Introduction

As professionals in the AEC industry, we are always looking for ways to streamline our workflow and improve efficiency in our projects. The BIMicon Toolbar for Autodesk® Revit® is a powerful plugin designed to help us quickly document and coordinate construction drawings. With a range of tools to automate common tasks, this plugin is a valuable asset for anyone working with Revit.

Features and Benefits

The BIMicon Toolbar offers a variety of tools to simplify and speed up the drawing process. One standout feature is the ability to create interior elevation markers by selecting rooms and automatically placing the newly created views on sheets. This eliminates the need for manually placing markers and dragging views onto sheets, saving time and reducing errors.

Another useful tool is the ability to duplicate sheets with ease, as well as placing the active view on sheets effortlessly. This feature is particularly handy when working on large projects with multiple sheets, as it allows for quick duplication and organization of views.

One of the most time-saving tools in the BIMicon Toolbar is the ability to create floors following room boundaries. This feature allows for instant creation of floor finishes, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring accuracy in the drawing set.

Additionally, the plugin offers the ability to number family instances sequentially following a selected curve, such as parking spaces, rooms, or any family instance with a parameter. This eliminates the tedious task of numbering instances manually, resulting in a more organized and coherent drawing set.

Furthermore, the BIMicon Toolbar includes tools to number doors and windows after room numbers, following a standard naming system. This allows for easy identification of doors and windows in schedules and ensures consistency throughout the project.

Another valuable feature is the ability to create an Excel table with all warnings classified in order of importance. This allows team members to focus on critical warnings that affect the integrity of the documentation and model performance, instead of spending time on trivial issues.

Lastly, the plugin offers the option to open a project, workshared or single user, with all selected types of links unloaded. This can significantly reduce the initial loading time of a file with Revit file links unloaded, saving time and improving productivity.
