Configuring automatic sheet set import
The Meridian Revit link supports the automatic import of sheet set files that are exported from Revit. Each file in the sheet set can be associated with the model from which it came by a Meridian reference. You configure automatic sheet set import by specifying the export types of the files that you want to be related.
Note This feature has the following limitations:
- If exporting the sheet set results in multiple files, the last file in the set is not imported automatically and must be imported manually. This is due to a defect in the Revit API and might be resolved in a future release.
- If exporting the sheet set will result in multiple files, Meridian will create a temporary empty document with the name that is specified in the Revit Save dialog box as the prefix of the exported files. If the document type that is assigned to this file is configured to show wizard pages, they will appear but can be ignored. The temporary document will be automatically revoked after the export has completed.
- Before re-exporting the same sheet set, a user must place all existing documents in the sheet set under change in a workflow. This is so that the files can be updated and new revisions created and not imported as duplicate documents.
To configure automatic sheet set import:
- In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Application Link Settings. The settings for each application link appear in property pages in the right pane.
- Click the Revit Building tab. The Revit link’s settings page appears in the right pane.
- Click the Edit button to modify the settings.
Tip To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you would rather edit the file in your favorite text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.
- In the section of the file that begins with [ImportExport], find the ReferencesFor setting.
- On the right side of the setting statement, type the export types (not file extensions) of the files that you want to be related by Meridian references separated by commas (,).
- Click OK to save your changes.
