The current Content Catalog in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is not efficient when used in combination with Revit. From the perspective of a Revit author, the workflow of browsing, filtering, and loading families into projects is slow and cumbersome compared to other available solutions.
There are multiple third-party browsers that allow much faster access, better filtering, drag-and-drop functionality, and the option to load only the required family types. These tools integrate more seamlessly into Revit and significantly improve productivity.
Of course, we clearly see the advantages of having a central storage location in ACC, combined with the viewer and additional metadata – that is very valuable. But without a stronger and more efficient connection to Revit itself, the Content Catalog remains more of a storage system than a daily working tool for authors.
The risk is that project teams then create a second, parallel storage location optimized for Revit browsing, which leads to redundant and duplicate data. To truly support Revit authors and leverage the strengths of ACC, the Content Catalog needs to become a faster, more integrated tool for daily authoring workflows.
