Installing the Industrial Hub and Reflect Plug-in

The Industrial Hub is a special version of the Unity Hub that includes Reflect integration plug-ins for other digital content creation tools such as Revit. Outside of this added feature, it isn’t functionally any different than the standard Unity Hub, and may be used in the same ways. Both the standard Hub and the Industrial Hub may be used on the same machine if desired; however, they must be installed in different file directories. In this tutorial, you will be guided through how to install the Industrial Hub and integrate the Reflect plug-in into Autodesk Revit.

• Locate and run the Unity Hub executable in the Reflect folder.
• If installing the Industrial Hub on a machine with the standard Hub already installed, select a directory other than Program Files/Applications to install in.
• If prompted by the message New Plugins Are Available, click Restart Now. This will ensure you have the most up-to-date Reflect plug-ins. (Figure 01).

• In the Industrial Hub, click on the Installs tab, and then select Companion Applications. This is where all programs that are compatible with Reflect will be listed.
• Click on the Find my Companion Apps button to begin scanning your system for compatible software (Figure 02).

• Select your software of choice from the list and click on the three vertical dot icon on the upper right side of the software card. For this tutorial, we will be installing the Revit integration (Figure 03).

• Select Install Plugin. The Reflect plug-in will be installed for the software.

Now that you have installed the Unity Industrial Hub and the Reflect plug-in for Revit, you are ready to get started with Reflect.
