RPC Error

[sandovala]

Our office bought the All Access Subscription plan through Archvision. Tried to generate some RPC families using the RPC content we purchased and get the error message "Unsupported File Version". If I browse through the RPC Filename, I can get the file to stick in the family, but when I load into project and render, nothing renders, and if I check the properties of that RPC I see no RPC associated with it. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks

I noticed that where your file location is specified from is your d: drive, i am familiar with this being the CD drive, so unless your drive is different, I'm thinking that unless the RPC file you are trying to locate is actually on your hard drive, then it won't work.
Let me know if i am wrong with anything.

it's actually on a network drive, for somereason the default rpc location is d:, but when I browse to L: the network drive and select that RPC it gives me that error, and doesn't stick and the file location reverts back to d:.....

Revit doesn't support the newer versions of RPC; looks like that's your problem.

You also need to have the RPC files in your render path, IIRC.

Added the path to my Render settings. Talked to Archvision today and they told me that the RPC all access that we purchased does not work with Revit, because the content is under licenced under the ACM (Archvision Content Manager), Revit does not require the ACM module to load RPCs like other programs like Viz, thus you are not able to use it. No problems because our office is moving into using Viz for all our renderings.
