Quick Start: Publish your first sheet set

Publish your Revit sheets to Motif in minutes. This guide walks you through installing the plugin and sending your first sheet set to a Motif board — the starting point for sheet review, markup, and real-time collaboration with your team.

Before you start

Make sure you have the following before opening Revit:

• A Motif account. Don't have one yet? See📄 Sign up for Motif

• Revit version 2024, 2025, or 2026 with the Motif plugin installed (see Step 1 below)

💡 The plugin must be installed before you open Revit. If Revit is already running, install the plugin and then relaunch.

Step 1 — Install the Motif plugin

1. Download the latest Motif Plugins Installer from motif.io/plugins-installer. (You can also find the download link in the Help text of the Publish | Receive tab inside Motif, or via the overflow menu in the top-right corner of your board.)

2. Locate the downloaded file MotifPluginsSetup and double-click it to run the installer.

3. The installer automatically detects your installed versions of Revit. Click Next to proceed.

4. Once installed, open (or relaunch) Revit.

💡 Staying up to date: When a plugin update is available, you'll see an orange dot in the Motif plugin menu. Keep your plugin updated to access the latest features.

Step 2 — Open the Motif panel in Revit

1. Open your Revit project.

2. In Revit, navigate to the Motif tab in the top ribbon.

3. Click Show Motif to open the plugin panel.

Step 3 — Sign in to Motif

In the Motif plugin panel, click Sign In. A browser tab will open with sign-in instructions. Complete sign-in and return to Revit — the panel will confirm you're logged in.

Step 4 — Select your project and board

In the plugin panel, use the dropdowns to choose:

• The Project you want to publish to

• The Board within that project

💡Choose "none" from the project picker to automatically publish to a new Motif project and board.

Step 5 — Choose what to publish

1. Select View/Sheet Set as your content type.

2. From the dropdown, choose an existing sheet set, or click Edit Sets to define a new one.

3. In the Edit Sets dialog, give your set a name and add the sheets and views you want to include.

4. Choose a resolution for your sheets:

💡 Want to rename your asset? Use the three-dot menu next to the asset name to rename it now. You won't be able to rename it after it's been published.

Step 6 — Publish your sheet set

Click Publish to send your sheet set to the board.

⚠ Refresh your browser after publishing — your sheets will appear on the board once the page reloads.

⚠Streaming is available for 3D models only. Sheet sets are always published as a static snapshot. To update sheets on the board, re-publish from the plugin using the Update Sheet Set dropdown.

You're in Motif! What's next?

Your sheets are now live on your board. Here's what you can do next:

• 📄 Navigate the canvasand inspect your sheet set directly in the browser

• 📄 Invite others to your organization or projectto review and comment

• 📄 Sketch, markup, and commenton sheets using Motif's sketching and annotation tools — comments sync back to Revit via the plugin
