Viewing family file changes

Complex Revit model can use many family files and multiple instances of those family files. Meridian provides a Family Inspector command to help you track the instances, their current status, and location.

Note    The FamilyInspector value of the following registry value on the PC must be set to 1 to make the command available:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\RevitLink

To view the family file changes:

1. In Revit, open the building model for which you want to see its family files.

2. In the BlueCielo group of the Add-Ins menu in Revit, select Family Inspector. The Document Families dialog box appears and lists information about the families used in the current model. Families that have changed since you last viewed the list appear in red text.

   Note    Changed families are only highlighted in red text once. If you close and reopen the Family Inspector, the previously red families will then appear black even if they have not actually been changed.
