Adding Unique File Elements to Content Catalog

Although most file formats are exported seamlessly to Content Catalog, there are a few formats that take some extra steps.

Here are some workarounds to help you add that content to Content Catalog:

Spot coordinates

Since spot coordinates are more of a function in Revit, they are not directly saveable like most items we can export from Revit. You can, however, save the actual symbol for the spot coordinate.

Adding Unique File Elements

Curtains / mullions

To add curtains/mullions, Batch Export the curtain wall or curtain system.

Adding Unique File Elements

Filled regions, line weights & line patterns

To add filled regions, line weights, and line patterns to Content Catalog, lay all of them out on a drafting view and batch export that drafting view.

Adding Unique File Elements

3D views, plan views, sections, and elevations

To save these, you could create a template (.rte) file or a project file that you save. Keep in mind that it wouldn’t be specific to the model elements; it is just going to show where views are oriented, what they are looking at, where they are cut, etc.
