Trouble accessing additional library files that came with revit 2022 download

[cherylellington]

Hello--I'm brand new and not sure if this is the right forum for this question.  I'm a college student with educational access.  When I installed Revit 2022 it had extra materials, libraries, that came with it that I believe were downloaded with the program.  How do I access them now?  I think they need to brought into Revit.

Thanks,

Cheryl

Content are not included in the initial program installation.

Download and install:

or load from Autodesk cloud:

I've used the cloud but wondered if the library offered more.  I'm not  great with file management and not sure to find/link the library content with the revit.

Sure download and install give you more content (from different regions and languages) and family templates if you need to create families from scratch.

After install, you can find the content from the sidebar shortcut buttons:

A complete list of folders are under Options:

Thanks so much--I'll give that a try!

Well--When I'm in the 'Load Family' dialog box and click 'Imperial', only two folders come up: Route analysis and structural precast.  Not much of anything in either folder.

Have you downloaded and installed from the link provided?

Sorry--let me do that --that's probably the problem.
