    <description>&lt;P&gt;AutoCAD's Open Dialog includes an option to open the file in a Read-Only mode.&amp;nbsp; I would like to have this same ability in Revit.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We routinely need to open a Revit file just to copy a family out or to take a measurement.&amp;nbsp; But we don't want to accidentally save the file PLUS if we were to open it in a read-only mode someone else could still open it for write purposes.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;There is a Revit Viewer program that comes along with Revit. It allows just that. It's also good for PM's and Principals to have, so they're never really "IN" the model.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;A feature we use at our firm: all projects consist of central file(s). This allows to create a &lt;STRONG&gt;detached file&lt;/STRONG&gt; for the &lt;EM&gt;"copy a family out or to take a measurement"&lt;/EM&gt;. Additional central files make it possible to access the project by multiple users, even support is easily possible if a tech or bim-manager needs a quick look a the project even while team users are accessing it. Also backup purposes can be handy.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It would be great to have this option.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, since most of the projects where I work are on ACC, it would be even more interesting to be able to open collaborators’ models in Read Only mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We cannot open their model directly from Revit because we don’t have modification rights (which is completely justified).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But if we could access it in Read Only mode, it would avoid having to download the model from ACC to open it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
