Now Available: Content Catalog for Revit

[@mitchellschiltz34]

We've had UNIFI for a handful of years and still don't fully grasp the need for collections but curious what your opinion is. If tags can be used to sort families, which we do with saved searches and filters, what is the need for collections? Likewise, I don't understand channels either. I am happy to be informed/corrected on this! Thanks.

[@jmqrsq]

The only thing I can think of for this would be to have a separate collections based on project types. ie - Health Care project vs Hospitality project vs etc

[@Design_Revit_BIM]

Wow! Amazing things coming up now.

[@ZAKarchitects]

That's a new Milestone in BIM

[@gasiedu]

Took their time😅, hopefully it's functionally sound, I imagine since it's by unifi . Hopefully they continue to bring more features to it

[@JavierOropeza08]

wow finally, was part of the beta about 6 months ago, glad its gotten released! I just went to the library, I see the button that says Start using content catalog, but nothing happens when I press it :(

@@kpierce212 thank you! It started working today 😊😊

[@anamendezgaxiola2735]

hey, are you able to upload and manage Dynamo scripts on this platform?

[@KateKini]

for anyone having trouble with getting the content catalog tab to show up, make sure you are installing it on the admin account on your computer - then it shows up in Revit on all user accounts!

[@germscott4779]

Can you create and catalog Groups so it's easier to pull in complex, but repeatable unit types?

[@TunnelEdje]

When will this be available in Europe?

[@BIM_G]

It's available.

[@jmqrsq]

Nic, one question that I am wondering. I am going to say something and you tell me if my assumption is true or not. Lets say I upload a family from Revit 2023. Content Catalogue will auto create versions for 2024 and 2025 (at the time of this comment). So lets say that I need to make a edit to the family for some reason. The process would be to open it in 2023 gain, make my changes, and then reupload it to Content Catalogue, correct? If so, does it overwrite the previous version and then recreate the later versions then? Or is there some other method to update a family when using CC?

[@skyeparker5822]

I have been waiting for this! Currently stuck on step 1 though. When I click 'Start using Content Catalog' in ACC nothing happens. Got an email into Autodesk support.

anyone having an issue creating a user group? it keeps giving me "error creating group" when I click save

[@KimHmrs]

I seem to be the only one not seeing the added value of this cloud-based tool. Most of this is manageble on a local central server. Which most offices have anyway and don't require expensive cloud licenses.

[@bimpure]

Having the content on the cloud is one benefit, but it's also about having the content properly sorted and organized. And certain type of content (system families, drafting views) cannot be easily loaded with the default tools.

[@KimHmrs]

@@bimpure In our office only the BIM managers can add contect to our office library. Everything is well managed and documented. We use project file to compile system types and drafting views.

[@bimpure]

@@KimHmrs Yep, but is there a quick way to add multiple content type to a project? With a tool such as content catalog, you could have a "commercial" tag, which includes all content you need for a commercial project, including loadable families, system families, schedules, typical details, and more. And you can load them all with a single click. The standard way would involve either putting all this content in a "container" library file and manually copy/pasting, or including everything in the template.

[@KimHmrs]

@@bimpure No, but the standard way is at least free.

[@bimpure]

@@KimHmrs Well, this one is included with the AEC collection :)

The tab is not appearing in Revit currently

Have you installed the Revit add-in? Content Catalog will appear on the Insert tab in R2025.
