Convert to Family
Each form rebuilt from its own sketch, placed exactly where it stood.
Turn Model-in-Place elements into proper, loadable families — exactly where they stood.
Turns Model-in-Place elements into proper, editable, loadable Revit families, rebuilt from their own sketches and placed exactly where the originals stood.
Each form rebuilt from its own sketch, placed exactly where it stood.
Identical copies, moved or rotated, share one family.
The whole project, or one category, in one batch.
Every Model-in-Place element, counted by category.
Keep, assign or map materials. Names never overwrite.
Validated before the original goes, with a CSV / HTML report.
Mark, Comments, phases, level and project parameters come across too. The whole run is one Ctrl+Z.

Not by itself: Revit has no command for it, and its API will not open an in-place family for editing. Revanalyticx-FC does it for you. It reads every form inside the in-place family, rebuilds each one in a real family document, loads the family back into the project and places it exactly where the original stood.
Yes. Extrusions, blends, revolutions, sweeps, swept blends and voids are rebuilt from their own sketches, so Edit Family, Edit Extrusion and Edit Sweep open the original sketch. A form that cannot be reproduced exactly is rebuilt from its exact geometry instead, and the report says which and why.
Yes. The instance is placed at the original's position, elevation, rotation and level, joined and cut with its neighbours the same way round, and checked against the original's transform, bounding box, centroid and volume before the original is removed. On Autodesk's sample projects the measured offset is zero.
You choose the category. Materials can be kept (painted faces included), replaced with one material, or mapped, and each becomes a family Material parameter you can change later. Mark, Comments, phases, level and your project parameters are carried across; anything that cannot be is listed in the report.
Convert Similar finds every identical Model-in-Place in the project, moved or rotated, with the same shape, materials and category, and gives them one shared family. A test with 100 copies produced one family. Mirrored copies deliberately get a family of their own.
Each element is converted in its own transaction: if any check fails it is rolled back and the original is left untouched. The whole run is a single undo step, so one Ctrl+Z puts everything back.
Revit 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 on Windows 10 and 11. It has its own ribbon tab, installer and licence, so it installs and updates independently of Revanalyticx 4.1 and 5.1.
