Now that the contest excitement is over, we can focus on other ways to build the Revit Market catalog. So here’s what I have in mind:

Revit Market is now offering pre-certification. This means that we check your families first, and publish only the ones that pass certification. For the rest, we’ll send you notes on what needs to be fixed.

I know you have a bunch of families hanging around your hard drive, and when you get around to it, you’ll clean them up and publish them. I know this is time-consuming, and that you’re busy.

So let us do the work for you! You’ll get some families published, plus you’ll have a tidy list of what needs to be fixed in the others.

Pre-Certification is intended for libraries of 50 or more families, but I’m open to offers. Let me know what I can do for you.

Recently, some of you reported difficulties in editing assets, where you got an error when trying to save. The good news is, the error has been fixed. The bad news is, any edits you’ve made have been lost.

• All your published assets are still there, but any unsaved edits are gone. You can simply re-edit the item and save it.
• All files in My Files are still there.
• Any items in Drafts need to be removed from the Drafts folder. You’ll need to start the publishing process for these over again. All the files in My Files are still there, though, so it’s a simple matter of starting the publishing process and choosing the file again.

If you try to publish an asset and it’s giving you trouble, remove it from Drafts and start again. As always, please let me know if you run into any trouble.

I greatly appreciate your reporting bugs to me, and helping us make Revit Market as useful as possible. Your feedback is what makes it happen, so keep it coming!
