Request an iGUIDE RVT Floor Plan
How to request an iGUIDE RVT floor plan, for Autodesk Revit, during or after iGUIDE creation.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Before submitting your iGUIDE
On the iGUIDE Creation page, reach Choose your iGUIDE Package.
Select Premium.
Under Paid Add-ons, select the Revit RVT checkbox.
After reading the message, select Enable.
After reading the message, decide whether to request your RVT now or later.
If now, select your preferred unit of measurement and then press Request RVT.
If later (after your iGUIDE is finished), select Not Yet.
Complete the remaining steps on the iGUIDE Creation page.
After your iGUIDE is finished
On My iGUIDEs, find the iGUIDE you're looking for.
Click iGUIDE Details.
Scroll down to find Packages & Add-ons in the menu on the left side of your screen (Refer to figure 1).
If you can't enable Revit RVT under Paid Add-ons, you might first need to upgrade your iGUIDE to Premium by Requesting an Update.
Find the blue "Edit" button underneath the iGUIDE Package Info section, and select the Revit RVT file, and then click the "Request" button to request the DWG file.
Note: The Drafting Team can only begin working on your RVT model after your Premium iGUIDE is finished. Once your RVT model has been completed by the Drafting Team, you will receive an automated email notification which includes a link to download your new RVT file. You can redownload the RVT again at any time on your iGUIDE's RVT page.
