Introduction to Project & Family Upgrader from the BIM Batch Suite
Typically when users move to a newer version of Revit® it is highly desirable to upgrade their family libraries to the new version. This usually happens about once per year. It can also be desirable to upgrade projects and all of the dependent links to the new version as well. In both cases this process can be extremely time consuming and tedious. Projects often have to be handled manually because there can be unforeseen steps, and the Autodesk script for family upgrades rarely is successful for more than 50 families.
The Projects & Families Upgrader from CTC Software can help automate this process, saving time and frustration when upgrades are necessary. This webinar will discuss the workflow and options that you can leverage to make your upgrade process as streamlined and as fast as possible.
Learning Objectives:
- Accessing Project & Family Upgrader
