About the Revit link

The Meridian Enterprise application link for Autodesk Revit supports all of the Revit editions: Architecture, MEP, and Structure. The link provides:

• Meridian Enterprise property editing
• Title block data exchange
• File property data exchange, including custom properties
• Automatic presentation file generation and import
• Worksharing
• External reference management

Note    Resolving modified references requires read/write access. The model cannot be under change by any user. Reference resolution is not supported for models that are transmitted and workshared. NEW Resolved absolute reference paths are converted to relative references to support model review.

Property data exchange between Revit and Meridian Enterprise occurs by a link between Meridian Enterprise properties and Revit properties. If your drawing title blocks use properties for the title block text, that text can be synchronized with properties in a Meridian Enterprise vault. Normal Revit text cannot be linked with Meridian.

Meridian Enterprise supports a limited set of Revit properties:

• ProjectIssueDate
• ProjectStatus
• ClientName
• ProjectAddress
• ProjectName
• ProjectNumber

Property data exchange and worksharing is configured by a system administrator as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.

Together with the basic integration provided by Application Integration, any file created or used by Revit can be managed in a Meridian Enterprise vault. Conversely, Revit commands that request a file can access Meridian Enterprise vaults for document selection.

Note    The functionality provided in Revit by Application Integration is subject to the general limitations of Application Integration described in About Application Integration. For example, if the current drawing in Revit was opened from a work area, using Application Integration to select a reference file or image to place in the drawing is limited to the context (Main area or work area) from which the drawing was opened.

The commands for using the Revit link features can be found in the BlueCielo group of the Add-Ins menu in Revit. Some commands are also available within the PowerUser application. The following topics describe each feature.
