1.98.8.0

Add-in

Beta

✨ Improved

  • Improved material image handling so Revit’s built-in material images and images referenced through custom render appearance folders keep their existing paths. Custom image files added from direct file paths are still copied into Kinship when Materials is enabled.

  • Updated add-in installation support for Revit 2026 and above while preserving compatibility with earlier Revit versions.

  • Improved compatibility for the browsable search interface in Revit 2024 and above, reducing conflicts with other add-ins that use WebView2.

1.98.7.0

Add-in

Beta

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where unused Revit material assets could remain in uploaded family files after unused materials were removed, ensuring downloaded RFAs are cleaned more completely.

1.98.6.0

Add-in

Beta

✨ Improved

  • Tracked models with Materials enabled now process custom material images after Sync with Central, reducing the need to reopen a model before Kinship copies newly added material images.

1.98.5.0

Add-in

Beta

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where private collections and projects could be missing from the Revit Add-in search scope filters for Admins.

1.98.4.0

Add-in

Beta

✨ Improved

  • When a tracked model with Materials enabled is opened, Kinship now queues newly copied material images for direct upload.

  • Revit out-of-the-box material images are no longer copied into Kinship’s material cache. Custom material images are still copied as expected.

  • Unused Object Style cleanup now clears unused material references instead of deleting Object Styles, reducing the risk of unintended changes to uploaded families.

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where uploading files or folders could fail to generate thumbnails for selected RFA files.

  • Fixed an issue where family uploads could remain stuck in pending upload after a successful upload.

  • Fixed an issue where material processing could show a Revit worksharing error when another user owned a material appearance asset.

🔧 Fixed
