Revit Model Performance and User Analytics

Q: Do I need to exit or click away from Revit to use Project Central?

No! Project Central works within Revit, meaning you can access the valuable data directly from the platform while you work.

Q: If I’m in Project Central and see something concerning that an end-user is doing (or not doing), what are my options?

From Project Central, you can access our Messages function to send a note directly to the project team or the firm, directly through Revit. You can also adjust the protection mode and customized messages on User Commands to guide users to follow your firm's Revit standards.
