Features of the BMS Plugin
The BMS plug-in consists of four main options, each designed to enhance the BMS development process within Revit:
Loading of the Local Control Panel (LCP)
The first option allows users to load the BMS main panel, known as the Local Control Panel (LCP), as a fixed plug-in family. Users can easily load and modify the LCP according to their preferences, enabling seamless integration within the Revit project.

BMS Devices Connection to BMS LCP
The second option enables users to connect various BMS devices to the LCP. These devices include a wide range of equipment such as plumbing fixtures, mechanical control devices, lighting devices, fire alarm devices, and more. By connecting these devices to the BMS LCP, users can create a comprehensive BMS system within their Revit project.
Checking Missing BMS Devices Connected to the System
The third option allows users to identify any missing BMS devices that are not connected to the system. Users can select individual devices and easily connect them to the BMS LCP, ensuring that all components are integrated seamlessly within the project.

Exporting LCP to Excel Sheet
The fourth option enables users to export the LCP data to an Excel sheet for further analysis and documentation. The exported files are conveniently stored in the project directory, making it easy to access and share the BMS information with other stakeholders.
Using the BMS Plugin
The BMS plug-in offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of developing a BMS system within Revit. Users can easily load the LCP, connect various devices, check for missing components, and export the data to Excel sheets with just a few clicks. The plugin's intuitive design and seamless integration with Revit make it a valuable tool for architects, engineers, and building managers.
