Effortless Setup and Seamless Integration

The plugin seamlessly integrates with popular platforms like Dropbox, OneDrive, Microsoft Exchange, and Autodesk® BIM 360®, providing you with a comprehensive solution that adapts to your preferred workflow.

Superior Family Loading Experience

Gone are the days of tedious family loading through the traditional "Load Family" method and navigating through multiple folders within Windows Explorer. With Family Browser, you can simply drag and drop families to load or insert them into your project. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also ensures that only the desired family types are loaded, eliminating the hassle of managing unwanted types.

Preview and Metadata Enhancements

Family Browser offers customizable icon previews, allowing you to visualize the families you are about to load. This feature provides a quick and accurate way to assess the suitability of a family before incorporating it into your project. Additionally, you can add metadata in the form of tags to your families, enhancing their searchability and usefulness. These tags enable you to categorize and organize your families effectively, making it effortless to find the right content when you need it.

Powerful Search Capabilities

Searching for families within your library has never been easier. Family Browser allows you to search across your entire collection with instant feedback. You can search by family name, type name, category, parameter value, or customizable tags, ensuring that you can pinpoint the exact content you require, even in comprehensive libraries. This unparalleled search functionality provides a significant productivity boost, saving you valuable time and effort.

Expanded Library Inclusion

In addition to user-created families, Family Browser also supports the inclusion of Revit System families, schedules, and drafting views into your library. This comprehensive approach ensures that all relevant content is readily accessible, further streamlining your workflow and minimizing the need to switch between different interfaces or file locations.

Analytics and User Management

Family Browser offers valuable analytics that allow you to track and visualize usage patterns. You can easily identify the most popular families, tabs, and groups, enabling you to optimize your content organization accordingly. Additionally, the analytics provide insights into user search behavior and the responsiveness of Family Browser, facilitating continuous improvement and enhancing the overall user experience.

Furthermore, Family Browser provides user management capabilities, allowing you to assign users as Admin or User. This feature ensures that the setup and configuration of Family Browser remain under the control of designated BIM Managers, while still allowing users to benefit from the plugin's powerful features.
