This page is still a work in progress. We’re actively building out Revit Family Manager, and while this download page itself isn’t finished yet, the update checker built into the app is fully functional — so you’ll always be notified here when a new version is ready. Full details on the program’s features, how it works, and what’s coming next will be added to this page soon.

• Since APP_VERSION = "1.0.2" was set:
• Fixed the grid scrollbar — thumb previously always looked full-height regardless of how much content there was; now correctly shrinks to reflect actual content size
• Added keyboard navigation to the thumbnail grid — arrow keys move selection, Enter opens the family, F2 renames
• Widened the Type/Parameter column in the parameter table (at the expense of Value)
• Sidebar polish — status text styling/spacing, progress bar color, Rescan All button width
• Selection border thickness — explored a thicker blue border for selected cards, found it unreliable in Tk, fully reverted to the original flat style
• Caught two local divergences during a file comparison — an accidentally invisible (white-on-white) progress bar, and a reintroduced selection-highlighting bug — both corrected

Revit Family Manager is a lightweight, standalone desktop tool for browsing and organizing large Revit family libraries — built for anyone managing hundreds or thousands of .rfa files across scattered folders.

Point it at your family library and it gives you:

• Instant visual browsing — thumbnail grid or compact list view, your choice
• Automatic Revit version detection, color-coded so you can spot outdated families at a glance
• A folder tree with recursive filtering — click any folder to see everything inside it, subfolders included
• Embedded parameter inspection — view a family’s types and parameters without opening it in Revit
• In-app renaming, straight from the file browser
• Quick filtering and search by name or Revit version
• Built-in update notifications, so you always know when a new version is available

No Revit installation required to browse — just point it at your folders and go. Runs standalone on 64-bit Windows.

In the meantime, if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback on functionality, feel free to leave a comment below — we’d love to hear from you.

Privacy Policy — Revit Family Manager

• 1. What data this app collects
  • Revit Family Manager does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All scanning of your Revit family files, thumbnail generation, and file management happens entirely on your own computer, and never leaves it. The only network activity the app performs is checking for software updates. This involves requesting a small file from our server to compare version numbers — the same kind of request made every time you visit any website. As a normal, incidental result of standard web hosting, your IP address and basic connection details may appear in our hosting provider's routine server access logs, exactly as they would from browsing to our page — this is not something the app or our website intentionally collects or acts upon. The app does not transmit your name, your files, your folder contents, or any other identifying information as part of this check. No account, login, or personal information is ever required. IP logging is not enabled on our download tracking.
• 2. Third parties
  • We do not share data with third parties, because we do not collect any personal data to share. The only external service contacted is our own website's hosting infrastructure, solely for the update-check file described above. No analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking tools are included in the app.
• 3. Data retention and deletion
  • Because we collect no personal data, there is none for us to retain or delete. Any incidental server access logs generated by standard web hosting are retained only per our hosting provider's normal log rotation, then purged automatically — we do not extract, review, or act on this data.
  • All data the app itself creates — your list of added folders and cached preview thumbnails — is stored exclusively on your own computer, never on our servers, and never transmitted to us.
• 4. Revoking consent / requesting deletion
  • Since no personal data is collected or stored by us, there is nothing to request deletion of. To remove all local data the app has created on your machine, delete the folder:
  • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.revit_family_manager
  • This fully removes your saved folder list and cached previews.
  • For any questions about this policy, contact contact@architite.com.
