Customizable Revit Loading Screen

Customizable Revit Loading Screen

Revit should allow companies to customize the loading screen when opening a model.

It could display internal BIM standards, Revit tips, project information, training content, or important updates, ideally managed centrally by BIM managers.

Content should be centrally managed and displayed while models are loading.

@Martin_EckartA47G7 are you referring to a Starting View within the project which you could create in the project template file?  Something like this:

I have even linked in pdf pages from the network with update information, etc. for the user to see.  Then when the document is updated, it automatically updates in all of the projects.  

 

OR, are you referring to a customizable "Open Model" screen that could pull information from somewhere (e.g. network location) to display.  I don't see how it could pull any project specific info until the project is opened, but the other things that you mentioned like Revit Tips and BIM Standards, etc. could be interesting.  Give them something to read while opening some of those large models which can take several minutes sometimes.  Interesting thought.

Hello @Ric_Weber , my post was just moved to this thread. I am actually referring to a customizable loading screen. Some models take several minutes to load, and during that time I would like to display information or other content.

My idea has nothing to do with the starting view inside the model.

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones, could you please move my post back?

I like the idea; do you have a visual concept of what it might look like?

@Martin_EckartA47G7, so to confirm, you are referring to the "Open Model" dialog screen while the model is opening?  I could definitely change things.  Perhaps it could even have a flashing banner that could be added by the admin somehow to alert folks of big important things.
