Central Integration

Central’s integration with Leapfrog Works lets you work in different project revisions, publish models to the server, view documents and comments and reply to comments. Projects shared within Central can be downloaded and worked on locally in Leapfrog Works. When you have finished working on a project, select the objects you wish to publish to Central and add notes about the revision. New projects can be added to Central by building them from scratch or by uploading an existing project.

Leapfrog Works version 2021.2 is compatible with Central Server versions 4.x.

When you receive an email saying you have been granted access to your organisation’s Central server, click the link to open the Central Portal. Follow the prompts to either create a new Seequent ID or sign in using your existing Seequent ID.
