Families and BIM objects
Where can I sell Revit families? What the object libraries keep
Updated
A family library is a firm's own product, and the places that list families each set terms on what they may do with it. Before a buyer for AI training sees it, read what the library already holds.
Does the library claim the families you upload?
BIMobject says it does not claim any ownership rights in what you hold in a project, so the families you upload stay yours on its terms.

The Autodesk App Store's publisher agreement says that, as between the parties, the publisher owns all right, title and interest in its assets, and NBS says it acquires no title to the data a user uploads to its products.

Do the libraries keep statistics on your objects?
BIM&CO says it collects anonymous, aggregated data that can include information on BIM objects and projects, and uses it for analysis, statistics and improving its services.

Can you get the files back if you close the account?
BIMobject says a closed account is disabled and you may not be granted access to its files. Keep your own copy of every family before you list it anywhere.
