Plug-In Release Notes

What's new, fixed, and improved in each version of the Pirros Revit plugin.

Below is a record of every Pirros Revit plugin release, from newest to oldest. Use it to find out what changed in a specific release.

Pirros ships two Revit plugins: Pirros in Revit (v4), our next-generation plugin, and the classic plugin (v3.x and earlier). Both are listed below. One installer covers Revit 2020–2027:

  • Revit 2024–2027 run Pirros in Revit once it's enabled for your firm. Until then, they run the classic plugin.

  • Revit 2020–2023 always run the classic plugin.

Changes to Pirros in Revit are in the Pirros in Revit (v4) table. Changes to the classic plugin are in the Pirros (legacy — v3.x and earlier) table.

Which plugin do you have? Look at the Pirros tab in the Revit ribbon. A single Pirros button that opens a docked panel with Browse, Updates, Sync and Settings tabs means you have Pirros in Revit. Separate Sync, Download, Settings, Pirros and Live Link buttons mean you have the classic plugin. Don't go by the version number alone: on Revit 2020–2023 the classic plugin can show a 4.x version number.

To check your current plugin version:

  • Pirros in Revit: open the panel's Settings tab. The Plugin line near the bottom shows the version number.

  • Classic plugin: click the Pirros tab > Settings > About. The window shows the Version.

  • If Pirros won't open: in Windows Settings › Apps (or Control Panel › Programs and Features), find Pirros Revit Plugin (publisher Pirros Inc). A 3.x version means the classic plugin on every Revit version. A 4.0.x version means Pirros in Revit on Revit 2024–2027 and the classic plugin on Revit 2020–2023.


Pirros in Revit (v4)

Our next-generation Revit plugin — a dockable pane inside Revit for browsing, downloading, inserting, uploading, syncing, and Live Link. It runs on Revit 2024–2027, and Pirros in Revit is enabled firm by firm. The first production release was v4.0.1 (July 8, 2026).

Version

Release Date

Changes

4.0.126

October 22, 2026

Detail views upload with all of their 2D content, even when Revit can't copy one of their elements.

Details that arrived in Pirros as a preview only can be inserted and downloaded once you upload them again.

Families stay "In Sync" after you insert, place or load them from Pirros.

Nested families keep their link to Pirros, and syncing a family no longer re-uploads nested families that haven't changed.

When a family loads and one of its nested families is already in your project and linked to Pirros, your project's copy is kept and a newer version shows up as its own row in the Updates tab.

You stay signed in when the Pirros server has a brief interruption.

In the conflict window, family type choices now read "Skip", "Replace existing" and "Keep my version", and each choice has a tooltip that explains it.

Hover over a shortened name in the pane to see it in full.

4.0.119

October 19, 2026

Inserting only some types of a family with hundreds of types takes seconds instead of minutes.

4.0.118

October 15, 2026

The pane signs in reliably on Revit 2025 and 2026, even when other add-ins are installed.

Syncing a family with many types keeps Revit responsive, shows progress (for example, "37 of 195 types") and can be canceled.

Search the Updates tab by name or Pirros ID, sort it by name or date, and filter it by Category.

Blank type values stay blank when you apply updates from the Updates tab, instead of becoming "0" and slowing down families with many types.

If Revit cancels the changes to a family's types, the pane says so instead of reporting the family as updated.

When you insert a family that's already in your project, choose which of its other types to add under "Types not in project".

Ask for a Reference Only detail or family from the pane with the new "Request" button.

Revit 2026.5 no longer shows a security warning for Pirros every time it starts.

4.0.114

October 14, 2026

Inserting a family with many types from the pane takes seconds instead of minutes.

Uploading a family with a type catalog from the Family Editor is more reliable, including catalogs that name nested family types and materials.

Every tab in the pane stays reachable when the pane is narrow.

4.0.108

October 7, 2026

One sign-in covers every Revit session open on your computer, and signing out applies to all of them.

Revit 2026 starts more reliably with Pirros installed.

The pane follows long inserts through to completion, and each insert ends with a short summary of what was inserted.

Inserting several items or building Sheet Builder sheets no longer opens a Revit view tab for each item, and you return to the view you were working in.

Open a stash in the pane to see and insert its Sheet Builder sheets from the "Sheets" tab.

Legends and other views land in the same place as on the original sheet when you insert a sheet uploaded with this version or later.

The Sync tab marks views you rename in Revit as "Renamed" and lists them under "Recommended", so the new name reaches Pirros.

The pane follows the model you switch to in Revit, and stashes created on the website appear when you return to the pane.

Revit's Insert Views from File and Load Family commands now suggest finding the item in Pirros first, with "Open Pirros" and "Continue" buttons.

Details and families that need a newer version of Revit say so in the pane, for example "Needs Revit 2025 or newer".

4.0.91

September 18, 2026

The Issues tab in the pane now matches the web app.

Details that hit Revit errors on insert are now fixed instead of dropped.

Inserting a family brings in every type you selected, not just one.

New family types are added in place instead of reloading the whole family.

Nested shared families load in the right order.

Live Link actions go to the correct Revit session when several are open.

In Browse: a message when a search finds nothing, labeled Filter and Sort buttons, Refresh moved to the header, tabs and search that stay on screen as you scroll, and a link from a result to the web app.

Duplicate or invalid Pirros IDs are cleaned up automatically.

Synced details no longer show up again as recently changed.

Slow imports no longer fail partway through.

Added diagnostics and an opt-out for a known Revit 2026 crash.
