It also allows you to easily remove information from a Revit model before sending it to an outside party to help protect your intellectual property. Project Cleaner can be used to lighten models to be sent to outside parties, resulting in smaller file sizes. This feature makes it easy to see the difference between two shared parameter files, and to be able to select parameters from one shared parameter file and merge them into another. Shared parameter files are specially-formatted text files that define the names and data types for special parameters that are used in Revit. This feature lets you easily specify to delete all the backup files in an entire folder structure.
Sometimes several backup files can exist for a single family file. Whenever a family file is saved, Revit typically creates a backup file in the same folder. It’s also annoying to not be able to determine the version of a family file before opening it, so you can select the correct version of Revit to use to open it the first time. There are many tedious tasks involved with managing family files, such as deleting old backup files and comparing and merging shared parameter files. The Best Collection of Family Creation Utilitiesįamily Tools provides utilities to make it easier to work with Revit family files. For example, with this feature Family Preview Manager can apply plan or elevation views to doors, right or left orthogonal views for mechanical equipment, ceiling/hidden lines to air terminals, etc. With the Appearance Template engine, unique processing profiles can be applied to families by category.
It’s easy to configure the overall look of the previews by simply choosing the appropriate options such as: preview name, set as active view, preview visibility, anti-aliasing, showing reference objects, turning off dimensions and more.
