Upon activating the command, the following settings can be configured to tailor the document opening process to specific needs.

• Local copy folder :

  Local copy folder :

  Define the default local directory where the local copies of the files will be stored if 'Detach' is disabled. This ensures that all operations remain centralized in a user-specified location, enhancing file management.

• Documents for opening :

  Documents for opening :

  Specify the list of documents to be opened. Each document can be configured with specific options such as path, detachment, and workset pattern.

• Model filepath :

  Model filepath :

  Provide the file path for each document to be opened. This path points to the location of the file on the local system or network.

• Detach :

  Detach :

  Specifies whether the document should be opened in a detached state, useful for creating a separate copy for testing or backup purposes without affecting the central model.

• Workset pattern :

  Workset pattern :

  Define a pattern to control which worksets are opened when the document is loaded. Patterns are treated as wildcards, allowing for straightforward matching.

• Inverse the workset pattern :

  Inverse the workset pattern :

  If enabled, worksets matching the pattern will be closed instead of opened, allowing for selective visibility of project components.

  If enabled, worksets matching the pattern will be closed instead of opened, allowing for selective visibility of project components.

Workset patterns allow you to specify which worksets should be opened or closed based on their names. The pattern uses wildcards to match multiple workset names and can be inverted to close matching worksets instead.

• Basic Wildcards :

  Basic Wildcards :

  • *: Matches any sequence of characters.
  • ?: Matches any single character.

  These wildcards help in identifying worksets based on common naming conventions.

• Example Patterns :

  Example Patterns :

  • Arch*: Opens all worksets starting with "Arch".
  • *Temp*: Matches any workset containing "Temp" in its name.
  • Structural: Opens the workset exactly named "Structural".

  Use patterns to efficiently manage large models by controlling which worksets are loaded.

• Pattern Inversion :

  Pattern Inversion :

  By enabling "Inverse the workset pattern", you can close worksets that match the pattern instead of opening them. This is useful for hiding temporary or less relevant worksets by default.

After setting up the desired configurations, click the 'Execute' button to start the batch opening process. The documents will be opened in the specified manner, allowing for efficient management and operation.

Upon successful execution, all specified documents will be open in Revit, ready for further actions such as review, editing, or data extraction, based on the predefined settings.
