read-only

Hello,

If I want to open a file just to read, it is not possible. I actually only need to look at the project, make a few cuts here and there, and check the drawing, but I do not intend to change anything. Our draftsman updates the plans. In Autodesk AutoCAD you can open this as 'read-only'. Can you arrange this here as well?

Hi, @loesAGYTH ,

There is the Autodesk Viewer, which allows you to view models without changing them. Does this resolve your idea?

Not only the Autodesk Viewer, which works great, but you can install and run the Revit Viewer without a license as well.  So, yes, there is a Revit Viewer.

Hi,

It is not necessary for me to install the reader program anymore, because I have the full version.
But sometimes I just want to "open" and "read only".
Is that possible?

You don't need to install Revit Viewer. It's already installed as part of your installation of Revit. Just search for it in your taskbar.
