For Generative Design in Revit, you can organize study types in folders and add the folders to a drop-down list for easy access from the Create Study dialog.
When creating a study, you first select a folder. For Choose Folder, the drop-down list displays only the folder names. To see the complete path, hover over the folder name in the list. When you select a folder, the Create Study dialog displays all study types that reside in the folder.
You can add more folders to the drop-down list. You can specify folders on your computer and mapped network drives.
To add a folder
- (Optional) Move or copy study types to the desired folder.
You can place study types in the folder before or after adding the folder to the list.
- Open the Create Study dialog: click Manage tab
