ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for Revit

Disable/Enable Dynamic Updates Commands

On startup, the ARCHIBUS Extension for Revit gets notifications on changes to:

When the BIM modeler changes any element of one of the above types, if the element has an “Asset Table” parameter, the ARCHIBUS Extension for Revit will catalog that element to automatically synch the items area, parameter values, building, floor, and room location with the database. In this way, the data in the model and in the database stays in synch.

However, when you are making bulk changes to a model, you may wish to turn the dynamic update feature off to speed these manipulations. You may also wish to make putative changes that you can undo or abandon. If you disable the dynamic updates, you can make these changes without affecting the ARCHIBUS database.

You can use the Disable/Enable Dynamic Updates commands to stop and restart these dynamic model updates. Each command presents a dialog message stating, “Dynamic updates of the ARCHIBUS database as the model changes have been disabled (or enabled, as appropriate)”.
