How to Manually Enable Enscape Custom Asset Support in the RPC for Revit Plugin

If you're using our RPC for Revit plugin and want to make ArchVision custom Enscape Assets visible in the Enscape Custom Asset Library, you’ll need to manually update a configuration file.

Follow the steps below to enable Enscape Asset support:

📁 Step 1: Locate the Configuration File

The configuration file is located at:

C:\Program Files\ArchVision\Revit Plug-in\2025\DragAndDrop\AVCommon.dll.config

⚠️ Note: You may need administrator permissions to modify this file.

✏️ Step 2: Edit the Config File

1. Right-click AVCommon.dll.config and choose Open with > Notepad (or your preferred text editor).

2. Find the following line in the file:

   <setting name="EnableJsonOutputForEnscapeAssets" serializeAs="String">
       <value>True</value>
   </setting>

3. Change the value from False to True, like this:

   <setting name="EnableJsonOutputForEnscapeAssets" serializeAs="String">
   <value>True</value>
   </setting>

💾 Step 3: Save the File

• Save the file and close the text editor.

• Restart Revit (and Enscape if it was open) for the changes to take effect.

✅ What This Does

Setting EnableJsonOutputForEnscapeAssets to True allows the plugin to generate JSON output that Enscape uses to recognize and display our custom assets in the Enscape Custom Asset Library.

If the value remains False, our Enscape assets will not appear in the Enscape Custom Asset Library.
