Revit 2026 changed how cloud model caches can be configured, and BIM Cache Cleaner wasn’t picking that up properly.
In Revit.ini, Revit now allows the cloud cache to be redirected using:
[CloudModelCache]
CacheLocation=...On a few machines I tested, [Directories] ProjectPath was empty, but CacheLocation was set. BIM Cache Cleaner was still scanning the default location:
%LocalAppData%\Autodesk\Revit
So it simply never saw the real cache.
In 3.5.3, the scanner now checks CacheLocation first. If it’s present and valid, that’s the path it uses. If not, it falls back to the default. That fixes cache discovery for Revit 2026 users who’ve customised their setup.
While fixing that, I did a small amount of internal cleanup to make future changes less brittle.
I added a basic dotnet test project so there’s at least a sanity check without having to mockup cache folders for various Revit versions before shipping changes. It’s not exhaustive, but it’s…
