Content Portal
The Content Portal provides a streamlined way to access new and updated EVOLVE content directly within the Revit environment. With just a few clicks, users can download content for immediate use—no external browsing required.
Accessing the Content Portal
You can open the Content Portal from two locations within Revit:
- From the Ribbon:
Navigate to the eVolve Electrical tab → Resources panel → Click Content Portal.

- From the Family Browser:
Click the Content Portal button (to the left of the Load Favorites button).

Portal Layout & Content Types
When opened, the Content Portal displays available content in a clean, grid-based layout. Each row represents a downloadable content package.

Standard Content Categories Include:
- Family Libraries (includes families not bundled with the installer and early-access versions of upcoming content updates)
- EVOLVE Sample Files
- EVOLVE Reports
Each content entry includes:
- A description
- Uploaded date
- (Optional) Help Link
- (Optional) Version number
Clicking an entry will expand a sub-grid showing:
- Individual file names
- Brief descriptions for each item
Downloading Content
To download any package, click the Download button in the content row.
When downloading a Family Library, EVOLVE will place its contents directly into your custom library directory.
- If a custom path has not been set, you’ll be prompted to choose one.
- After download, all families in the library become immediately available in the Family Browser.
Automatic Configuration Loading
If the downloaded library includes a Global Configuration file:
- Any EVOLVE utility configurations (like Parameter Sync rules) will be automatically loaded.
- This means newly downloaded families will be fully functional out of the box, without any additional setup.
Downloading Other Content Types
Content packages not classified as a Family Library (e.g., sample files, raw Revit content) are downloaded to a user-specified directory.
- These are treated as standard files.
- You’re free to use, move, or modify them as needed.
