In versions 2013 and 2014, you can download national RFA families automatically during the first-time installation or later installation. Just check the requested content languages/countries:

If you want to add content packs to an already installed Revit version, run "Uninstall/Change" on your Revit version from the Windows Control Panels (Programs and features), choose "Add or Remove Features" in the installation dialog and in the step "Add or Remove Content" checkmark the requested national libraries or use the "Add content" button to choose a preset XML file describing the content to download. The Next button will then download (takes some time!) and install the library or libraries.

Installation

ProdLib is an extension for Revit that can be used within any Revit version later than 2016 (except for Revit LT). It’s also possible to use ProdLib in several Revit versions with the single installation. Downloading and using ProdLib is totally free of charge.

Revit LT users can download Revit objects from our web-based tool WebLib.

The installation and usage process in short:

Run the installation

Launch ProdLib Manager

Download Revit family libraries from different manufacturers

Open Revit. ProdLib can be found from the top ribbon

Open the desired library, choose the right object, and click Insert

For more detailed installation instructions, please read the User’s Manual.

Content management

One of the main features of ProdLib Revit extension is the background functionality ensuring that the latest product data and content is always available for architects and engineers. When connected to internet, the application checks regularly that the latest version of the content is in use. If there’s an update available, it’s clearly indicated to the user.

Once the BIM object libraries have been downloaded, they can be used even in the offline mode.

If the installation requires administrative rights, users can still manage existing libraries or download new ones without the administrative rights.
