how to close all windows in a current revit project

When I was asked to write a product review for an Autodesk® Revit® add-in that converts Revit files into 3D PDFs, I was very excited because I really enjoy testing software and pushing it to its limits.

Beyond here lies madness.Back July 4th, 2013 Converting Revit to 3D PDF - A Product Review You can also smash your own hand flat with a hammer in life there are many things you can do but you shouldn't. Cross-linking Revit files is a path to misery and ruin.

If your linked file diagram looks like a net, or like a tangled ball of yarn: Do steps above, then use Reload From on your links. Let them sleep.įinally your last file should be your 'master' Central file. DO NOT awaken the the elder gods of Central File Corruption. DON'T try this from the Central file itself. Reopen file, relinquish all worksets, because you will now own all worksets. Start moving the models in the 'branches' first - the ones that don't link anything else in. Simply detatching and saving-as can create a nightmare of link problems and missing links and bad file paths that can all be avoided with the 'Transmit a Model' tool, even if you are only transmitting to yourself.ĭraw a diagram of how the links go together. It is also the best way to send your models to other companies for use in coordination, etc. It is by far and away the easiest way to pick up package of job files, and move it somewhere else. Move the transmission file to where you want it's new home to be and when you extract it and open your model for the first time it will prompt you saying that this is the first time the model has been opened after transmittal and would you like to establish the file relationships in the current location. Transmitting a model will pack all the centrals AND their links into a compressed zip file that can be moved without having to worry about repathing links or central paths. It should come standard with your version of Revit. Use the 'Transmit a Model' tool in the add-ins tab. I'm going to advise not doing what some of these other comments suggest.
