What It Does
Opens a Version History dashboard that shows you every version of geometry you've imported from Rhino into Revit. The dashboard tracks changes automatically — whether you modify the geometry in Rhino and re-import, or edit it directly in Revit.
Key capabilities:
- Version timeline — See when each version was created and where it came from (Rhino or Revit)
- Change detection — Know when geometry has been modified in either platform
- Full traceability — Track which Rhino file and layer each element originated from
How to Use
- Open a Revit Project or Family document
- Find the Senibina-Bridge ribbon
- Click Version History in the Utilities panel
- Select an element from the dropdown to view its version timeline
What You'll See
The dashboard displays:
- Element dropdown — Lists all tracked elements in
filename:layerName (vN)format - Version timeline — Shows the complete history of the selected element
- Source indicator — Each version shows whether it came from Rhino or Revit
Tip: If you re-import geometry, Version History automatically links the new import to the previous version chain.
How Tracking Works
Version History automatically tracks your imported geometry:
- Re-importing from the same source creates a new version in the timeline
- Editing a family in Revit and reloading also creates a new version
- Deleted elements are automatically detected and hidden from the dashboard
Troubleshooting
Dashboard shows no elements
What to do:
- Make sure you've imported geometry using one of the Import commands
- Elements must be imported with Senibina-Bridge to be tracked
- Try importing a new element and check Version History again
Element not appearing after re-import
What to do:
- Verify you're importing from the same .3dm file
- Check that the layer name matches the original import
- The new import should appear with an incremented version number
