How to add your knowledge

Documentation Settings in Revit.ini

    In the Revit.ini file, settings in the [Documentation] section control where Revit accesses help files, and how it displays help. See Online Help.

    HelpBrowser

    Specifies the preferred web browser for viewing online help.

    Type = integer

    Valid values: 0 = Use your system default browser (default). 1 = Use Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    HelpFileLocation

    Specifies the location of offline help files.

    NOTE: To use this setting, UseHelpServer must be set to 0.

    Type = string

    Default = C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2013\Program\Help\en-US\WBH\contents.html

    OnlineHelpLocale

    Specifies the locale (language) to use for online help.

    For example, even though you installed the French version of the Revit software, you can specify that you want to access the English version of the online help.

    NOTE: This setting applies only to the WikiHelp that is available for online users. It does not affect the language for the locally stored help files accessed when you are working offline.

    Type = string

    Default = the language code for your installed software, such as enu or fra.

    OnlineHelpServer

    Specifies the location of the web-based help server for online help.

    If you prefer not to use the default WikiHelp, you can point to online help located at some other network location. Specify the URL or web-based help server.

    NOTE: To use this setting, UseHelpServer must be set to 1.

    Type = string

    Default = http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/

    UseHelpServer

    Determines whether Revit accesses online help or offline help when you press F1 or click a Help button from the software.

    Type = integer

    Valid values: 0 = offline help. 1 = online help (default)
