# 9.1. Taxonomy File Plugin

The **Taxonomy File** plugin is used to generate a taxonomy file in .txt format and replace it for the active version of Revit.

{% step %}
To launch the plugin, open the **Qsee** tab and select **Taxonomy File** from the **Asset Data** panel.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A dropdown menu will appear containing all available classifiers from the **List of Classification** module. The appropriate classifier for the current session should be selected from this list.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: The plugin generates and saves the Taxonomy File only for the version of Revit in which it was launched. Other plugins rely on this loaded file as a basis for their operation. If a different classifier needs to be used, the file must be regenerated by selecting the corresponding classification table and restarting the current Revit session. Upon completion, a notification window will confirm that the Taxonomy File is ready. The window can then be closed.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;Note:

The newly generated Taxonomy File is saved in the following directories:

%AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 20xx &#x20;

%ProgramData%\Autodesk\RVT 20xx\UserDataCache&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When a new file is generated using the **Taxonomy File** plugin, restarting the current Revit session is required to ensure proper activation. Otherwise, the previous version of the file will remain in use.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A notification window appears to inform that the Revit session needs to be restarted.
