Does RevitBatchProcessor run Revit Server based models ? #48

Hi,

Cab RevitBatchProcessor run Revit Server based models?

We are using Revit Server to be able to open the central models on two different office locations. I would like to open and detach from Revit server before starting any operations instead of the local copy of the worksharing model.

Thanks for your effort!

I’m not entirely sure of how the file structure is set up with Revit Server, but I may be able to offer some insight.

It is possible to open a .rvt file on a network drive like \\fsmydata\data\Vol5 ...etc. This might be a related issue. If you have a network drive like P:\\ that’s mapped to \\fsmydata\, use \\fsmydata.

I don't think it will work but you could try prefixing with the address of the Revit server (from memory Revit Server addresses start with RSN:// I think?)

Already tried that but unfortunately no go.

Please, let me know if you find a solution to the problem.

Could you set up a VPN, then access central model just like you're working on LAN?

There won't be any support for Revit Server. But there is limited support for BIM360 models coming soon.
