ProxyManager

Proxy Creation and Quality Control for Revit

Built for structural and fabrication workflows. Supports Revit 2024, 2025, and 2026.

ProxyManager automates the creation of proxy family instances with extensible storage relationship tracking — and provides a dedicated QC command to detect orphaned proxies.

Key Capabilities

🧊

Proxy Creation

Create proxy family instances that represent structural or specialty elements in the model — with automatic type creation and position management from source geometry.

🗄️

Extensible Storage Tracking

Proxy-to-element relationships are persisted in Revit Extensible Storage — so associations survive model saves, reloads, and team synchronization sessions.

✔️

Quality Control Command

The QC workflow detects orphaned proxy elements — proxies whose source elements have been deleted or moved — and generates an audit report for cleanup.

🔒

Pre-Flight Validation

Comprehensive validation before execution — checks document state, transaction capability, and element availability to prevent partial or corrupted operations.

⚙️

Service-Layer Architecture

Clean separation of proxy type management, instance creation, storage, and QC logic — each handled by a dedicated service for maintainability and extensibility.

🌿

Revit 2024–2026

Supports Revit 2024 (.NET Framework 4.8), 2025, and 2026 (.NET 8.0) — compiled from a shared codebase with conditional API handling per version.

Core Commands & Services

Two ribbon commands backed by dedicated services covering the full proxy lifecycle.

Proxy Creation Command

Creates proxy family types and instances for source elements, with automatic position and parameter assignment.

Proxy QC Command

Scans the model for orphaned proxies whose source elements no longer exist, generating a detailed audit report.

Relationship Storage

Saves proxy-to-source relationships in Extensible Storage for persistent tracking across sessions and team environments.

Validation Service

Pre-flight checks on document state, element availability, and transaction capability before any operation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proxy elements are placeholder instances that represent source elements — commonly used in timber and structural fabrication workflows where DirectShape geometry or simplified representations are needed.
Relationships between proxy instances and their source elements are stored using Revit Extensible Storage — embedded directly in the model so they persist across saves, file transfers, and multi-user Workshared environments.
The QC command identifies orphaned proxy elements — proxies that have lost their relationship to a valid source element, typically because the source was deleted or the model was reorganized.
ProxyManager supports Revit 2024, 2025, and 2026 — using .NET Framework 4.8 for Revit 2024 and .NET 8.0 for Revit 2025 and 2026.

Keep Your Proxy Data Clean

Create, track, and audit proxy elements — with zero orphaned relationships.
