Transitioning from Legacy Sheets

Last updated: June 26, 2026

We've upgraded sheet sets in Motif!

  • Sheets can now be ungrouped and rearranged more flexibly

  • Smarter markups stick to sheets and transform with them

  • You can measure to scale on any view placed on a sheet

Sheets you published before the upgrade still work — they're labeled Legacy — and this article explains how to bring them up to date.


Your legacy sheets keep working

Legacy sheet sets stay on your boards and keep functioning, with their comments and markups intact. You can add them from the asset library, move and scale them, and view, reply to, resolve, and add comments. They simply won't gain the new sheet features.

There's no forced upgrade. If you're on the previous Revit plugin, it keeps working unchanged, and re-publishing from it stays legacy.

Moving a legacy set to the new format

The updated Motif plugin publishes new-format sheets only, so it can't update a legacy set in place. To use the new features:

  • Update your Motif Plugin to the latest version

  • Open your project in Revit and launch the Motif plugin

  • Publish the set as a new sheet set.

Publish new sheet sets from Revit to unlock new sheets capabilities.

This adds a new, up-to-date sheet set to your Motif project. Your legacy set isn't changed or removed — it stays in Motif with its comments and markups until you delete it. Once you've confirmed the new set looks right, remove the legacy one to avoid duplicates.

Legacy sheet sets will have a distinctive badge in both the Asset Library and when placed on a board.

New sheet sets have no badge, but they display the sheet set name and have a configurable color fill background when placed in a board.
