It seems the more we try to keep our personal information safe by using antivirus software to increase the security of our computers, the harder it becomes to install software properly on our machines. As a result of the increased security and the need for smaller installation packages, Revit's libraries and templates are not being installed with the Revit software. We now need to be diligent and self-sufficient when it comes to installing Revit content. The following explains where to find the content and how to get it installed, so you can continue using your Revit software without missing anything. Revit Content for the Latest Versions of Revit The following are the available ways to access the Revit content for the current version plus three versions back: From the Autodesk website: Autodesk Revit Content
From your Autodesk Account located at: https://manage.autodesk.com/home/
From within the software:
Below are the options for how to find and install content for older Revit and Revit LT versions. Revit 2022 In Revit 2022, you can go to the Insert tab and click Load Autodesk Family to load families from the Autodesk cloud. Revit 2021 In Revit 2021, you can go to the Insert tab and click Load Autodesk Family to load families from the Autodesk cloud. In Revit 2021 only, you can also access the .exe files within the software by clicking on Get Autodesk Content from the Insert tab, which takes you to the Autodesk website: Autodesk Revit 2021 Content. Revit 2020 Download the content from the Autodesk website: Autodesk Revit 2020 Content. Revit 2020 does not have alternative ways to access the content. Revit 2019 Download the content from the Autodesk website: Autodesk Revit 2019 Content. Revit 2019 does not have alternative ways to access the content.
Once you have downloaded the .exe file(s), double-click on the file to extract the content. In the extraction dialog box, specify where you want the content to be installed by clicking the Browse button, then click Extract, as shown in the image below.
I hope this blog is helpful because missing Revit content is frustrating and can delay your progress in a project. Visit the ASCENT website for more of my blogs and webcasts, or take a look at our Revit courseware titles.
