This requires the quality management add-on. Mira can only search your Pirros library if your firm is on it. On standard Mira these prompts will not work — see What Mira can do with and without the QMS add-on.
A detail built from your typical families is maintainable. A detail built from raw drafting lines is a one-off that nobody can update, reuse, or control.
Mira can tell you which of the two you are looking at, and what to do about it.
Checking a detail
Open the detail in Revit, then ask Mira something like:
"Look at this open detail. Which families in this detail are not part of our typical family library in Pirros? Compare against the library and see whether they could be replaced with a Pirros typical family."
The wording does not need to be exact. Mira will list the families in the detail, search your Pirros library, and tell you which are typicals and which are not.
On a well-built detail the answer is reassuring — every component is one of your typicals, and the detail is in good shape.
A detail with no families at all
Run the same check on a poorly built detail and you get a different answer: the detail contains zero family instances and is drawn entirely from native Revit drafting elements.
That is worth knowing. It means no standardization, no parametric control, and nothing that updates when your standards change. It is a common pattern for one-off millwork and it is usually invisible until someone looks.
Finding replacements
Once Mira has identified that a detail is drawn rather than built, ask it the follow-up:
"Can you identify any families in our Pirros library that could replace parts of this detail?"
Mira searches your library for the specific conditions it found — plywood sections, blocking, gypsum board, and so on — and tells you which of them you already have as typical families.
Read the answer, don't just accept it
These results are worth checking rather than taking wholesale. Mira is searching your actual library and matching against what it sees in the detail, and matches vary in quality.
Look at what it suggests against what is actually drawn. If it proposes a plywood section and the detail has plywood on three faces of a cabinet, that is a good match. Ask it to be more specific where it is vague.
Like any AI assistant, running the same prompt twice can produce slightly different answers. That is normal and is not a sign something is broken. Start a new chat for each detail rather than continuing one long conversation.
Why this is useful
This is a quality check you could not run before. Knowing whether your set is built from your standards — rather than from whatever someone drew that afternoon — used to require opening details one by one and looking.
It pairs naturally with library work: what Mira flags as missing is often exactly what should be vetted into your typical library next.
