Update Renditions

Renditions are typically updated automatically when an updated source document is released from a workflow. However, there may be circumstances in which you want to update renditions without initiating a workflow or editing the source documents, such as:

  • You have replaced the content of the source document with a file from an outside organization

  • You receive updated renditions from an outside organization and will not receive an updated source document until later

  • You synchronize Meridian properties to a drawing title block and need to update the rendition to reflect the new values.

In these and similar circumstances, you can update renditions manually.

When rendering has completed, the new rendition will appear in the viewer. For information about setting the rendition properties and monitoring the Publisher queue, see View the Publisher Queue.

Note:

To perform this task, you must be in the Account Configurator user group and the All Scope filter must be selected.

ClosedNotes About Functionality

  • The document will be locked by the Rendition Server account until the rendition has completed.

  • Only documents that are unlocked in your local workspace or that are already locked by the Rendition Server account may have their renditions updated.

  • The resulting rendition may contain additional information such as a watermark, depending on your system's configuration.

  • If Enable XOD Viewing is turned off, updating a rendition may fail if EDM server and Meridian Enterprise Server are located on the same machine, and Content Indexing (Windows Search) is ON.

    To address this issue, you can adjust the RetryWriteRendition and WaitWriteRendition settings. Learn more about these settings.

  • If rendering certain Revit files (.rvt) consistently leads to any error which does not seem applicable, check if opening the .rvt file in the Revit version installed on the render node causes an upgrade dialog to appear. If so, the file should be upgraded in an interactive Revit session before trying to render again.
