Note: This article covers the new-generation Pirros plugin (v4.x). If you're on the classic plugin (v3.x), see Revit Plugin: Download & Installation.
The new Pirros plugin brings the entire Pirros web app directly into Revit as a dockable panel. Instead of separate windows for downloading, uploading, and syncing, everything you do on app.pirros.com now happens in one panel that lives alongside your model — same library, same account, same content, no switching between Revit and a browser.
Open the Pirros Panel
In Revit, click the Pirros tab in the ribbon.
The panel opens docked to the right side of your Revit window.
Sign in with your Pirros account.
The Four Tabs
Browse — Search and filter your firm's full library without leaving Revit. Insert content by dragging it straight into your model or clicking Insert. Families with multiple types show a type picker so only the types you check come in; single-type families place immediately.
Updates — When your firm's library has a newer version of a detail or family that's in your model, it appears here. Review what changed and pull the latest version in.
Sync — The reverse direction: when you modify Pirros-tracked content in your model (details, sheets, loadable families, system families, groups), it shows up here. Select what to push back, add a change message so your team knows what changed, and sync — each item versions in place in your library.
Settings — Project settings, Plugin preferences, and version info.
What's Different from the Classic Plugin?
One panel instead of many windows. Browse, insert, update, and sync all happen in the docked panel — no separate download or upload dialogs.
Always current. The panel is the live web app, so new Pirros features appear without waiting for a plugin update.
Same library. Nothing changes about your firm's content — both plugin generations read and write the same library, and content tracked by the classic plugin is recognized by the new one.
FAQ
Q: Will my firm's library or projects change when we move to the new plugin?
A: No. Both plugins work against the same Pirros library. Details and families you've synced with the classic plugin are recognized and stay tracked.
Q: How do I get it?
A: Download the latest plugin from app.pirros.com/plugin once it is enabled for your firm.
Q: Does it work offline?
A: No — the panel is the live Pirros web app, so it needs an internet connection, same as the classic plugin.
