Family Browser Advanced Search

A few weeks ago we updated both Family Browser and Project Browser with an advanced search function that can search by family Name, Family Type, Parameter Type, Name and Value.

I have included below two YouTube video to show how easy this function is to use.

Project Browser - Views on sheets

Recently Steve Stafford of Revit OpEd and James Herndon from TheRevitBlog  has just recently blogged about different ways to show graphically views which are placed on sheets in the Revit Project Browser.

While these ways are a valid way of achieving that task we believe that with Kiwi Codes Project Browser we have a much more elegant and visual way of achieving this.

This YouTube video shows just how easy it is in KC Project Browser.

New Installers - Silent Parameter changes

 

You may have noticed in the latest build of our products that we are now using flash new installer software.

We have done this to be more Windows compliant and certainly helps with the Family/Project Browser deployment and uninstall etc.

One side effect that this has caused is the new Parameter values required to install our Apps Silently. Instead of the "/s" switch this has now changed to "/qn ALLUSERS=1" for example you would run "FamilyBrowser-1-10-15-1.exe /qn ALLUSERS=1" from DOS or a VB script at user login to install Family Browser silently for all users.

Email us if you have any questions regarding this.

Kiwi Codes - Sheet Counter Released

At last we have released an installer for Sheet Counter 2013 to our products page http://www.kiwicodes.com/products/24-sheet-counter.html

Sheet Counter is a simple automatic sheet counter for Revit 2013 which counts how many sheets are in the project and numbers the sheets ie sheet 23 of 97.

You can remove, exclude or add sheets and Sheet Counter will automatically renumber the sheets for you.

Family/Project Browser gets Advanced Search

We are very pleased to announce that new builds are now available for download from our website that includes a brand new "Advanced Search" engine.  The existing quick family name search remains but now we are able to search by any combination of:

• Family Category
• Family Name
• Family Type
• Parameter Name
• Parameter Type
• Parameter Value

The most fantastic part about the search is the real-time instant updates of complying families, shown graphically within the search tab.

Existing Customers - Looking for testers

Hi all.

We are looking for some existing customers of Family Browser or Project Browser to test a new feature next week.
