Align BIM Standards Across Models and Projects

Mapping Success

Rein In Revit Properties

When content and details arrive from various sources, models can easily become muddled by invasive standards. Guardian ensures the graphical quality of your project deliverables is of the highest quality by automatically identifying, cleaning, and converting those incoming standards to your graphical and Revit standards.

Automatic ... and Awesome!

Revit struggles to maintain graphical quality, frustrating everyone from end-users to project managers. Guardian identifies your Revit standards and families — and our automation handles the rest.

Soar to the Cloud

With Guardian, you can save your standards to the cloud, which not only cements a source of truth but also lets you automatically propagate those standards to all active projects.

Memory Vault

Guardian gets smarter the more you use it. Once the platform maps a foreign property to your standards, Guardian remembers it, automatically applying it to — and making cleaner — all future projects.

Intelligence for All Standards

Guardian isn’t limited to only one standard. It can keep track of multiple standards from other disciplines, regions, clients, and more — and even convert your projects and content between them.

Masterfully Manage the Madness

Let Guardian take control of properties with our standards mapping capabilities. Align properties across models and families by mapping styles, line and fill patterns, shared parameters, families, and more. Also, remove duplicate properties and clutter to stave off errors that can reduce quality and waste time down the line.

Guardian’s mapping also makes life easier for future projects. For example, you can rename standards to achieve consistency, and the platform can validate that new standards are used and maintained.

Guardian Sync Properties^TM

One Cloud to Rule Them All

Host your firm’s Revit properties and standards in the cloud with Guardian Sync Properties. Then, when you make a change, it synchronizes to all projects — no need to worry about spending hours tediously updating multiple instances or that the revision might cause confusion and delay.

Guardian Sync Properties also empower BIM managers to determine whether to make changes and update the source of truth for a project. The platform identifies the differences and similarities and gives admins the option to decide what to go with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions about Guardian’s standards and mappings.

Can I review changes to properties before they are officially incorporated?

Yes! Guardian can be configured so that admins can get the final look at any adjustments being made within a project.

How is content cleaned and updated with Project Properties?

The process is easy and versatile to what works best for you. Project Properties kick into action when content is loaded via the Insert Family, Transfer Project Standards, or Insert Views (from another project) commands — or by simply copying and pasting.

Can updated properties be applied retroactively?

Yes! Updating a property to the cloud through Guardian Sync Properties permits you the option to automatically adjust previous projects, regardless of the version of Revit that was used.

Managing standards in Revit, without any outside help, has always been a lot of work. How does Guardian make this easier?

Guardian can guide you every step of the way to bring your standards and best practices into the platform — and naturally learns from your progress. You won't regret the effort, especially when those standards are applied across families and projects.
