During the recent workshop at my Midwest offices visit, this same question was raised many times during the discussion. “Should we be downloading and using content from other websites for our project? If so, how do we know they are “okay” to use?”
Revit content has always been a popular topic throughout the years. Although many manufacturers have caught up with providing content for designers to use, they are not created equally. When the occasion arises where I need to “use” the content that I find from any website, I always go through this set of rules to vet the content. Below are the criteria I use to make my own assessment whether the downloaded content is good before I decide to make my own.
