Overview of Revit runstring parameters (for Revit.exe)

The BIM application Autodesk Revit (and Revit LT) is launched using the executable Revit.exe. In its parameters - in the desktop icon or on the command line - you can use a number of optional runstring parameters (switches).

Here is the overview of them:

fully qualified name of a RVT/RTE/RFA file - opens a given project or template or family
fully qualified name of a journal file - executes (repeats) commands stored in the journal log file (.txt)
/language CODE - run Revit in the given language (if the respective language pack is installed) - e.g. "/language FRA"
/nosplash - run Revit without the initial graphical splash/jingle
/viewer - run Revit in the no-license view-only mode (R/O)
/runmaximized - run in a maximized application window
/runhidden - run in an invisible (hidden) application window
/noninteractive - run in a non-interactive mode (cannot control Revit from its UI)
/debugmode - run in a debug mode
/3GB (only for older, 32-bit versions) - make accessible RAM over the 2GB limit
