Open Model Folder - Direct access to the active model directory

Open Model Folder provides an immediate jump from the model currently open in Revit to its physical folder in Windows. It is a simple utility, but very useful for teams that constantly work with related files, deliverables, and backups.

General Description

The add-in detects the location of the active model and opens that folder directly in File Explorer. This avoids manual navigation through long paths and speeds up coordination, deliverable review, and access to linked resources.

Key Features

• One-click access: Opens the folder of the active model immediately.
• Windows Explorer integration: Takes the user to the real file directory.
• Operational support: Helps find PDFs, DWGs, backups, and linked files faster.
• Basic validation: Warns when the active model does not have a valid directory.

Usage Procedure

1. Open Open Model Folder from the Frata Tools tab.
2. Wait for Windows Explorer to open in the current model folder.
3. Use that location to review related files or prepare deliverables.
4. If the model has no valid directory, verify where it is stored first.
