Before deleting a Revit model, it's crucial to ensure you have an archived version for backup and future reference. You must also possess the necessary access permissions to delete models from Revit Server. Here's how you delete a model:
Steps to Delete a Revit Model from Revit Server:
-
Open the Revit Server Administrator: This is your primary tool for managing Revit Server models.
-
Navigate to the Model: In the tree control on the left side of the Revit Server Administrator, locate and select the model you wish to delete.
-
Initiate the Deletion: Once the model is selected, click the Delete button.
Important Considerations:
- Permissions: Ensure you have the correct permissions to delete models within the Revit Server Administrator. Contact your Revit Server administrator if you lack the necessary privileges.
- Backup: Always create an archived copy of the model before deleting it. This safeguards against accidental loss of data. Store the archived copy in a secure location.
- Collaboration: Inform your team members before deleting a model, especially if it's a workshared project. Ensure no one is actively working on the model.
- Local Copies: Remind team members to delete their local copies of the central model after it has been deleted from the server to avoid confusion.
- Deleted models cannot be recovered. This action is PERMANENT.
