2. Open the connector interface and click the refresh icon.

   

3. A message appears showing a list of deleted exchanges and asks if you want to permanently remove these from the connector interface.

   

4. Click Ok to remove deleted exchanges from the connector interface. All deleted exchange entries will be removed from the Connector interface.

   

Remove a Deleted Data Exchange from Load Interface

1. Open the Rhino model which references the deleted exchange in Autodesk Docs.

2. Open the connector interface and click the refresh icon.

   

3. A message appears with individual prompts for each exchange in a list of multiple deleted exchanges, asking if you want to permanently remove them from the connector interface.

   

4. Click Unload to remove deleted exchanges from the connector interface and Rhino document also.

5. If you click Cancel, it removes only interface entry and data remains in Rhino document.

   All deleted exchange entries will be removed from the connector interface.

View an Exchange on the Web

This section explains how you can view a selected exchange from the loaded exchange list on Autodesk Docs. When you select an exchange for viewing, you will be redirected to Autodesk Docs and the exchange will be displayed in a new web browser window.

1. Select the relevant exchange from the connector interface.

2. Click the More menu and click View on Web from the drop-down list.

Map Rhino Layers to Revit Categories

Use the Data Exchange Rhino Template to create an exchange with Revit Categories. The template provides predefined layers in your Rhino file. The exchanges created from Rhino using these layers will help you map the Rhino elements to the Revit categories downstream.

To use the template:

1. Click the File tab and click New.
2. A new window opens with all the available templates.
3. Choose the template and click Open.

For information about mapping between layers and categories, refer to the CSV file located at @\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\Plug-ins\DataExchangeRhinoConnector\ Revit_Category_And_Layer.csv

Use the CSV File to Map the Revit Categories to Rhino Layers. Revit Categories from an exchange can be mapped to the desired Rhino Layer while loading an exchange.

For information about mapping between layers and categories, refer to the CSV file located at @\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\7.0\Plug-ins\DataExchangeRhinoConnector\Revit_Category_And_Layer.csv

Sample data in the CSV file is as follows:

A layer named A-WALL will be mapped to the Walls category. The layer names used in mapping are compliant with AIA (American Institute of Architect Standard). The CSV file entries are listed in alphabetical order. If necessary, you can add the required category for mapping in this table.
