1. Update OmniClass Taxonomy File

You would like to assign OmniClass numbers using the 2012 standards but are not able to because
the default file shipped with Revit provides numbers from the previous standard.
Symptom: When trying to assign OmniClass 2012 numbers in the family editor the numbers
supplied from the table are incorrect.
Issue: The OmniClassTaxonomy.txt file installed with Revit is an older version of the table. The
file installed with Revit needs to be replaced with the updated OmniClassTaxonomy.txt file which
can be downloaded here. (http://www.autodesk.com/omniclasstaxonomy)
Note: The AppData folder is a hidden folder, so you need to first enable the viewing of
the hidden folders on your system before performing the procedure.
1. Navigate to C:\Users\<current user
name>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\REVIT\<product name and release>
Example: "C:\Users\<DoeJ>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\REVIT\Autodesk Revit
2015".
2. Rename existing "OmniClassTaxonomy.txt" to "OmniClassTaxonomy_bak.txt".
3. Copy the downloaded file to this location. Repeat this process for each user on
this local machine.
4. In addition, copy the file to the following location. This step ensures that any
new future users of this computer will get the updated file.
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\<product abbreviation>\UserDataCache Example:
"C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2015\UserDataCache.

5. Repeat process for each Revit product installed (RAC, RME, RST....) as needed.
Note: When using the updated OmniClass file, category sorting is not available. You
must manually navigate to the correct category to assign an OmniClass number.
