Registering GsRevit

Revit needs to be told that the Revit / GSA link plug-in (GsRevit) is available, where it resides on disk and what options are provided, before Revit will offer the GsRevit options. If Revit is installed at the time GSA is installed then the GSA installation will automatically register GsRevit with Revit. Successful registration is indicated by the presence of the GSA options in the Revit Tools > External tools menu (and that they work!).

Section Mappings File

The mappings file, Mappings.db3, is a SQLite database that contains mappings between GSA sections and Revit column and framing family types. This file is installed at a default location in the GSA installation program files folder, typically, <C:\Program Files\Oasys\GSA x.y> where x and y and version numbers. The location of this file can be changed in GSA preferences.
