Hi Andrew,
I have a quick question about signing in Sefaira in Revit.
After clicking the icon of Sefaira in 'Add-Ins' in Revit, I got an error message:
Line: 2
Char: 32158
Error: Object doesn't support or method 'addEventListener'
Code: 0
URL: https://identity.trimble.com/trimble-identity/resources/js/lib/jquery.min.js?cb=20200915
Meanwhile, the 'fill in blank' of pop up window for filling in the Email address does not show up.
How could I fix this one?
Thanks a lot
Hi Alan,
WIthout all the details, that looks like a trimble id error which could potentially be solved with this patch: https://support.sefaira.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030523211-Revit-Plugin-Troubleshooting-July-2019
If you are still having trouble I recommend raising the issue in the forums where there are more people monitoring for support.
Hi Andrew,
I have a quick question about signing in Sefaira in Revit. I can not enter my email and password in the log-in interface. Because what I can see is only Trimble, Sign in to all things sketchup,privacy|Terms and Copyright. I can't find any place to enter my mail and password.
How could I fix this one?
Thanks a lot
Will Trimble have a Sephaira for Mac Big Sur eventually or is the future for Revit only?
Huaiying Fu - We now have an upgraded version of the revit plugin which should address this issue. Previously you needed to install patches to solve that issue.
Eric Simonsen - Big Sur is now supported.
Dear Andrew. i'm finding a problem with the Revit pluggin as it says that it is needed to update it but I cannot find the place to do it. I've removed and installed it again and the message keeps on in the menu. How can I solve this? Thanks a lot
Hi Antonio,
Thanks for reporting this. I opened a ticket for you. It's a known bug associated with the new version and we'll have a fix shortly.
Must I purchase Sefaira for Revit? I have it downloaded and installed but it says I dont have a license. Cant find where to get the Sefaira for Revit license
Hi Cameron,
If you have a Sefaira license then you should be able to access and login to all plugins. There is no additional cost or need for a specific Sefaira Revit license.
Note that a Studio trial started after April 7 no longer includes Sefaira access.
Will there be Sefaira for Revit 2022 soon?
Hi Rachel, it should be supported already.
If you are having issues with 2022 please log a support request.
I downloaded the plugin, made account, installed, and it appears in Revit. When I click it, it says "You do not have access to Sefaira at this time." How do I start the 30-day trial?
