Command Messages

Feature Description:

For many features and protections, Guardian provides a custom message that will be displayed when the end-user performs Revit commands associated with those features and protections. This allows the Company/Project Administrator to assist the end-users in real-time by tailoring a message about best practices and/or potential risk associated with specific Revit commands. The Command Messages can be customized with rich-text, images, and even links to learning resources.

Why You Need This Feature:

Being able to provide the “Why” and the “How” to properly utilize specific Revit commands is central to Guardian as a whole. We believe communication is central to education and adoption of company best practices and standards. And, thus, Command Messages allows you, the Company or Project Administrator to create messages in your own voice and style.

How to Customize This Feature:

Each Guardian feature that utilizes Command Messages comes pre-loaded with messages and hyperlinks to Autodesk Knowledge resources (where applicable). But each of these Command Messages can be customized within the settings of each feature.

Within the message editor, the text font, size, color, style, and formatting can be customized. Hyperlinks can also be added into the message, including links for websites, email addresses, and folder locations. The desired link type can be added in the HyperLink dialog.  

Images can be added by pasting the images into the message window.
