Ryan Duell, with Autodesk and The Revit Clinic , created a list of ten supplementary files for Revit and where they are located by default, READ the POST. I've added a few more so the list is now 18 items. The first ten are the same as his but I've tweaked a few things or added a comment here and there so it isn't a literal copy/paste.
