Save data in revit at the application level

[SamBerk]

Hi all,

I know I can use Extensible Storage to save data in Revit but it's saved in the rvt file, so my question is, is there any way to save data in revit at the application level? so i can access it from all projects.

Thanks

Have you tried using a shared project parameter?

The shared project parameter will solve your issue.

1)Create a shared project parameter

2)Add shared project parameter to each Revit projects

Revit saves its BIM data in RVT files.

A few global application settings are stored in INI files and the Windows registry.

If you want to save global data of your own, you can do the same: place it in an INI file, the Windows registry, or, if it is more voluminous, in a database or some other file of your own.

The Revit API and extensible storage do not provide any functionality for storing data outside of Revit RVT and RFA documents.
