Arch Family Manager

Architite

Browse, preview and organize thousands of Revit families in seconds - without opening Autodesk® Revit®.

Free

Arch Family Manager is a standalone Windows desktop application designed to simplify browsing, searching, and organizing large Revit family libraries.

Developed by a practising architect, the application addresses a common challenge faced by Revit users: finding the right family among thousands of .rfa files distributed across multiple folders.

Arch Family Manager helps architects, BIM professionals, and designers efficiently navigate their Revit content libraries without having to launch Revit just to locate a family.

By streamlining family discovery and library organization, the application reduces time spent searching through folders, improves content accessibility, and helps users maintain a more organized BIM workflow.

 

Key Benefits

  • Standalone Application: Browse Revit family libraries without launching Autodesk Revit.

  • Simplified Library Navigation: Easily browse and organize Revit families stored across multiple folders.

  • Time-Saving Workflow: Reduce repetitive manual searching and improve productivity.

  • Built for BIM Professionals: Designed by a practising architect with real-world architectural workflows in mind.

Arch Family Manager makes managing Revit content libraries simpler, faster, and more efficient—so you can spend less time searching and more time designing.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard Design and Make Marketplace).

- Category, type and parameter data is read from data Revit embeds in each family file. Project files (.rvt), templates and some very old families don't carry it, so they show no parameters.

- The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning on first run ("More info" → "Run anyway").
