Update a placed instance of a product variant in the model by configuring a replacement variation, and later find it in the Families folder.

Once a product definition has been loaded into Revit,
00:06
you can easily configure replacement variations for any already placed instances of Informed Design Revit families.
00:15
In this way, you can try multiple variants directly in the Revit model view.
00:21
In this example, a Revit house model already has an Inventor product definition for a staircase assembly generated and inserted.
00:30
Now, you can try some variations and see the results.
00:34
Select the inserted product definition instance, in this case, the staircase.
00:40
Navigate to the Informed Design tab, and then select Replace.
00:45
The Customization Form appears, displaying the current configuration values.
00:51
You can modify these values to configure the replacement and see the changes to the selected instance directly in the view.
00:59
For this staircase example, in the Customization Form, scroll down and set LeftRail to False, and then click Apply.
01:08
A new version is generated in the cloud,
01:11
and the selected instance is replaced in the view.
01:14
Note that a new version of the variant in the Revit family is also created.
01:19
In the Project Browser, expand the Families folder to locate the definition.
01:25
In this example, open Specialty Equipment to see that the new variant ID-Staircase_1 has been created.
01:33
From the Properties window for the staircase assembly,
01:36
you can expand the Specialty Equipment family and switch back to the original instance,
01:41
or switch to any variation that you created.
