Model Upgrader

What it does

Scans a folder for Revit projects, and families if you choose, shows the Revit version each file was saved in, and upgrades the files you confirm to the Revit version you are running. It can also follow the models those files link to.

When to use it

Use it when a project moves to a newer Revit version and you would rather upgrade a whole folder in one go than open each file by hand.

How to use it

1. Go to Penguin Manage › Management › Model Upgrader.
2. Choose a folder and set the scan options: subfolders, family files and linked models.
3. Review each file's version and state, and tick the ones to upgrade.
4. Confirm and read the per-file results.

What you get

Each file you confirm is opened in the Revit version you are running and saved in place. Each file is reported as upgraded or failed, with the reason.

Good to know

Local copies, open files, files already at or newer than this version, and unreadable files are listed but not offered for upgrade.
