Revit 2022 - Packages installing but not showing for some users

[MVE1112]

Hello,

I’d highly recommend not using a network drive for packages. Dynamo for some reason has issues with loading packages from a network drive with a size exceeding (500 mb if i remember correctly?) Even if you do manage to show the nodes, launching a Dynamo script will easily take 5 to 10 minutes if you’re unlucky.

There are countless posts about this problem, one from myself included. For example:

Large network drive for Node and Package paths causes Dynamo to load slowly

If you have noticed that Dynamo is taking too long to load, for example 30 secs or more, it may be because the share that is pointed to by “Manage Node and Package paths” under Settings is too large, for example many TB. A suggested workaround is to create a smaller share, typically around 1GB or less, since the majority of packages do not require such large shares. The load time should reduce to 5-8 secs, depending on the network performance. This flaw is filed as QNTM-1440.

Package Paths on Network Drives

I am trying create a central location on our network where our packages are located, but every time I path to it not all the packages show in my library in dynamo. I know this has been asked a few times, but none of the solutions worked. I have tried unblocking the .dll’s, checked the permissions settings for the folder, and deleted all of my old dynamo version folders. The screen shots below shows on the left what it should look like (I pathed it to my roaming folder), the middle one is with t…

The main consensus on here is that packages should be copied to a local drive on the users computer and loaded from there, instead of directly on a network drive. My company has a network drive where packages get uploaded to, and a logon script copies new packages from the network drive to a local disk to ensure everyone has the same packages.
