When creating a
Revit deployment, you can specify custom application settings and provide a project template.
These custom files are provided as part of the installation for all users who receive the deployment, thus streamlining the customization process and automating standards across the organization.
Note: If you plan to use a custom Revit.ini file or a shared project template for the deployment, create and prepare that file before starting the deployment creation. Place the file in a location that can be accessed from the computer where you are creating the deployment. See
Configure User Disciplines and Settings for Revit Deployments.
The Customize Application Settings options are available on the
Create Deployment >
Configure <deployment name> page of the Revit installer. See
Create a Custom Revit Deployment.
Choose one of these options:
- Default Revit Application Settings - Use the default Revit.ini file.
-
Shared Project Template - Use the default Revit.ini file and the specified project template.
- For
Name, specify the template name that will display in the
Revit user interface.
- For
Path, click the browse button, and navigate to the project template file (RTE file). Select it, and click Open.
Note: You can specify only one project template using this method. To specify multiple project templates, create and use a custom version of the Revit.ini file.
-
Custom Revit.ini - Use a custom version of the Revit.ini file to define settings as desired for this deployment. In the DirectoriesXXX section of the Revit.ini file, use the DefaultTemplate setting to specify one or more project templates.
After selecting this option, specify the custom Revit.ini file, using a complete (absolute) path. (You can click the browse button, and navigate to the custom Revit.ini file. Select it and click Open.) Then click Import.
