    that is bad news for us, we use the script in all ours projects, and is better than the make local from Autodesk.

    Ok, it has finally been updated. I think this will be the last one! See the first post for a download link.

    Question Re: Transparent Local File Creation - GUI (v5) *UPDATED*

    Hi Dave (and all the other readers),

    When I googled how to work with worksets and local files tis forum came up the most times, and there is alot of information here Thanks for that in advance
    I'm quite new in the Revit world. So hopefully I'm not asking something obvious.

    I want to work with your Revit make Local tool. But it keeps on giving me an "Revit MEP 2014 is not installed at the path specified in Settings.ini" error. I'm using the 5.1 version and edited the path in the ini file.
    I'm using Revit 2014 (installed in the Autodesk Design Suite) Revit is not default installed on the C-drive but is installed on d:\program files\Autodesk\Revit 2014

    I named the file: GPier-M14-central.rvt
    Edited (only) this in the ini file:
    14ONEBOX=1
    14=d:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2014\

    What am I doing wrong ?

    Regards,
    René

    Hi Rene', it seems like in the settings.ini file you still have references to Revit MEP 2014, but if you have the "onebox" version, you need to remove those references and only leave the installation path as you have it above in your post. Let me know if it doesn't work and in that case, attach the ini file here and I'll take a look at it. Thanks. EDIT: Make sure to remove the back-slash after Revit 2014...that will also cause trouble.

    Hi Dave thanx for your tips.

    I've tried removing the "\" bud the result was the same.
    I can't find anny other reference to MEP.
    The only reference to MEP 2014 is in the filename (M14). Maybee I should rename the central file ?

    I've added the file, so you can have a look at it.

    Thanks in advance again !

    Rene, you need to specify the path up to the word "Revit" for OneBox, as explained in the settings.ini comments. So remove "2014" and you should be good (see path for 13 OneBox for the correct syntax).

    David, I am rying to use your plugin on Revit 2015 (ONEBOX), and having a difficulty with syntax of the filename.. cople of things that might changed since version 2014:
    Revit 2015 is now in the directory

    C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2015
    for the code, I just replicated and modified the 2014 line:

    [REVIT]

    14ONEBOX=1
    14=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit

    15ONEBOX=1
    15=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit

    it seems not to pick up the syntax for file name

    something-15ONEBOX-CENTRAL.rvt

    and not for
    something-15-CENTRAL.rvt
    Do you think it is still valid for Revit 2015?
    Thank you in advance for reply!

    It did work for Revit 2015 with the "discipline" setting. i.e. P15-CENTRAL.
    15="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit"
    Now, I am looking at "batch" functionality- as it is just opens detached unnamed file and stops, where ideally it would save all files in the folder as "detached " local files and close Revit.
