Revit family library management, in the cloud
Organize, version, and share your Revit families — searchable from the web or directly inside Revit.
Keep personal and team libraries searchable, preview what is inside a family (.rfa) before you download it, track every version, and load the right family from the web or directly inside Revit.
Revit family library management for designers, BIM managers, and project teams
Manage a personal Revit family library, standardize company BIM content, and give project teams one reliable place to find approved Revit families.
Designers & modelers
Architects, engineers, and drafters — organize your personal Revit family library so the .rfa files you actually use are one search away, on every project.
BIM managers
Standardize a company Revit content library with approved families, naming rules, and version control — no more outdated duplicate .rfa files.
Revit teams
Give a project team one shared Revit family library with workspace roles and access control.
Revit family library features — search, preview, version, and sync
No more digging through network drives, downloading a family to find out it's wrong, or discovering too late that someone overwrote it. Revit talks to your cloud library directly — and nothing changes in that library without your say-so.
Upload your .rfa files once and organize them by folder, category, or tag. Everyone works from the same library — in the office, at home, or on site.
Your whole team searches one library instead of guessing which drive the file is on. Drop in your .rfa files and they catalogue themselves.
Open any family directly in your browser to explore its family parameters, types, interactive 3D geometry, and related images, videos, and documents. Enrich every family with the context your team needs — and transform a collection of .rfa files into a professional, organized content library.
Set your Revit naming convention and identity-data rules once. Every family is then checked against them and comes back with a suggested name and matching identity data — a few clicks apply it across the whole library.
Every upload keeps the version before it, so when a family starts causing problems in a project you can see exactly which parameters changed, who changed them, and go back to the version that worked.
Families live in the cloud as the single source of truth. Every update runs one closed loop — change, sync, approve — so nothing changes without control.
Publish your best in-house families — or your full product range — as a public library. Anyone can find it and spin the 3D preview, downloading takes a free account, and the rest of your library stays private.
How to organize a Revit family library — personal and team workflows
Two ways to work: as an individual keeping your own library in order, or as a team sharing one library across a project.
Move the families sitting in local folders into one searchable library you can reach from the web app or from inside Revit.
Revit family files move from a local folder into the OceanBIM Family Manager cloud library.
One Revit family library — in your browser and in the Revit add-in
The same library, reachable from your browser and from inside Revit.
Family Manager web app
Upload, organize, preview, version, and manage access.
- Drag-and-drop upload with metadata extraction
- 3D preview before you download
- Folders, categories, collections, and tags
- Workspace roles and share links
Revit add-in (Autodesk Revit 2022–2027)
Load family content without hunting through network folders.
- Sign in to your library from Revit
- Browse categories and search your families
- Load a family into the open model
- Upload families and publish new versions
Secure Revit family storage — where your files live and who can reach them
A shared drive has no history, no undo, and no real access control. This fixes all three.
Locked, always
Encrypted in storage and in transit.
Never on the open web
No stray link can expose your library.
Private until you share
Only the people you invite can see it.
Nothing gets lost
Every version is kept, so a bad overwrite is undoable.
| Shared drive | Family Manager | |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Anyone can overwrite or delete | Per workspace, roles you control |
| History | An overwritten file is gone | Old versions stay, always |
| Source of truth | Copies drift, nobody knows which | One current version, searchable |
| Reach | Office network only | Anywhere you work |
| Backups | Whoever set up that machine | Managed cloud, monitored |

Built around real Revit and BIM content workflows
OceanBIM Family Manager is built to make Revit family libraries easier to maintain, search, and share. It covers the content workflows BIM teams run every day, and keeps growing from what real projects turn out to need.
You own your content
Families you upload stay yours. You control who can see them through workspace roles and share settings.
Access is permission based
Private libraries stay private. Content becomes publicly visible only when you publish it to a public gallery.
Actively developed
We publish what works today and keep the roadmap driven by real project feedback, not a feature checklist.
