      What AVAIL software needs to be installed?

      Your RPC Plan requires AVAIL Desktop and, for Revit at least, the AVAIL Browser Plugin.

      The AVAIL Desktop:

      In order for you to download and drag and drop content into your modeling program, you need both AVAIL Desktop and most likely an AVAIL Browser plugin for your modeling program. Let's start with getting AVAIL Desktop set up.

      Download and Install AVAIL Desktop:

      2. Once you have download AVAIL Desktop you can double click the EXE file to start the installation process.
      3. Select Run from the Security Warning dialog box if it pops up.

      5. AVAIL will now install.
      6. Once AVAIL has finished installing you can choose Launch to open AVAIL.
      7. When AVAIL launches for the first time you will be prompted to Sign In. Choose the option, Sign In with ArchVision.
