How can I use the plug-in to switch an object from LOD300 to LOD100?
🔁 It all depends on the name of the .rfa files of the different LODs of the object. If they have identical names, objects in the project and all their instances will be replaced automatically. There is no need to perform a manual replacement. If the files have different names, the object will be downloaded as a new object, which means that the previous object must be replaced manually.Very popular
If I remove or modify properties of an object on the platform, are these properties removed or modified in Revit for users?
When an object is updated within a Revit project, only changes made to properties already in the object are taken into account. If a property is deleted online, this does not affect the object in Revit. When a property is changed, it is revised in Revit. Adding a reference does not affect the object in Revit. A change to the 3D model (changing the RVT or RFA file) does not affect the object in Revit. Otherwise, any update to tSome readers
