Enable Revit Indexing

The Revit Indexing Service deeply indexes Revit family files, including family parameters and objects, so that you can search Revit family files with the Revit Vault Add-in.

Important: By default, the Revit Indexing Service is not enabled as an option until you download and install the Revit Plug-in for Vault Professional (Server) package. You can obtain the Revit Plug-in for Vault Professional (Server) package from www.autodesk.com/Vault_Plug-ins .

Once the Revit Plug-in for Vault Professional (Server) package is installed, you can enable the Revit Indexing Service.

Release Availability

This feature is available in Autodesk Vault Professional 2014.
