Import families from ATH

Importing and updating families from the ATH files.

When you execute the command, you have to first select the folder containing the ATH family files which you want to import. Then the following dialog box is started:

 

Dialog box ATH Import

 

The families contained in the selected folder are displayed. The files with the index can be seen in the branch Modified ATHs. You can select the files to be imported using tick boxes in the tree structure. By clicking on + or - you open or close the corresponding branch. Selecting the superordinate element selects in each case all superordinate elements.

Update parameter values
Activate this tick box to update the type parameters of the families with the data from the XML files.

Import
When you click the Import button, the dialog box is terminated and the import process is started:

If the families to be imported are part of a family with several variants, the import is performed as a separate, independent family without variants and all samples used in the model are replaced by this new family. The variant is then removed from the original family.

 

Once the selected families have been updated, the import report is shown in a dialog box. Here, you can see which families have been updated. The updated and supplemented parameters are also shown.

The families in your Revit project have been updated. Optionally, their parameters have been updated.
