You may have curated the perfect content library for your firm, but you cannot prevent your users from going into their own stash and using their favorite families. Using self-created rules, you can now assign Approved Content Sources for your users. Guardian will caution, and even prevent, users when they try to import content from non-preapproved sources
Firms and projects spend a tremendous amount of time and money creating and maintaining Revit family libraries that align with the firm’s standards and BIM infrastructure at large. Too many times these standards are undermined when end-users load Revit families from location other than the firm’s library. Guardian’s Approved Content Sources does exactly as its name implies, it ensures Revit families are being sourced from the firm’s libraries and discourages families from unknown sources.
Create rule-based file locations for Guardian to determine where approved content is permitted from.
Approved Content Sources provides the ability for Guardian to respond differently to incoming families for from approved versus non-approved sources; such as enacting Project Properties when the family comes from a non-approved source by turning off Project Properties for content inserted from the firm’s content management solution.
If the incoming families are determined to be loaded from non-approved content sources, Guardian will provide the end-user a Command Message as determined by the set Protection Mode.
