Adding an eTransmit Location

An eTransmit location is a location in the advanced integration project that is linked to some destination folder where you can send Revit project files (RVT) in your project using the eTransmit command. The eTransmit location can be a folder on the local file system, in a ProjectWise datasource, or in the ProjectWise Share portal of a ProjectWise project. You can add as many eTransmit locations to your project as you need, in case you need to send your Revit files to more than one location.

Create an eTransmit Location Linked to a Folder in a ProjectWise Datasource

  1. Right-click your project in the ProjectWise browser and select Add eTransmit Location > ProjectWise.
    Tip: You can also right-click your project and select Create Location, then in the Create Location dialog, set Role to eTransmit Location and click the ProjectWise button.
  2. In the Select the folder to link dialog, select a work area or folder (where the eTransmitted files will be stored) and click OK.
    Note: The Select the folder to link dialog opens to the current datasource, which is the datasource that your project is stored in. If needed, you can select a folder from another datasource by selecting another datasource from the Folders list and logging in when prompted. Whichever datasource you use, you can either select an existing work area or folder, or you can right-click in the dialog to create a new work area or folder.
  3. In the Create Location dialog, click OK.

The eTransmit location is added to the project in the ProjectWise browser. You can now use the eTransmit command on individual RVT files in your Work in progress folder, to send the RVT file to the eTransmit location. (see eTransmitting)

Note: If you want to assign an environment mapping (a Revit-to-ProjectWise attribute mapping definition) to this location, see Configuring Attribute Mapping.

Create an eTransmit Location Linked to a Folder in ProjectWise Share

  1. Make sure this project is associated to a ProjectWise project. (see Associate a Project to a ProjectWise Project)
  2. Next, right-click your project in the ProjectWise browser and select Add eTransmit Location > Share.
    Tip: You can also right-click your project and select Create Location, then in the Create Location dialog, set Role to eTransmit Location and click the Share button.
  3. In the Select ProjectWise Share Folder dialog, expand the top folder (the name of the ProjectWise project), then select a subfolder (where the eTransmitted files will be stored) and click OK.
    Note: In the Select ProjectWise Share Folder dialog, you can either select an existing folder, or you can right-click in the dialog to create a new folder. The only folder you cannot select is the top folder (which is the root of the ProjectWise Share portal of this ProjectWise project).
  4. In the Create Location dialog, click OK.

The eTransmit location is added to the project in the ProjectWise browser. You can now use the eTransmit command on individual RVT files in your Work in progress folder, to send the RVT file to the eTransmit location. (see eTransmitting)

Create an eTransmit Location Linked to a Local or Network Folder

  1. Right-click your project in the ProjectWise browser and select Add eTransmit Location > File System.
    Note: You can also right-click your project and select Create Location, then in the Create Location dialog, set Role to eTransmit Location and click the File System button.
  2. In the Browse For Folder dialog, select a local or network folder (where the eTransmitted files will be stored) and click OK.
  3. In the Create Location dialog, click OK.

The eTransmit location is added to the project in the ProjectWise browser. You can now use the eTransmit command on individual RVT files in your Work in progress folder, to send the RVT file to the eTransmit location. (see eTransmitting)

eTransmit Location Settings

SettingDescription
Name Sets the display name for this location in the ProjectWise browser in Revit. The location name defaults to the name of the selected linked folder, but you can change the location name if needed.
Role Must be set to eTransmit Location for this type of location.
Bind to The Bind to menu shows which repository type is selected (ProjectWise, Share, or File System), and the Path field below it shows the path to the selected linked folder in that repository. For example:

ProjectWise datasource work area or folder path - pw:\\servername:datasourcename\Documents\Revit eTransmit Location

ProjectWise Share folder path - ProjectWise Share\Home\Revit eTransmit Location

Local or network folder path - C:\Revit eTransmit Location

Environment (ProjectWise only)

Shows the name of the environment that is assigned to the selected linked work area or folder (if it has no environment, this field displays <none>).

Populate the location with bound content When on (default), a link to each document that currently exists in (or later gets added or eTransmitted to) the destination folder will be added under this location in the project.
