Revit - Store 'standards' files in Vault

[Chad-Smith]

Description

There are other files in Revit which aren’t Families, but still require the ability to be archived and versioned in Vault. These files are;

• Project Templates
• Family Templates
• Shared Parameters
• Keynotes

They should all be directly accessible from Vault, and used transparently.

Impact

These are critical files for the successful operation of Revit. These files are just are important as project files, and deserve to be stored and archived in Vault so they are offered the same benefits and ‘protection’.

Severity

Medium

Solution

Each one of these types of files should be accessible in Vault directly from Revit. Ideally, each open dialog box such as the one shown below should contain a means to access the files directly which are stored in Vault.
