What it does
Brings into the user's profiles folder (Documents\BIMit\Profili esportazione):
- all the profiles of a folder, for example the team's on the network. That folder's default (written in its
profili.json) becomes the user's default, and BIMit remembers the folder as the team folder: from then on new models start from the team's default; - or a single .json file, profile or preset, under the name you choose or the file's name.
How it works
- You tell your AI the folder or the file to import.
- BIMit copies the profiles into your profiles folder one by one; those it cannot read go into a list of errors and the others are imported anyway.
- Your AI receives the imported profiles, the errors, the default and the team folder.
Example requests
- "Import the team's export profiles from
\\server\BIM\Profili esportazione." - "Add the file
C:\Temp\Esporta Smith.jsonto my profiles and call it Smith."
What changes and how to undo
The profile files are written in your profiles folder, overwriting those with the same name. With a folder, the default (if the folder names one) and the team folder BIMit remembers change too. From a preset only the settings are taken, not the history or the selections. The source folder, the Revit model and the models' presets do not change.
Ctrl+Z does not undo the import, because it is in files. An imported profile is removed with Delete profile, and the default is set back with Default profile; an overwritten profile cannot be recovered.
Limits
AI level required: Write, which only you choose in Revit. A folder or a file must be given; you cannot import from your own profiles folder.
