Revit Architecture 2010 dropped the link to the Autodesk Content Distribution Center. How can I get additional Revit Families for things like doors, windows, light fixtures, furniture, etc?
A18. You are still able to get to these useful families, but you will need to go directly to the web site http://revit.autodesk.com/library/html/ . I would recommend that when you get into the library, you pick the Revit Architecture 2009 Library, then US Library, then Families. If what you are looking for is not found there, you could select the “Archived Libraries” on this same page, of which there are three: 8.1, 9.0 and Architecture 2008. Most of these same Families were brought over to the Architecture 2009 Library, however, with even more added. Another source for content is the new new “Autodesk Seek” web site which you can get to if you click on the Spy glass in the upper right portion of Revit, called “Content Search Online.” This takes you to a web site at http://seek.autodesk.com/?prodid=Revit:Architecture:2009:en Note that there are very few Revit models in the Seek content yet, but eventually will be more. They are mostly AutoCAD drawings. A very good source for additional
