Accessible directly from CS ArtisanRV (Revit), CS ArtisanAC (AutoCAD), and CS ArtisanBC (BricsCAD), or through a standard web browser, the CS Web App provides authenticated access to cloud-based services using a username and password associated with an organisation's account. User access and permissions are managed centrally, with designated Administrators and Main Contacts able to oversee account settings, users, subscriptions, and organisational resources.
At the heart of the CS Web App is a collection of shared libraries and project management tools that enable teams to standardise content, improve data consistency, and streamline collaboration across projects. Users can search extensive online libraries, create project-specific palettes, manage custom content, and access specification resources, ensuring that project information remains coordinated throughout the design lifecycle.
The CS Web App supports BIM-driven workflows by providing centrally managed resources that can be shared across teams, offices, and projects. Rather than maintaining multiple disconnected datasets, organisations can manage approved content in a single location, improving consistency, efficiency, and quality assurance.
Cloud-based services available through the CS Web App include:
Account & Profile

permissions, and subscriptions.

Looking ahead, the CS Web App will continue to expand as the central hub for CloudScapes cloud services. A key development planned for 2026 is the reintroduction of the Project Viewer, providing a coordinated graphical and information-rich view of project data synchronised from CS ArtisanRV. This service will enable project teams and stakeholders to access the latest design information through a web-based environment, further supporting collaboration, coordination, and informed decision-making.
Within this section of the Help system, you will learn how to:
By centralising organisation, project, and library data within a secure cloud platform, the CS Web App provides the foundation for a connected, collaborative, and information-driven landscape design workflow.
The CS Web App provides Cloud-based services that are integrated directly via CS ArtisanAC (AutoCAD), CS ArtisanRV (Revit) and CS ArtisanBC (BricsCAD) applications or accesible as discrete services via a web browser.
Access to the CS Web App is
controlled via an authenticated username and password associated to an existing
organisation’s account. User details are recorded in a Contacts table accessible
to an organisation’s designated Main Contact &/or Administrator.
Customers are able to gain access using the URL: https://palette.csdhub.com/logon.aspx or by selecting the
Customer Login via the CSDhub website where users will be
confronted by an initial
Sign In that requires a valid Email address and Password…
New users or existing users who do not have a password, should pick the JOIN link from the Sign In window. Enter your unique CSD credentials Organisation name and Licence number.
Add
your email address and name and pick JOIN.
If the Email address matches one that already exists under the Organisation’s Contacts, registration of the user is automatic. A link is provided by email or users are able to complete sign in from the same browser session. Create a personalised CS Web App password as prompted and pick Set Password.
If the Email address does NOT match one that already exists under the Organisation’s Contacts, authentication is required prior to registration. An email is sent automatically to the organisation’s Main Contact and Administrator email addresses and requires authentication to let the new user create a personalised password to access CS Web App.
Clearly there is benefit in avoiding authentication when new users
attempt to access the CS Web
App so Administrators are advised to create approved user details in advance by accessing My Account – Contacts from the CS Web App when logged in as an Administrator.
From
here, Administrators are able to Add, Edit and Remove users and to define
Contact roles.
Accessing the Customer Login displays all CS Cloud services from the same interface...
