Preview Generator¶
The Preview Generator creates consistent preview images for Revit content used by Flow and the Revit content library.
Use it to scan a content folder and automatically create missing preview images for supported family and drafting-view content.
Open Preview Generator¶
On the Revit ribbon:
Flow → Content → Preview Generator
Select the content folder you want to process.
Preview Generator searches the selected folder and its subfolders for supported content.
Supported Content¶
Preview Generator supports:
- Revit family files (
.rfa). - Extracted drafting-view container files (
.rvt).
Existing preview images are skipped automatically, allowing Preview Generator to be run against an existing content library without regenerating every preview.
What do you want to do?¶
