How to insert thumbnail of detail components in properties in Revit?

[mrheuseler]

Hey,

Looking for a way to insert a thumbnail i Revit Properties, when i'm working with Detail Components.

(Screenshot). 

I have tried alot of ways now, and from my p.o.v., it's only 3D-families, like doors, windows, components etc. which is showing the thumbnails.

Do you know a way to do it? 

Thank you very much.

Kind regards, 

Morten Heuseler

Hi @mrheuseler

You could try an app like a Preview Image Generator*

Hey, 

Thank you,. 

I have now tried the Preview Image Generator, and it is quite nice, and it shows perfectly the Thumbnails, before i open it in Revit. 

My "problem" in Revit is not solved thougt. 🙂

.... because you can NOT do that in native REVIT

Disappointing, that a "simple" thing like that, is not possible in a hightech program like Revit. Hope for better in 2020...

Any update on this yet @Autodesk @revitdeveloper ?

Enabling more features/abilities for users to "flesh out" the GUI would be a significant improvement for the broader user base
