Family Files

Hi,

 

I am using a revit student version and I was not able to load the families. I have downloaded the family files from this website but I cannot find where should I copy them. I cannot find the program data folder in my computer in order to copy the family files in there. Is it because of the version that I am using?

I appear to be having the same problem, where can you find the family files on this site?

 

Kind regards

I don't know, we used to be able to download the

families and templates easy, but now it seems to 

be different. Just as easy though I guess. When 

you install Revit all that stuff is there, and if you

don't get it on install, you can go to "programs

and feature" and add it to your install.

 

Maybe someone else can be more clear on this

because I keep all that content on a secondary

drive.

I still can't find them though, I have no windows, no doors, and only one type of basic wall. According to cadlearning tutorials (for example http://www.autodesk.cadlearning.com/moodle/file.php/80/reva12c0004t0002.html) there should be multiple wall types.

I hope somebody knows where to find them or what I did wrong

Yes I see your predicament, without windows or doors your building

would be like a cave. Give me a few minutes to compose a nice

response to this common question. Who knows, I might need to

go get that stuff someday myself.

Okay first, as we all know by now, there is no secret backdoor link

for downloading that content. The Revit program itself has to get

that content. One of the problems getting it is that you might have

some high security restrictions to internet downloading. And although

you can download the program, the program might not be able to

bring that stuff with it because of those security restrictions. I would

first go into those browser security settings and open the thing up.

(I keep my computer wide open to the internet because it runs faster

and I never have anything but Windows and Revit on my small system

drive, so I DARE anyone to mess with those two programs, and if they

do,  I'll just wipe THEM and everything else off my little system drive

and put the good stuff back on clean, all in about 5 min.)

 

But try this first:

 

1. Control Panel > Programs and features.


2. Select <Revit product and version> from the list and click Uninstall/Change.


3. Find the "Add or Remove Features" button and click it.


4. See the list of content packs that can be installed.

 

You might get lucky. But if you don't, then let's keep going.

Since updating the software with the programs and features ran stuck each time, I did a complete reinstall of the software. That solved the problem for me. Thanks for your help!
