Configure Revit Worksharing

The Meridian Revit link supports Revit worksharing and can manage collaboration on worksets and Revit central files.

1. 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.

2. Click the Revit Building tab.

   The Revit link's settings page appears in the right pane.

3. Click Edit.

   To export the settings file to your computer, click the Export button. This can be useful if you want to edit the file in another text editor. You can then copy your changes to the Clipboard and paste them into Configurator.

4. Locate the section of the file that begins with [Worksharing].

   This section contains the names of Meridian properties to synchronize and settings to control the link.

5. Delete the semicolon (;) at the beginning of each line that contains a setting that you want to configure.

6. Edit the value on the right side of the setting statement to the value that you want using the descriptions in the following table.

   Specify Meridian properties using the syntax <PropertySetName>.<PropertyName>. The properties must be created manually. If you want them to be visible to users, you must also create and configure a property page to show them.

7. Click OK.
