Determine Requirements for Revit Deployments

Before creating one or more deployments, take time to consider the needs of the Revit users and your organization.

Depending on the number of planned Revit installations, you may want to create a separate deployment for each unique combination of user disciplines, user settings, and other deployment requirements. By planning deployments carefully before you create and implement them, you can streamline the process and reduce work.

To determine your requirements, answer these questions:

• Does your organization use roaming user profiles?
• Do you need to create deployments for different groups of users based on discipline, software features, and settings?
• Which Revit content packs does each group of users require?
• Where will user projects and files reside?
• Do you want to include additional files with a deployment?
• Which user settings do you want to specify for online resources for Revit?
• Does your organization use Revit Server to improve response times when users share models across a wide area network?

Based on your answers to these questions, perform preliminary tasks, such as generating a custom Revit.ini file or planning your Revit Server implementation.
