Free Family Browser for individual Revit® users
Smart Browser Free makes it simple to locate Revit® families in external Revit content libraries on your computer.
How does it work?
Smart Browser Free finds your Revit families the way like Google does to help you find information on the internet. This Revit plugin automatically builds a database index of your entire Revit library and then provides you with powerful filtering and search tools to quickly find exactly what you’re looking for.
Smart Browser Free is a family content browser that creates an independent environment enabling Revit families from libraries to be easily and quickly found and placed into your project. Revit families are listed in a “Dynamic Tree View” where they can be grouped by original folder, category, insertion type or unit system.
Smart Browser Free enables you to:
- Find Revit® families externally stored on your computer by family name, family type, parameter name, or parameter value.
- Review Revit® family types and parameters containing values prior to insertion.
- Find and Drag-and-Drop elements into the project.
- Review all Revit® families in 2D and 3D views (using the Autodesk Design Review plug-in) before inserting them into the project.
- Filter Revit® families by original folders, categories, insertion types, or unit systems.
