Pirros - A Novel Revit Detail Library Approach

Last year, Lake|Flato implemented Pirros, a novel detail library platform. It is a curated detail library like the others that might come to mind, but it has another side to it that opens up a whole new world of efficiency and inspiration.

In today's post, I will share how our design technology work and research program crossed paths to help bring this optimal solution to fruition within the practice. Plus, you will learn a little about the process of testing and implementing a new product.

In this post, I will share the obvious reason Autodesk implemented this and how it is intended to work (which worked as intended in my tests).
