It helps you determine why an element may not be visible in a view, allowing for quick and efficient troubleshooting. This feature ensures that your project visualizations are accurate and error-free.

Model Compare - Tracking Project Changes

Model Compare allows you to take data "snapshots" of your project and compare the differences as the project evolves. This feature enables effective change management and collaboration, ensuring all team members are on the same page. Stay up-to-date with project modifications and easily identify any inconsistencies.

Model Dashboard - Performance Metrics at a Glance

The Model Dashboard tool provides a dashboard within your Revit model populated with performance metrics from the project. This feature helps you quickly identify any potential problems, such as open and save times, total warnings, linked elements, worksets, and more. Stay proactive in project management and resolve issues promptly.

Occupant Flow Analyzer - Optimizing Space Planning

The Occupant Flow Analyzer tool is a powerful asset for space planning optimization. It helps you determine possible paths between points, their distances, and routes affected by impassible objects. Additionally, this tool performs occupancy-related calculations, ensuring efficient space utilization.

Parameter Jammer - Streamlining Family Modifications

The Parameter Jammer tool simplifies the modification of families within your project to align with project schedules. This feature streamlines the process of making multiple family modifications, ensuring accurate data representation and reducing manual effort.

Revision Manager - Efficient Revision Tracking

The Revision Manager tool offers comprehensive revision tracking within your Revit project. It lists revision information, including view and sheet associations, and allows you to save the results to a spreadsheet file. Make revisions with ease, ensuring accurate documentation and seamless collaboration.

Room Data Sheets - Streamlining Data Documentation

The Room Data Sheets tool assists in creating datasheets for both rooms and spaces. This feature simplifies the process of documenting critical room and space data, enhancing project communication and coordination. Keep essential information organized and accessible.

Room Family Manager - Defining and Validating Family Content

With the Room Family Manager tool, defining, maintaining, and validating the family content of each room becomes a breeze. This feature enables efficient management of room type definitions, ensuring consistency and accuracy throughout your project.

Schedule XL - Seamless Data Integration

Schedule XL allows you to create one or more schedule or drafting views from spreadsheet worksheets. This feature enables automatic updates when opening the project, ensuring that your data remains up-to-date. Seamlessly integrate data from spreadsheets into your Revit project, improving data management efficiency.

Sheet Assistant - Streamlining Sheet Layout Editing

Sheet Assistant is purpose-built to edit sheet layouts, aligning multiple views across multiple sheets effortlessly. This tool assists in the view placement of multiple views, ensuring a consistent and organized sheet layout. Streamline the process of sheet creation and editing, saving time and effort.

Spreadsheet Link - Effortless Data Export and Import

The powerful Spreadsheet Link tool allows for seamless data export from Revit to a spreadsheet, enabling easy editing. Once edited, data can be loaded back into Revit without hassle. The inclusion of embedded spreadsheet functions further enhances data manipulation capabilities, all without requiring external spreadsheet software.

Spreadsheet Link Express - Streamlined Automation

Spreadsheet Link Express runs the Spreadsheet Link tool automatically, utilizing previously-saved settings. This feature further streamlines the automation of data export and import, removing unnecessary manual steps from your workflow. Spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on design and analysis.

View Creator - Consistent and Efficient View Generation

The View Creator tool empowers Revit users to quickly and consistently create views in their projects.
