MasterKey for Revit - Linking to Masterspec

MasterKey delivers keynotes to Revit sourced from NextGen2 specifications. To enable this you must link the specification to the Revit project.

In this tutorial we assume you have already logged into MasterKey and the MasterKey palette is docked in the Project Browser Properties palette.

Linking to Masterspec - click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

When you first open a new Revit project you'll notice that along the top bar by default the project will not have been assigned a NextGen2 specification.

To assign the project to a specification, expand the Masterspec specification library.

You will see a list of all the specifications your practice has on the NextGen2 server including

  • the one’s currently being edited
  • those set as complete
  • the specifications that are archived
