🚀 New

  • Added the option to rename material classes, allowing Content Managers and Admins to keep class names consistent. When a class is renamed, family parameters that use it update to the new name.

✨ Improved

  • Improved template listings with search and sorting options, with templates ordered by Last Updated by default.

  • Improved template uploads: you can drag and drop files onto the empty Project Templates section, and the Create Template and Add File dialogs stay locked while files upload so they cannot be closed accidentally.

  • Updated template versions so the download option is not offered while a version is still processing.

  • Updated the New from Template button so Revit versions are listed in their own dropdown, and template comments so author names link to their profile pages.

  • Improved keyboard navigation and accessibility in the new template dialogs and dropdowns.

  • Improved Revit build recognition with support for Revit 2026.4.2 and Revit 2025.4.6.

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where comments added when publishing a template from the Revit Add-in could fail to be stored, ensuring they appear on the template page.

  • Fixed an issue where deleting a template did not redirect to the templates listing, ensuring you land on the right page after deletion.

  • Fixed an issue where the Download button on family Files pages could fail to start the download, ensuring files download correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where the Revit usage chart could appear blank, ensuring usage data displays correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where library search could fail when a search returned no results, ensuring empty searches display correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where the Unassigned option in library filters could fail when no project data was available, ensuring the filter returns correct results.

🚀 New: Project Templates

Project Templates lets teams store Revit project templates in the Kinship library and start new models from them.

How it works

  • The Library home page now shows a Project Templates section with the most recent templates and a See All link to view all of your team’s templates.

  • Each template has its own page with description, information, comments, and its available Revit versions.

  • The + Create Template button opens a dialog to add a new template. You can upload .rte or .rvt files, add multiple files for different Revit versions, as well as edit the name, image and color for the template.

  • You can add a description to a template from its detail page by clicking on Edit Info under the More menu in the top right, or by clicking on the + Add Description button in the About section.

  • Template files can be downloaded, updated, opened for editing, or deleted for each Revit version.

  • The New from Template button starts a new Revit model from the template. This will default to creating the model in your active Revit version. You can also click on a specific Revit version of the template to create a new model in that version.

Availability

  • Everyone can browse templates and create new models from templates.

  • Only Content Managers or Admins can add and manage templates.

Limits

  • Templates can be .rte or .rvt files, and the latter either central or non-central models.

  • Newly added templates will appear for use only once their upload finishes processing.

✨ Improved

  • Updated icons across the Web Platform for a more consistent look, including More menus and navigation chevrons.

🔧 Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where dropdown menus on family Files pages could fail to open, ensuring file actions work correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where grouped families could show incorrect Added by and Last updated by details, ensuring family lists display the right people.

  • Fixed an issue where filtering the library by Revit version could return incorrect results, ensuring the filter matches the selected versions.
