Default File Locations

Add-in manifest and program files

The add-in manifest and its program files are installed under the standard Autodesk add-in location for each supported Revit version:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[version]\
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[version]\PerformanceBIM\

The .addin manifest sits in the version folder; the add-in assemblies and the parameter mapping file are installed in the PerformanceBIM subfolder, which is shared by all Performance BIM add-ins.

Parameter mapping file

The shared-parameter mapping that tells the add-in how to recognize linesets is installed alongside the program files:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\[version]\PerformanceBIM\RiggingParameterSettings.json

See Parameter Mapping for what this file contains and when you might need it.

Rigging families

Performance Rigging does not install rigging families. Linesets are family instances that already exist in your model (or in your office library) and carry the shared parameters the add-in looks for. See Linesets for the required parameters.

User settings

User settings — including the verbose-logging preference and the dismissed update version — are stored per user in the standard Windows application settings location:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Performance_BIM\

These settings persist across sessions and apply to all projects for that user.

Log file

A log file is written to:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Performance BIM\PerformanceRigging.log

This file can be useful when troubleshooting issues or reporting problems to support. See Logging for how to enable verbose detail.
