Easy family management

Make your families searchable alongside your details

Families and details in one library
Pirros automatically builds a single library for your firm’s families and details, so you don’t have to keep bugging your BIM manager for the latest firm-approved version. You can attach details directly to the families they belong to, so the right detail shows up with the right family.
Search the parameters, not the file name
Pirros Families reads the dimensions, materials, type names, and custom parameters inside each family, making them instantly searchable. That covers loadable families, system families, nested families, and model groups. No manual tagging needed.
Trust which family is the standard
Firm-approved families are marked “typical”, so your team knows to reach for them first. Everything pulled out of a model stays labeled as project content for reference.

The problem

Family libraries go wrong quietly.

No one can tell you which of four similar windows is the trusted version, so you build a fifth. Meanwhile, your firm’s family library sits in a separate content manager, with no visibility into which details those families appear in.

The solution

One vetted library, searchable by what’s actually in it.

Your admin promotes families to the approved library; everything else stays project content. Computer vision indexes parameters, types, and geometry, so a family is discoverable by what it is. Inspect it in 3D before it reaches your model.

Firm-approved standard, separate from project content
Parameter search across dimensions, materials, and custom values
Interactive 3D and type inspection in-browser; load only the types you need

The result

The more your firm adds, the less anyone rebuilds.

Every family you add makes the next project faster instead of becoming another duplicate. Teams reach for the version the firm approved, you don’t have to keep bugging your BIM manager, and the library stays current.

How Buehler put its whole library ten seconds from the engineers who need it

Buehler’s library was curated enough to publish as a bookmarked PDF. Pirros made it searchable with easy access to the model — without changing how the team worked.

2,000+: Pieces of content in one library
1,200+: Content downloads per quarter

"We discussed the frustration in finding and navigating things. If we can make people's lives easier, then we knew that Pirros was worth it, as it helped us make work easier and better for our people."

Kevin Cissna

Associate Principal at Buehler
