Model History

What it does

Keeps a record of every project opened in this Revit, with its opens, syncs, warnings, file size, sheet count and links over time. You can pin models, set a discipline, see how models link to each other and reopen several at once.

When to use it

Use it to get back to the models you work on, or to see how a model's warnings and size have changed and who last synced it.

How to use it

1. Go to Penguin Manage › Management › Model History.
2. Search the history list, or pin the models you use most.
3. Select a model to see its details, syncs, warnings and links, or view the link hierarchy.
4. Tick several models and open them, with audit, detach or worksets options if you need them.
5. Use Settings to set when a model counts as stale and which models are never recorded.

What you get

Opens and syncs are recorded automatically. The window shows each model's open count, last sync, average sync time, warning trend and file size, and reports which models opened and which failed.

Good to know

File size is not measured for cloud models. Models matching your exclusion rules or outside the recording mode (all, cloud only, local only) are not recorded.
