Consistent Family Thumbnails

Per-Category Overrides

Different settings for Doors, Trusses, Title Blocks. Override rows scanned in order - first match wins.

Batch Folder Processing

Process hundreds of .rfa files unattended with Pause / Resume / Cancel. Upgrade prompts batched up-front.

13 Hide-Element Toggles

Hide dimensions, reference planes, text notes, flip controls, host elements and more from previews.

PNG Export

Write `{FamilyName} - {View}.png` alongside the .rfa for content-library systems. Square or native aspect.

Firm-Wide Settings Sync

One `thumbgen-settings.json` on a network share. Every user pulls the same firm rules. Local cache wins offline. Pro only.

Every Family Category Covered

Each family is classified as 3D or 2D, then routed through the matching view pipeline.

3D

3D Families

Casework, Columns, Doors, Furniture, Lighting Fixtures, Plumbing Fixtures, etc. - Isometric view pipeline.

How It Works

1

Configure Default Appearance

Set your 3D default (view, visual style, detail, scale) and your 2D default. Two rows cover most families.

2

Add Per-Category Overrides

Doors need a different angle? Trusses need Shaded not Realistic? Add an override row per category that needs it.

3

Apply or Batch Folder

Hit Apply on a single family in the editor, or point Batch Folder at a library root and let it run unattended.
