Properties and the Revit Vault Add-in

 
 
 
NoteProperties support for the Revit Vault add-in is available in the Autodesk Vault 2014 Subscription Release 1.

When a Revit Project is checked into a vault, the Vault Server extracts the properties associated with the project, including custom properties created in Revit.

NoteWrite-back support is not available for custom properties. Custom properties are treated as read-only.

Mapping Properties

If you want users to be able to search and edit properties for Revit projects in Vault, the properties must be mapped to user-defined properties (UDPs) in the Vault client.

ImportantRevit properties are extracted as text data types, even if they are dates, and cannot be mapped to date type UDPs. Custom UDPs should be created with a text data type before mapping to Revit properties.

Choose Revit Models as the Content Source Provider when mapping in the client.

Note By default, the Author property is mapped to the Author (UDP).
