Features of Engipedia Layers Manager FREE
The Engipedia Layers Manager FREE add-in is designed to analyze all layered structures in a Revit project, specifically focusing on Ceilings, Floors, Site-Pads, Roofs, Structural Foundations, and Walls. By looking at material names and layer widths, this plugin automatically writes this information into a multiline text type parameter for each category. This makes it easier to visualize and manage layered structures within the project.
One of the key features of the plugin is the tree structure display, which organizes layered structure types, materials, and widths in a clear and intuitive manner. The use of color coding helps to identify missing materials, core layers, and structural materials easily. This visual representation makes it easy to spot any inconsistencies or errors in the layered structures.
