    Default Can I use multiple folders for Lookup Tables

    I have created a custom family that uses a Lookup Table. I put the table into a custom location, and added a path to that location using Options>File Locations>Places. That didn't allow me to access the lookup table. When the table is placed in the OOB location, the content works perfectly.

    The Revit.ini file contains only a single location for Lookup Tables, but I don't want to mix my custom tables with the OOB tables.

    Is there away around this? Did I miss a step in using the custom location? Can I add a second path to the INI file?

    Thanks

    Good Question, don't know and haven't tried. Have you tried putting them in a folder beneath the folder indicated in the .ini file. Revit might be "clever" enough to parse sub-folders without coming out and telling us.

    I've been wondering the same thing but for now I am just underscoring my custom ones so they will be at the top and I can tell them apart.
