Go to, sign in, and navigate to the project that you want to upgrade. When the project is being hosted on BIM 360 we can upgrade the project via the tools within BIM 360 DOCS. Refer to this Autodesk article, How to tie the Build number with the Revit update to make sure all project members are on the same version and build. A new Central model will be created, then everyone can be instructed to create a NEW local file from the upgraded central.Īll project contributors must have the save Revit version and Build.
However, as discussed in the Revit Project Maintenance Guidelines blog, we should make sure all parties are aware of the upgrade work being done. When a project has work sharing enabled, the Central Model can be upgraded as we’ve discussed. This way no changes that occur as a result of the upgrade will be missed. I recommend Bluebeam for a before and after, full set comparison. Substituted fonts further will change text due to the font sizing changes. Note: Be sure that the proper fonts are installed when opening an upgraded model. “The method for measuring text size has changed so that the Text Size parameter more accurately represents the height of a capital letter (similar to AutoCAD).” In Revit 2016 and earlier, text size is measured by the ascender height – the height of lower case letter ‘h.’ In Revit 2017 size is measured by the cap-height – the height of the capital letter ‘M.’Īfter upgrading a model, review all views and sheets to verify the changes to your text instances. In most cases nothing, but when our clients upgraded to Revit 2017, we noticed text problems, correction, changes. The most important aspect to understand when upgrading a project is, what will change. Why not perform the Revit project maintenance as outlined in my blog, Revit Project Maintenance Guidelines. It’s recommended to audit the model at this time. Instruct all team members to synchronize with central, relinquish all elements, and close their local copies of the central model. Be sure to check the paths of the other linked elements once upgraded and reload.
I open the host, unload all the links save it, then upgrade.
if not, the host model will temporarily upgrade the links in order to load them in the upgraded host model. It’s best to upgrade the linked Revit projects before upgrading the host. Here are some tips and tricks in upgrading your Revit projects. Security, stability, and new features are enough for me to want to upgrade. There are many benefits to upgrade to the latest version of Revit. There are many reasons for the delay, cost, project member concerns, time, or even loss of work. Many of our clients hesitate to upgrade their Revit projects to the latest release.
