Using the ArchVision Content Manager

Revit Architecture provides many RPC objects that you are licensed to use in rendered images for Revit
projects. If you purchase additional RPC content, you must use the ArchVision Content Manager (ACM) to
manage it.
NOTE Use the ACM only to manage additional RPC content that you purchase from ArchVision. You do not need
to use the ACM for the RPC content that is provided with Revit Architecture.
If the additional RPC content resides on the local computer, you must configure Revit Architecture to access
it. See Configuring Revit Architecture for Local RPC Content
If your organization stores additional RPC content in a network location, you need to specify network paths
for the RPC files and for the ACM. See
1150.

d Click OK.
See Family Types on page 366.
By default, for an entourage family, Revit Architecture uses the family geometry (that you
imported or sketched in the drawing area) to represent the object in a rendered image. If you
want to specify an RPC file to define its geometry, do the following:
a Click Settings Family Category and Parameters.
b Under Family Parameters, for Rendering Appearance Source, select Third Party.
NOTE If you want to use the geometry that you create or import for a render appearance, for
Rendering Appearance Source, select Family Geometry.
c Click OK.
