P.I.G. is a beautifully simple app.  Its main function is to create a consistent & clear preview image for your open Revit family

You can literally install the app and immediately enjoy its benefit without needing to perform any customization.  However, because most libraries of content are cluttered with families with unrecognizable images, you'll want to clean those up first. The process to convert files works like this:

1. Log in with your account - You will need to log in with your account credentials before having access to the features. See the next section (Installation / Uninstallation)
2. Configure Settings - The default settings should allow for nice preview images, but should you want specific categories to appear differently you can change the settings easily from the settings menu. 
   • Your settings are automatically synchronized to your account in the cloud.  If you have purchased a site license, all users can be easily set up to share the same settings.
   • You may choose category-specific settings for 3D categories only.  2D categories in Revit, inherently, have few options for visibility so P.I.G. utilizes default settings for them.
3. Process individual families - these can be processed manually by clicking on the 'Update Preview' button in the Add-in ribbon.  This essentially saves the family to its current location with an updated preview image.

P.I.G. conveniently utilizes a streamlined .msi installer.  The installation will register as an installed Windows application and can, therefore, be easily uninstalled from within the Add/Remove Programs function of Windows.

When installing, you will be presented with two options: Make available for All Users on the PC or only to the Current User.  Regardless, all users will need to activate P.I.G. prior to using. 

New accounts can be created directly from within Revit when a feature of P.I.G. is first used.  When a new account is created, an email will be sent to the address provided.  Users must click the 'confirm email address' link before features of P.I.G. will be available.  This will enable the feature set within the 'Free Version'.

Free Versions can be converted to paid 'Batch' versions by making a purchase.  If the purchase is made using the email address present on a Free account, that account will automatically be converted to Batch the next time Revit is started.

There are no known issues with this release.
