Locating files in Revit 2020

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 10:30:41 GMT

I've downloaded Revit 2020 and have been using for 2 weeks now. I'm having trouble locating files for family template, or rebar images, plumbing items etc. The software should pop up the folder where by default it is located. I tried to locate where location is mentioned on site. But same data is not found. Please help me regarding this problem.

If i have to download all the files please share me a link. Thank you

They should be located in:

Local Disk (C) - ProgramData - Autodesk - RVT 2020 - Libraries.

You can check if this is set in Options, File locations, Places.

I checked it's not there. Also my file name is not RVT2020, instead it' is Revit 2020. Also it doesn't have folder named Libraries

The problem sometimes happens when you install Revit without internet.

You need to download the library separately and put it in the correct place then edit Revit options to open it by default.

However, you seems to be searching Program files while you should search in Program data which is a hidden folder in your C.

Are you sure you're looking at ProgramData and not Program Files?

This won't happen if you didn't download the content or changed the default location for the content when you did download it.

You can download the content from here.
