Assigning OmniClass codes
OmniClass is a new classification system for the construction industry. The
uses codes from OmniClass Table 23 to filter and identify shared content. A code consists of an OmniClass
number and title.
If an OmniClass code is not already assigned to a family, you are prompted to assign one during the sharing
process. However, you can continue to share with Autodesk Seek without defining one. All Revit families
have parameters for assigning an OmniClass code, except for the System and Annotation families.
You can access the OmniClass Number and OmniClass Title parameters in the Family Category and Parameters
dialog under Family Parameters. See
Determining how to share the family
If the family you are sharing to
setup is required. However, if the family was saved to a different location for sharing, you must ensure that
Revit Architecture can find any associated files needed for the proper display and functioning of the family.
Revit Architecture uses the default installation paths on Windows XP and Windows Vista
as shown in the following table. Because these paths can be changed during installation, your paths might
be different.
