GPO Requirements for Deploying Revit Interoperabil-
ity
These instructions apply to group policy object (GPO) deployments of Revit
Interoperability components with 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design, Inventor, or
Showcase. The product-specific MSI files are as follows:
■ RXM2014.msi for 3ds Max or 3ds Max Design
■ RXI2014.msi for Inventor
■ RXS2014.msi for Showcase
In addition to the main GPO transform file (gpo.mst), deployments that include
a Revit Interoperability component must include one of the following
product-specific transform files:
■ RXM2014.mst for 3ds Max or 3ds Max Design
■ RXI2014.mst for Inventor
■ RXS2014.mst for Showcase
These MST files are located in the \Img\<processor type>\RX2014 directory.
If the deployment does not install products on the default path (C:\Program
Files\Autodesk) then you must use a tool such as Orca (available with Windows
SDK) to transform the INSTALLDIR property in the Property table.
To change the INSTALLDIR property:
1 Run Orca, and open the Revit Interoperability MSI file for your product
(example: RXI2014.msi for Inventor).
2 Select the Transform menu ➤ New Transform. Orca will track any
changes that you make to the cells in the install tables.
3 With the Property table selected in the left pane, click Tables ➤ Add
Row.
4 Add the INSTALLDIR row to the Property table, and enter the install
path, with a backslash (\) at the end (example: C:\Inventor\).
5 Select Transform ➤ Generate Transform and save the MST file.
