Pirros allows users to search across all projects at once - to get to any detail in under a minute. It is a cloud-based detail management database with a fully built-out search engine to find the closest fit details. The Pirros search engine is built specifically for detailing items. Information from the title of detail, view name, sheet name, and text from the callouts on the detail is included in the search engine.
Search by typing in a description of the detail you are looking for. Click on detail items to get a closer look to specific details.

Detail Filters
Detail filters are based on keyword tags, Revit version, asset type and more. As you upload details into Pirros from your previous Revit models, each detail will upload with certain filters attached to it, such as detail type and Revit version. The detail types refer to either Revit Drafting Views, Revit Detail Views, and Revit Sheets. Each detail from your model will automatically upload with its particular Detail types called out.
Project Filters
Filter based on project parameters so you can refine your search to projects that are more likely to have similar conditions and details. With Pirros, you can quickly filter down to similar projects based on key project parameters.
Filter search results down to projects:
In a certain market sector or location
With a specific client or vendor
That have the same building material and exterior/interior finish
The list goes on
These parameters are completely customizable. For firms specializing in single-family residential projects within one region, the project parameters they prioritize differ from those of firms engage in high-rise and large-scale projects globally. You can decide which project parameters matter to your firm and add brand new ones depending on the types of projects your firm designs.
Reference Only
Project administrators on Pirros can make certain projects "reference only" so that team members know they can reference these details, but are unable to reuse them in current and future projects without permission from their manager. When a project is marked as "Reference Only," Admins are the only users who can download the detail files.
The Reference Only feature enables you to:
Find any detailing condition your firm has designed in minutes
Reference old projects with unique detailing conditions
While at the same time:
Provide a controlled environment for reusing project details
Eliminate the fear of young architects copying and pasting bad or out of date details without appropriately modifying them.
