B45 Labs

A content browser for Autodesk® Revit® 2023-2027: find, preview and load families, system types, materials, details and legends from your library folders and open models, in one dockable pane.

Free

B45 Labs | Library is a content browser for Autodesk® Revit®: one dockable pane to find, preview and load the content your team already owns, without hunting through folders or opening donor models.

WHAT YOU GET

Browse and load

• A dockable pane with tabs for loadable families, system types, materials, fill patterns, drafting views, legends, view filters, view templates, and model and detail groups.

• Content comes from your library folders on disk and from any document you have open, including showroom models scoped to the Revit version they were saved in.

• Load and Place puts content straight into the model; Load brings it in without starting a draw command.

• Type ahead in any list to jump to what you need, with thumbnails and previews.

Detail Library

• Publish drafting views and legends from a model into a shared library, and sync them back when the source changes.

• Check Details reports what is out of date, as a formatted Excel export.

Family Manager

• Audit and edit families in batch: parameters, categories, types and .rfa export, across loadable families, system types, model groups and assemblies.

• Unlock Family Parameters removes the locks that block editing.

WHY TEAMS USE IT

• One consistent interface across every command, in both the dark and light Revit themes.

• Progress and completion notifications in the corner of the screen instead of dialogs that interrupt your work.

• Per-item error handling: one unreadable family never stops a scan, and every skipped file is named.

• Branded Excel and PDF reports carrying your company name, accent colour and logo, shared with other B45 Labs products.

• Five interface languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Russian.

COMPATIBILITY
