QuickFamily

One-click 2D family creation for Revit

Free Revit plugin that allows users to create 2D families (profiles, generic annotations, detail items) instantly by selecting 2D elements and assigning a name and category, eliminating the need to navigate the family editor.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Creating 2D families in Revit requires opening the complex family editor, creating new families, and following specific workflows. AutoCAD users expect quick block creation, making Revit's approach time-consuming for reusable 2D elements like profiles, annotations, and detail components.

The Solution

QuickFamily streamlines the process: select 2D elements in a Revit view, click the QuickFamily button, assign a name and category, and the plugin instantly creates a reusable 2D family. This mimics AutoCAD's block creation workflow within Revit.

Exactly what this tool uses and how

Input
What it needs
Required:2D elements in Revit view (lines, text, shapes)
Optional:Custom family parameters via Revit UI
Formats:Revit project geometry
Output
What you get
Format:Revit 2D family file
Fields:Family name, Family category, Family type with 2D geometry
Algorithm
How it works
Model:Deterministic geometry conversion (not AI-based)
Accuracy:Not applicable (deterministic conversion process)
Privacy
How your data is protected
Retention:Plugin operates locally within Revit; no cloud data transmission for family creation
Training:No user data training; plugin is deterministic
Compliance:GDPR compliant (Camilion Consulting & Development is GDPR-registered in Spain), No personal data collection for basic plugin operation
API
Integration
Endpoint:Contact vendor for API access (plugin uses Revit SDK directly)
Method:Not publicly documented
