I post files to websites, including Revit and Sketchup files, but I do not know the workings of either software package. The files I have to post are zip files that were created, named & zipped years ago (2013 I think) to match the company website's product structure. Now I am posting them to a new website with a slightly restructured product tree. Can I unzip all of the files, rename them and rezip them to more closely match the new product structure, without rendering the files useless?
My fear is that there may be something within the files themselves that are tied to the original file names. (I do not have Revit and cannot open the files.)
Packaging CAD and BIM files for export usually creates file name specific links and sub-folders. Those links are broken if you start moving things around.

Maybe, and maybe not.

Is it essential to include .txt files that match the .rfa files? (My resident expert is out of the office for a few days.)
