Standards and Mappings

Mapping Success

Rein In Revit Properties

When content arrives from various sources, Revit models and families can easily become muddled. Guardian saves you time and stress by automatically identifying, processing, and cleaning your graphical and Revit standards.

Automatic ... and Awesome!

Revit struggles when many properties are flying around, frustrating end-users and BIM managers alike. Guardian identifies your Revit standards and families — and our automation handles the rest.

Soar to the Cloud

With Guardian, you can save properties and standards to the cloud, which not only cements a source of truth but also lets you apply properties to all active and previous projects.

Admin Choices

Sometimes, you may want to see how incoming content is affecting the model. Guardian can be configured so that when a property issue arises, admins are notified and can make the adjustment manually.

A Friend Indeed

The more you use Guardian’s standards and mapping features, the more the platform learns your best practices and preferences. That increases efficiency, allowing you to spend more time focusing on technical quality.

Mapping Standard Properties

Masterfully Manage the Madness

Let Guardian take control of properties with our standards mapping capabilities. Align properties by shared parameters and families, and remove duplicate properties and clutter to stave off errors that can 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^TM

One Cloud to Rule Them All

Host your firm’s Revit properties and standards in the cloud with Guardian Sync™. 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™ also empowers 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 do I load content into Project Properties?

The process is easy and versatile to what works best for you. Content can be 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™ permits you the option to automatically adjust previous projects, regardless of the version of Revit that was used.

Organizing properties and standards seems like a lot of work. How does Guardian help?

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