Revit 2015

[steveandrews1065]

So I download the trial for Revit 2015 and there are no libraries for floors or walls or any other elements. I google the problem and Revi replies that there is a problem with the system where you have to reload parts of the files but to understand the solution you have to be an expert in software which I am not. Oh yeah, I'm an expert in design, sorry. So I just wonder why revit sens out downloads which they know are defective and then expect you as the customer to fix them?

I am NOT an Autodesk Employee or have anything to do with Autodesk (except use their software for many years)

I take issue with your statement that Autodesk sends out Revit updates which they know are defective and then expect the customer to fix them.

Software is a work in progress.

Get over it or go back to a pencil.

AND...the content is a separate download.

You figure it out.

Everybody else has.

Steve, 

   Please see the following:

"Revit 2015: Templates and families not installed"

   http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/...

   The content library was given a separate installer because sometimes during downloads there could be network interruptions that could cause some content such as the libraries to not be installed so we made that content a separate installation, this is not a defect, this was designed so that you wouldn't get a corrupted installation if you had a network error.

Steve, 

Could you please accept my last response as the solution. 

Thanks,

Yeah I figured it out "like everone else" because I deleted the software
and downloaded it a second time. It would have been nice if it had worked
the first time after a a 2 hr plus download.
