Revit.ini File Editor

The Revit.ini file is a key configuration file in Revit that stores settings related to user preferences, system behavior, and project defaults.

The Revit.ini File Editor provides a simple and efficient way to manage these settings without the need for manual editing. With this tool, users can quickly adjust Revit’s configurations to match project needs or personal preferences, making it an essential utility for both professionals and teams working with Revit.

Managing Entries

**The Revit.ini File Editor allows you to add new settings or update existing ones within the Revit.ini file.

To add or update an entry:**

• Select an existing entry to update it, or click New Entry at the top to create a new one.
• Enter the Category: Specify the section where the setting belongs (e.g., UserInterface, Snapping).
• Enter the Property: Provide the key name for the setting (e.g., RecentFiles, DefaultTemplate).
• Enter the Value: Set the appropriate value for the key (e.g., %USERPROFILE%\Documents\ for ProjectPath or a list of increments for SnapIncrements).
• Click Create to create a new entry, or Update to save changes to an existing entry.

Filtering Settings

The Revit.ini File Editor includes a filtering tool to help you quickly locate specific settings:

• Click the Filter icon in the toolbar.
• Enter search criteria in the Category, Property, or Value fields.
• The results will filter dynamically based on your input, allowing for quick access to the relevant settings.

There is also an option to display only user-defined settings by toggling the Show only user settings switch.

List Controls

In the Revit.ini File Editor, several controls are available for managing settings:

• Restore Button: restores a modified setting to its default value. The default values are retrieved from the UserDataCache directory.

• Delete Button: permanently removes the selected entry from the Revit.ini file. Once deleted, the setting cannot be restored unless manually added again.

• Toggle Switch: temporarily enable or disable a setting. You can toggle it back on at any time to restore the setting without losing its value.

  

Backing Up the Revit.ini File

Before any edits are made, the Revit.ini File Editor automatically creates a backup of the file.
These backup files are stored in the same directory as the original Revit.ini file and follow the naming convention Revit_RevitLookupBackup_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, ensuring that you can easily restore previous settings if necessary.
