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. This feature must be enabled before you can search Revit family files.

Important: By default, the Revit Indexing Service is not enabled as an option until you install the Autodesk Revit Interoperability plug-in during the Vault Server installation.

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

Enable Revit Indexing with the ADMS Console

1. Launch the ADMS Console.
2. Right-click on the Vault that you want to index for Revit Family Search and select Revit Indexing Service.

   You can also select Revit Indexing Service from the Actions menu.

3. On the Revit Indexing Service dialog, select Yes, enable the Revit Indexing Service.
4. Click OK to save your selection.
   Note: The Vault Server starts indexing objects in family files. Depending on the number of family files in the vault, the initial indexing could take some time.

   You can now use Revit Family Search on the Load from Vault dialog.
