OOTB copied(moved, for some CPUs & Revit versions) to: "Q:\KAI RVT20##\OOTB\"
KAI custom path (pre-2018): "Q:\KAI RVT20##\Imperial Library\"
KAI custom path (2018+): "Q:\KAI RVT20##\Library\" (since Metric and JIS families are included in the same folders)[1]
Custom folder structure should "replicate" the OOTB naming structure (used folders only) so that users can quickly understand and navigate both libraries, but with the possible limitation of 3 levels deep[2] max (to increase efficiency).
TIP: Use the Add-In: pyRevit > [Modify] > Edit > Change Element Type Safely to fix duplicate families that get loaded (with "1" suffix, etc.).
Delete backup files (if 3rd line left in) and save list of Revit family files to a text file. Put it in "Q:\KAI RVT2018\Library\" (for example) and run it.

deletes all backup files (including read-only), including all subdirectories
NOTE: It's better to delete this line (just verify that there are no backup files in the created list by searching for ".0") as there may be some files that are NOT backup files that meet that criteria (such as Q:\KAI RVT202#\Library\Titleblocks\Clients\Arch D (24x36) AHL - 4810.01 (Longs CVS) (R20).rfa)
TIP: Use *.0???.r[fv][at] for the Filter in Beyond Compare (see File Masks) to see only backup files w/o the false positives, like shortcuts and the above.

same as previous, but match both Revit family AND model files (there are some example files in our family library). Using "findstr" (Ignoring case, matching at End of file, "\" to escape the "." otherwise it's not literally matched, see Findstr command examples and regular expressions) allows both types of files to appear together, where they occur (vs. repeating the previous line for *.rvt, which would make a separate list).

TestUpgrade Add-In
Takes "Upgrade_list_rfa.txt" or similar as input (generated by "Upgrade_RFA.bat" above, or any text list with one full file path per line).
NOTE: If Thumbnail Preview > Source: "Active view/sheet", no preview is generated upon save (since the API calls used actually open the files in the background, there IS no active view). Therefore, the Add-In sets it explicitly IF there is only one view (which is adequate for most Annotation Symbols and Detail Components). Check the *.log file for a "Preview ID" of "-1" that wasn't changed (a ">" with another number indicates the view it was changed to, if any), and manually set the view for those files by doing a Save As (for future upgrades).
TODO: Determine default view and use that, or check if only one Sheet (for .rvt) and use that, or use 3D? [low priority, since once they're all set, it won't matter going forward]
TODO: Dialog (similar to Purge Unused) to select which files to upgrade (and so .bat and .txt files aren't needed).
WISH: Determine file version before upgrade (log, filter by, etc.).
TODO: Post on the App Store.
CAUTION: If you have multiple versions running, the "Select List of Families" dialog seems to remember the previous path ACROSS versions (not separately for each version), so be sure you're picking the correct text file with the correct path.

#3840.02 Kinnick - beam schedule experiment; started w/ Imperial version, then copied to Metric, but have been developing Metric more (so should copy back if Imperial needed (see "...NOTES.txt" for changes); created Generic Annotation sub-families in "Beam Schedule Cell GA families" subfolder (might not be maintaining),19[5]; upgraded 2016 to 2018 (and continued to develop, see below); TODO: check line wrap (due to 2017 Text size change); TODO: experiment with Annotation Symbols instead (so can click in fields to edit, instead of using Properties only); TODO: Dynamo?/Add-In? to link Structural Framing w/ corresponding DCs?; CAUTION: not sure if any changes were made to families in Kinnick project without saving back to folder (irrelevant if ASs created instead); TODO: fix snapping (slightly taller extents? causes borders to be not coincident if not aligned carefully) TODO: Make "D" not hardcoded... (can combine Metric & Imperial families? TODO: add Kinnick's QC Schedule to "_Blank...rvt"? NOTE: used for 6122 Kadena Canopy by EC 11/29/22 (& others previously) - shows some other odd conditions (lap in middle of bottom w/ squiggle @ ends, hook up bottom ends, etc.)
from #3533.03 "SENTRY ALOHA - Base File.rvt"; [TODO: fix plan swing (post isn't fixed to fence line, but worked fine in original project...); type names don't match dimensions]; doesn't need Wall to host...[TODO: find out why/how]; see also Site\Chainlink_Fence_5110.rfa

draw so horizontal "Center (Front/Back)" Ref. Plane is at the bottom of the deck {for deck}
draw centered on vertical "Center (Left/Right)" Ref. Plane {for deck}?
{for deck} (how repeating profile is drawn):
pattern (Profile) is drawn starting at the left edge in the section
cut and beyond have different start points (if the edge jogs), so rib locations may not be consistent
concrete cantilever is superimposed on top of the profile (so it can't be used to adjust where the profile starts)
slab edge profile is vertical along a slope
deck profile is sloped [TODO: a proper comparison]

Downloaded for #5994.10. There appear to be some older (R2017) versions of the same families in the (largely R2018) zip that vary slightly (in sub zips, "-" vs "_" in names, "-1" suffix) that were moved to maybe older-obsolete subfolder. PDF also downloaded. Shortcuts to website included in folder.
centered along "Center (Front/Back)" Ref. Plane and Ref. Level:
Extrusion (why not a Sweep? does it matter? family based on Extrusion still does curves & doesn't need Profile - i.e. is simpler) (ends at "Member Left" and "Member Right"; visible in all Medium & Fine)
"Stick Symbols [projection]" Line (ends at "Stick Symbol Left" & "Stick Symbol Right"; visible in Coarse "Plan/RCP" & "Front/Back")
↑Don't use "Q:\KAI RVT20##\Libraries\US Imperial\", etc., because having separate folder structures would sometimes require navigating to two folders (when there's no metric version), and it's not usually necessary to have a true metric version of each family - just change the values in the Type Properties.
