Overview - Models and Projects

Modified on Tue, 17 Oct, 2023 at 1:48 PM

Most real world projects consist of multiple Revit files, which Revit refers to as “projects”. Kinship calls these Revit files models and allows them to be grouped together into Projects for easier management.

Most real world projects will be comprised of multiple Revit models; Kinship allows multiple Revit models to be grouped together and managed as one project.


When a new model is added to Kinship it will attempt to place the model into the correct project by using information such as the name of the model, or the cenral file location.

A model is registered with Kinship the first time that a Synchronize with Central is performed for it and it meets the conditions to join. See Registering Models in Kinship for a detailed discussion on these conditions.


Once a model is part of the Kinship system anyone who does a SwC with that model will be added to the team of that model and the project that it is a part of.


Models in Kinship can be viewed by anyone who is a registered user for that site unless the project is marked as Private. A private project may only be viewed by the members of its team and administrators. See Restricted Projects for more details on this topic.
