Kinship

Kinship 1.93.0.0 by Andekan Inc. is a Revit content management platform that centralizes families, templates, and sheets into a single, searchable repository so architects, MEP engineers, and BIM managers can reuse standardized components across multiple projects instead of rebuilding them from scratch. The application tracks every insertion, modification, and approval event, generating live dashboards that show which content is being used, by whom, and on which worksets, giving project leads data-driven visibility into model growth, sheet counts, and family performance. Beyond simple storage, Kinship automatically tags incoming Revit files with metadata extracted from shared parameters, then syncs that information back to the model in real time, ensuring that schedules, keynote tables, and specification keys stay consistent without manual re-entry. Teams use the software during early design to vet incoming consultant content for compliance, during construction documentation to monitor sheet issuance milestones, and during facility hand-off to export final asset lists that match the as-built model. The built-in analytics engine compares current project metrics against historical baselines stored in previous versions—ten major releases to date—highlighting spikes in family duplication, warning when sheet creation deviates from the planned timeline, and recommending content retirement when usage drops below a set threshold. Because the add-in runs inside Revit as well as in a stand-alone web console, remote stakeholders can review the same KPIs without opening the model, while on-site modelers continue working with the familiar ribbon interface. Kinship is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
