Currently, Pirros only supports importing and maintaining live references from section references and callouts.
When you import details into Revit from Pirros:
Section Callouts and References come in with live reference bubbles
By default, the reference bubble will appear different due to Revit's limitations in exporting this data.
You will need to download the "parent" and "child" details in one stage for download in order to keep the live reference.
You can stage from the search page or put all the views into a stash and stage for download at once.
If you download just the parent or just the child detail without the corresponding linked detail:
The reference bubble will disappear and will not bring in the linked detail
If you download just the parent and child detail, without the parent sheet that house both details:
The reference bubble will still appear, but it will look blank or inactive.
This happens because the linked sheet number possibly doesn't exist in the model, even though the reference ID is technically live in the system.
Step 1: Find the detail with references.
Step 2: Create a user stash with the referenced details.
Step 3: Stage for download.
To preserve full functionality:
Download the entire sheet or sheets into Revit at once from Pirros:
This ensures:
All reference bubbles and section callouts remain active and clickable
The linked views are properly mapped in the model
The numbers of the details and sheet number remain within the bubble
You avoid missing connections or broken references
Step 1: When performing your search, apply the filter under Detail Type to narrow results specifically to sheets within Pirros.
Step 2: Clicking Open Full Detail on a sheet takes you to the Sheet page. Here, you’ll see a larger view of the sheet, with all individual details displayed on the right-hand side.
Step 3: Complete your download to Revit.
Notice that the section (bottom bubble) retains the preserved station reference from the original sheet, whereas the reference bubble (top bubble) reverts to a horizontal reference relative to the original sheet.
