Configuring the Revit document type

The Revit link provides a Create Presentation command in an add-in installed with Revit. The command generates a presentation document (.dwf file) of the open building model and stores it in the vault with the model. This makes the presentation easy to find and associates it with the same property values as the building model from which it was made. It also makes the building model easier to view since .dwf files are supported by the viewer, but Revit building model files are not supported.

The link attempts to attach the presentation file to the building model as a Meridian hybrid part. Therefore, the document type that is assigned to Revit documents must be a hybrid document type for the command to succeed.

To configure the Revit document type:

1. Create a new document type for Revit or edit an existing document type and assign to it the Revit file extension.
2. The only requirement for the Revit link is that you enable the Hybrid document option as described in Configuring document type general options. The other options may be set to meet your requirements.
