If you are an Autodesk Revit user, you know the importance of having a smooth and efficient workflow when it comes to managing your families. The Family Browser R4 2021 is a powerful plugin that offers a dynamic interface to control, store, and locate office families. With its wide range of features, it simplifies the process of organizing and accessing families, making it an essential tool for any small or large practice.

Easy Setup and Seamless Integration

One of the standout features of the Family Browser R4 2021 is its ease of setup and use. You have the flexibility to choose where your content resides, whether it's on your local machine, a LAN server, or a cloud-based file location. This plugin seamlessly integrates with popular cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Microsoft Exchange, and Autodesk BIM 360, allowing you to access your families from anywhere.

The drag and drop functionality of the Family Browser makes loading and inserting families a breeze. Say goodbye to the time-consuming process of searching through numerous folders within Windows Explorer. With customizable icon previews, you can see exactly what you are about to load, eliminating the chance of mistakenly inserting the wrong family type into your project.

Enhanced Search and Metadata

The Family Browser R4 2021 takes family organization to the next level with its robust search capabilities. You can search across your entire library with instant feedback, whether it's by family name, type name, category, parameter value, or customizable tags. The addition of tags as metadata allows you to add more useful information to the family, making it easier to search for specific types of families.

Another innovative feature is the ability for users to rate families. By allowing users to star-rate families, BIM managers can easily identify the most popular families within their practice. This insight can help prioritize updates and improvements to the family library, ensuring that the most frequently used families are always up to date.

Analytics and User Management

The Family Browser R4 2021 goes beyond just organizing and accessing families. It offers powerful analytics to keep track of how the plugin is being utilized within your organization. You can visually see the most used families, tabs, and groups, allowing you to optimize your workflow based on real data.

Additionally, the plugin tracks user behavior, providing valuable insights into what users are searching for and the time it takes for the Family Browser to respond to those requests. This information can help identify areas for improvement and ensure that the plugin is running smoothly for all users.

User management is another key feature of the Family Browser R4 2021. You can assign users as admins or regular users, allowing you to control who can modify the setup of the Family Browser. This ensures that the plugin remains organized and tailored to your practice's specific needs.
