Image Paths

[NKramer]

Where are the paths for linked images saved/ changed? The raster image dialogue inst very helpful.

Still holding on to 2009

Thanks,

MAN, I have been trying to get my company to switch to Revit over other products, and they stomped me with this simple issue: How do they/we "reload/update" linked images like in AutoCAD xrefs/images, etc?

If someone either of Autodesk or on AUGI could give me an answer to that one, it would give me a little more ammo to address our BIM needs.

Maybe even if it's updating raster images through API or exporting to something.

Thanks, guys! :-)

From REVIT HELP:
When you move the mouse over the Image File field for a decal or color or bump pattern, Revit Architecture displays the path of the image file.

Best Practice for Storing Image Files

Store image files related to a project in one location. Specify this location on the Rendering tab of the Options dialog. If you need to send a project file to a team member, you can also send the directory containing its image files. This strategy ensures that the team member has all files required for the project, and that custom render appearances and decals display properly in the project.

Is there any way besides for looking for each and every image? I know you shouldn't have many in a project but sometimes they are needed, and I don't really want to track them all down.

I was hoping (although the answer is rarely this easy) that it would be in the Raster Image dialogue or something of the kind; along the lines of manage links.

To throw a cat in...ArchiCAD has had this functionality for years. A list of linked files & their paths, with the ability to reload them. C'mon Revit!
