standard profiles you want to add or click on the left side of the dialog to select all standard profiles.

    To ensure the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is properly configured, we recommend selecting all available standard profiles.




  8. Click OK.


Following these steps will add the new standard profiles from your modeling tool installation to the platform and update any existing profiles to the version of your modeling tool. Once standard profiles are added to a public collaborative space, all newly created and added projects will use standard profiles from that space. If a profile is not added automatically, you can add it as a standalone project.
