LucidLink highly recommends setting a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path as the Filespace mount point for users integrating Revit into their workflows. This guideline is essential for ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to configure this setting.
Steps to Set a UNC Path as a Mount Point
- Determine the network location where your LucidLink Filespace should be mounted.
-
As a Filespace administrator, configure a mount point using UNC Path:
- Open the LucidLink desktop application.
- Navigate to "Control panel" > "Global defaults".
- In the "Windows mount point" section, click "Edit".
- Enter the UNC path corresponding to your network location, typically in the format ”\\lucid\filespace;L:”.
-
Configure Revit to use the new mount point:
- Open Revit and go to the file handling settings.
- Update the file paths to point to the newly created UNC path mount point in LucidLink.
-
Test the configuration:
- Try accessing a Revit project stored in LucidLink through the new UNC path mount point.
- Ensure that the files open correctly and that performance is as expected.
