Revit 2013 ASHRAE (5.00.00)

Has anyone found the location of the tables for these? They are not in the same location as 2012.

Also, when I click on a duct fitting the ASHRAE Table column is blank in the instance properties.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Revit Shared\Ashrae

Mine shows at the above location. I am using the Revit version from the Building Design Suite Ultimate, where Revit is all the verticals in one install. It may be different for a RMEP2013 standalone install.

I was able to find them in that location. The other issue is that when I click on a fitting it doesn't show a value in the ASHRAE Fitting instance properties...I tried elbows, transitions, taps, tees, etc.

I was having the same problem as Phil, and found a solution.

On my machine (WinXP, Revit 2013 suite), I had to manually create the folder dennis mentioned above (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Revit Shared) and copy and paste in the ASHRAE database from the default location that mine was installed to (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Revit Shared\). Since you can't update the add-in to look in a different location, I think this is the only solution.

The main difference is that x86 part of program files. After that, everything worked great! Keep in mind you will need to do this again if there are any future updates to Revit which update the ASHRAE database.

Good luck!

I would like to bump this thread because even though I followed the instructions and copy/pasta'd my Revit Share content to the non-x86 directory... I still can't seem to get my dang Elbows/Taps to grab the ASHARE table.

Is there someplace else I need to be looking?

djfreaq - in some cases, fittings can't be assigned a table. For example, if the direction of flow can't be determined, the list of tables may be empty:

That cleared things up. Thanks Martin!
