How Details Works
Two powerful ways to access your firm's details, all within Revit.
Past Project Details
Pull specific details from completed projects while automatically building a centralized library. Proven details become instantly available to you whenever you need them.
Your Library
No switching between windows or navigating file systems. Details integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow without disrupting how you work.
Sheet Manager
Build standardized detail layouts on sheets, choose the titleblock, spacing, naming and more. Share it with the team for consistent detail placement across the firm.
Details never uploads Revit models, files or geometry to the cloud. All model parsing for data occurs locally on the user's machine. Cloud syncs only pull non-sensitive data (what is necessary) for easily searchable details. To learn more about how we protect your data in the cloud, please see our Cloud Data Usage & Security page.
Key Benefits
Built for how engineers and architects actually work.
Always Up-to-Date
Live links refresh every time you open a project. Your team always works with the latest firm standards.
Self-Expanding Library
As engineers and architects pull details from past projects, their personal library grows automatically. Library building happens naturally, without extra work.
Zero Migration
Works with your existing container files and projects. No need to duplicate content or change how your firm organizes details.
Consistent Sheets, Zero Effort
Details lets users quickly create polished sheets with self-organized details. Build a sheet creation template once, and share it across the entire firm so every project uses the same exact detail spacing and layout — no manual adjustment needed.
When one team member sets up a template, everyone benefits. Projects across the firm maintain a consistent, professional look without any extra coordination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Details work with our existing container files?
Yes. Details connects directly to your firm's container models without requiring migration or duplication. Your existing file structure stays intact.
Do we need to set up a separate detail library?
No. Details works with your existing container files and past projects. Your library builds automatically as you use the system.
Does this plugin upload our Revit models to the cloud?
No. Only thumbnail images of relevant details and non-sensitive metadata are uploaded. Full Revit models, files, and geometry stay on your machine.
Can any other firm ever access our details?
No. Each firm has a unique cloud partition. Only users in your firm can view your firm's detail library. Cross-firm access is blocked at the infrastructure level.
What data exactly is stored on your servers?
Thumbnail images of details for immediate viewing in the plugin; detail metadata (discipline and sub-discipline); project metadata; family names; annotations; and file paths. No Revit models or full project files are stored.
Can we delete everything if we stop using the software?
Yes. Admins can permanently delete any synced project data from the cloud during a firm's subscription, or wipe the entire firm library permanently if cancelling the firm's subscription.

About Details
We focus on the details.
"Details was created to solve a problem I faced on every project as an MEP engineer: too much time wasted searching for details that should be at my fingertips. I noticed that typical content managment systems miss the most important thing when it comes to building a system for engineers: their workflow. This plug-in is built for how you actually work, so you never have to leave your Revit project when you design." - David, Founder of Details
Firm-Wide Insights
Use firm-level data to make smarter decisions.
Firm Dashboard at a Glance
Monitor license usage, see cloud sync trends by discipline, and understand how your firm's detail library is growing — all from a single admin dashboard.
Know Which Details Matter Most
Only firm admins can see real-time metrics on which projects are being synced most frequently. When your BIM team can see exactly which projects are being pulled from again and again, they know which details belong in the container file.
Instead of guessing which standards to maintain, your team gets clear, data-driven signals. The most-used details rise to the top. This means your container stays relevant, your library stays lean, and your engineers never waste time recreating what already exists.
The Problem We're Solving
Engineers and architects shouldn't spend their time hunting through old projects and container files to find the perfect detail.
Wasted Time
Engineers and architects spend countless hours navigating file systems, asking colleagues, or recreating details that already exist somewhere in the firm's project history.
Limited Access
The default drafting-view browser is restrictive and outdated. It doesn't support the way modern firms actually organize and share details.
Knowledge Silos
Proven details from completed projects sit locked away in archived files. Every engineer uses old project details when working on new projects. We built a system that connects users to projects within the firm.
Firm Library
Your firm's library belongs to you. We do not share or keep any of your data.
Any engineer in the firm can search for all details in the firm's cloud library based on equipment in the project, keywords from project annotations, and detail titles.
Our Approach
Smart, persistent connections that work how you work.
No Migration Required
Details works with your existing files and organizational structure. We don't force you to move content into a proprietary system.
Automatic Knowledge Sharing
As engineers and architects naturally pull from past projects, the system builds your library without upfront work or disruption. Details also allows for sharing of sheet templates across the firm. Which means detail sheets are always consistent and professional.
Always Current
Live links mean your team always sees the latest details in the container model. When your BIM team updates the container model, users get those updates instantly.

Details Cloud Security Overview
Details is built for firms who need fast access to their detail libraries without compromising security or privacy. We believe your firm's project data belongs to you. This statement explains how we protect your data in the cloud and our commitments regarding data sharing and retention. Cloud syncs only pull what is necessary for easily searchable details. Syncs pull detail thumbnails for fast display in the plugin and basic project metadata like the file path and file name for fast retrieval of details, as well as more in-depth Revit metadata for better grouping of details—like discipline, sub-discipline, associated equipment names, and keynote annotations. When project filepaths are added to the Firm Library, usernames are stripped from the data to protect individual user privacy. We do not save any Revit files or full project files in the cloud.
Details Cloud Security Overview
Details uses Google Firebase (Realtime Database, Cloud Storage, and Authentication) to host firm cloud data. Firebase provides enterprise-grade security infrastructure trusted by organizations worldwide. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
1. Firm-Level Data Isolation
Each firm's project data is stored in a completely separate partition in the cloud. Firm A cannot see, access, or modify Firm B's data under any circumstances.
Isolation is enforced at the infrastructure level through Firebase Auth custom claims. When a user is created or their role changes, a server-side Cloud Function automatically embeds their firm ID and role directly into their authentication token. Every database read/write and every file upload/download is validated against these claims before access is granted. This means access control is enforced by Google's servers — not by client-side code that could be bypassed.
Specifically, the security rules verify that:
- The authenticated user's firm ID matches the data partition they are requesting
- Only users with an admin role can modify or delete data belonging to other users within the same firm
- Standard users can only write to their own storage paths within their firm's partition
Even if a user knew another firm's internal identifiers or storage paths, the request would be rejected at the server level. There is no API endpoint, query, or workaround that allows cross-firm access.
2. User-Level Data Isolation
Within a firm, each user's synced projects are stored under their own unique identifier. One user's library does not mix with another user's library, even within the same firm.
3. License-Based Access Control
All cloud read/write operations are validated against the firm's active license. The database rules verify two conditions before granting access:
- The user's license must belong to the correct firm
- The license must be actively enabled
If a license is deactivated, cloud access is immediately revoked.
4. Single-Computer Activation Lock
Each license key can only be active on one computer at a time. A unique machine fingerprint (hardware-based hash) is registered when the license is activated. If someone tries to use the same key on a different machine, access is denied.
5. No Cross-Firm Data Leakage
The database security rules enforce that a user can only access data under their own firm ID and their own user ID. Even if a user had knowledge of another firm's identifiers, the rules would block the request.
6. Read-Only Project Connections
When the plugin connects to a Revit project for syncing, it opens the file in a read-only, detached mode. The original project file is never modified, and workshared models are not affected.
7. Cloud Data Management
If a user removes a project link locally, the cloud data is preserved to prevent accidental data loss. However, firm administrators can permanently delete any synced project details from the Firm Library at any time. Deleted data is removed from the cloud and cannot be recovered.
8. Encrypted Machine Identification
The machine fingerprint used for single-computer activation is generated using SHA-256 hashing, a one-way cryptographic function. The actual hardware identifiers are never stored or transmitted—only the irreversible hash.
9. HTTPS-Encrypted Transport
All communication between the plugin and the cloud (license validation, metadata sync, thumbnail upload/download) uses HTTPS encryption, protecting data in transit.
10. Firebase Infrastructure & Data Residency
Data is hosted on Google's Firebase platform in the US-Central region. Firebase provides enterprise-grade infrastructure security including data encryption at rest, automatic backups, and 99.95% uptime SLA. All firm data resides within United States data centers. Read more about Firebase security here.
11. No Data Sharing with Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or share your firm's data with third parties. Your synced projects, detail thumbnails, metadata, and firm library content are never shared with advertisers, partners, or other firms. We do not use your firm's data to train AI models or analyze your project content for purposes other than delivering the Details service to you.
12. No Data Retention Beyond Service
Synced data exists to power the Details plugin and Firm Library for your firm. We do not retain copies for our own use. When a firm ends its subscription, all project data is permanently deleted as part of the termination process. Cloud syncs pull only what is necessary: detail thumbnails, file paths, and metadata for search and grouping—not full Revit models or proprietary design content.
13. Admin Data Control
Firm administrators have full control over their cloud data. Admins can permanently delete individual synced projects from the Firm Library, or wipe the entire Firm Library at once — permanently removing all synced project data from the cloud. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered by Details or any third party.
14. User-Initiated Sync Only
Project data is never synced to the cloud automatically. Users must explicitly click to sync a project, giving your firm full control over which projects are stored in the cloud and which remain entirely local. This ensures sensitive or classified projects can stay completely off the cloud.
15. Infrastructure Compliance
Details is built on Google Cloud and Firebase infrastructure, which holds the following certifications and authorizations:
- SOC 2 Type II — Google Cloud undergoes regular third-party audits for security, availability, and confidentiality controls
- ISO 27001 — Google Cloud is certified under the international standard for information security management
- FedRAMP High — Google Cloud holds FedRAMP High authorization, meeting the security requirements for U.S. federal government workloads
- HIPAA — Google Cloud supports HIPAA compliance through Business Associate Agreements for healthcare-related data
While these certifications apply to the underlying infrastructure rather than to Details as a standalone product, they mean your firm's data is stored, transmitted, and managed on infrastructure that meets the highest industry standards for security and compliance. Details does not store Revit models, full project files, or proprietary design content in the cloud — only lightweight metadata and thumbnails needed for search and display.
