GoogleSync: Haven't tried it, but if you can have a drive letter mapping to it, it should work in theory. The interesting bit may be the creation of the *.lok files and such as you edit the database....

RF Tools pays for itself the first time you batch load 40 shared parameters into a family to make your custom AHU schedule work. I prefer to never be without it.

And now my little typers hurt :p

It has been generally accepted practice that a multi-user operation would want an always available shared location for the database files. However, if you keep it local (with the appropriate safety...

For all the viewers watching at home, What's a CID? It's the base template for the creation of regular content, kind of like a hard-coded family template or family category.

Yes - the networked shared database will be available from year to year so long as you create the additional local files and copy the map.ini file from the previous year (cause it's already filled...

A configuration folder must at minimum exist in each year's folder and must...

For the most part, the FAB database is intended to remain year-agnostic in practice. One database should be read for all versions. However, since Revit ships with a version of the database with every...

The FAB database has materials as it pertains to the ITM, but it does not appear to have any connection to the ADSK materials library. In Revit, you can change the category material in Object...
