Background
A settings database (file extension .db) allows you to store and re-use lists of catalogs, placement templates, ISM section creation templates, and family type creation templates.
To create a new database file for storing shared mappings settings, use the following procedure.
Note: You must have at least one shared settings database to perform any repository operation with the plug-in. If one has not been previously created or it has been deleted, you will be prompted to create a new database when an operation is initiated.
Steps to Accomplish
-
Launch the Edit ISM Revit Link Shared Settings by either:
Outside of a repository operation: By selecting the Settings tool on the Bentley tab.
During a repository operation: Click Edit Shared Settings on the Match Section Mappings dialog. -
Select New from the dialog menu. The Create New Database dialog opens.
-
Either:
type the file path and file name in the Database file path field
or
click […] to open the Select ISM Revit Link Settings Database File Path dialog, which is used to name and save a file -
Select the measurement system in the Database profile list.
-
(Optional) You can leave out the default family files by clearing the Read default family files option (not recommended for most models).
-
Click OK. The new database file is created and opened in the Edit ISM Revit Link Shared Settings window.
