Click on the Project Info icon in the App Menu to get started.
You can fill out all aspects of the Project this RVT file is associated with including Name, Location, Project Type, Jurisdiction, and Description. You can also select the proper code for each discipline that this project is utilizing.
The Project information you’ve entered here will be also copied into the Revit Project Information feature for this particular RVT file and can be shared with others on your design team.

Updating your project building codes automatically updates the linked schedule in Revit, streamlining your workflow and reducing the risk of errors in your documentation.
Once you save your information, the Project Information feature will automatically create a Revit schedule documenting your Project’s building, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire and energy codes.
