revit system library issue 2016

[Carlo B]

Hello everyone, I just installed revit 2016.

the program works but I have a problem regarding libraries. in the sense that it tells me that the positions of both libraries and system rte files are wrong.

Now I know you have to go to the location of the files and put the right path but I can't find the right folder where the files are.

Can someone tell me the path and the right files?

 

[Alfredo Medina]

generally, libraries are here:
c:\programdata\autodesk\rvt 2016\libraries

in revit 2016, there is an option of the operating system to make the installation of revit libraries only. windows > control panel > programs > (revit 2016 bookcases... I don't remember the exact name), and after... > change / install

Hello.
I have such a problem.
when I go to structures and I insert pillars, this gives me only a metal profile and not the one in c.a. Rectangular.
I ask to load the family, but it does not find any rfa and adsk files.
How can I solve this?
in advance to those who answer me.

in the location indicated by alfredo exists that folder "libraries"?

 

[Sole78]

Yes, the folder is there!
inside there is the folder "generic" and inside the file "place_holder" of 0 kb.

 

[Tristan]

you probably installed the software without internet connection. follow this procedure to install the contents:https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp...vit-templates-and-families-not-installed.html

 

[Sole78]

Hello, thank you for the indication.
I tried as indicated, but does not install the libraries. in fact in the folder there are no files.
I don't know what to do at this point.
I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the software, but nothing.
possible that it is a problem related to the educational version?

excluded. is the pc connected to the internet?

Yes, it was always connected to the internet, with antivirus and firewalls disabled.

 

[Sole78]

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I don't know how to do this anymore!

good evening, I am new in the forum and I was looking through the discussions just this problem not to create redundant discussions, I tried to download the file that tristan recommended but I can't, someone can help me kindly?

 

[Tristan]

Have you tried this yet?https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp...vit-templates-and-families-not-installed.html

 

[Ielenio]

Yes, I tried to repair it through that procedure but nothing, then I reinstalled it all leaving the connection enabled and I managed to get some libraries like windows doors etc., but now I do not find the structural libraries such as plinths and similar, I will certainly miss something, unfortunately I am not very practical of revit, I am approaching the software these days.

 

[Tristan]

libraries are downloaded locally in c:\programdata\autodesk\rvt 2016\libraries. inside this folder you should have a "italy" folder which in turn contains folders divided by category including structural foundations, structural armor forms, structural pillars, structural frame etc...
Do you understand?
