First Launch

3. First Launch

After installation, open Revit and open any project document (not a family file).

Finding the BlenderSync ribbon tab

A BlenderSync tab will appear in the Revit ribbon. The tab contains three panels:

Panel Buttons
Settings License, Beta, Setup, Report Issue, About
Sync Changes, Selected, Capture
LiveSync Start / Stop

When the add-in loads successfully, the Revit status bar shows:

BlenderSync ready

If this message does not appear, see Troubleshooting.

What is available before activating a license

Several commands are always available, with no license required:

  • License — open the License window to activate or manage your license
  • Beta — open the Beta access window
  • Report Issue — send a bug report to support
  • About — view the add-in version and product links

The following commands are visually disabled until a valid license is active:

  • Setup, Changes, Selected, Capture, Start, Stop

Session logs

Each time Revit starts, BlenderSync writes a new session log to:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\GoThereSoftware\BsyncRevit\Logs\

Log files are named bsync-revit-<date>-<time>-<session-id>.log. The three most recent session logs are kept; older ones are deleted automatically at startup.
