GeminiBIM Tools

Introduction

Autodesk® Revit® is a powerful tool used by architects, engineers, and designers to create detailed 3D models and documentation for building projects. However, managing view filters, modifying view templates, and ensuring correct workset usage can be time-consuming and challenging tasks. That's where GeminiBIM Tools comes in. This innovative Revit plugin offers a range of features designed to simplify these processes, saving you time and effort in your daily workflow.

Add Filters+: Enhance Visibility and Graphics Control

One of the standout features of Autodesk Revit is its view filters, which allow users to control the visibility and graphics of elements within their projects. However, manually adding or modifying filters across multiple view templates can be a daunting task. GeminiBIM's Add Filters+ add-in provides a streamlined solution to this problem.

With Add Filters+, you have a robust user interface that offers various methods to add or modify filters. You can manually create and configure filters, assigning them to multiple view templates. Alternatively, you can automate the process by copying view filters from an existing Revit template and assigning them to other templates, including all aspects of visibility control and graphical settings. This simplifies the management of view filters within your Revit project, reducing the time and effort required.

Template Transfer: Foster Consistency and Efficiency

Managing view templates in Revit can be a time-consuming task, especially when you need to ensure specific settings are consistent across multiple templates or make adjustments across numerous templates within a project. GeminiBIM's Template Transfer utility offers an intuitive and efficient method to apply changes across one or more view templates.

By specifying a source view template and the settings to transfer, you can easily modify target view templates. This utility promotes greater consistency in your project and significantly reduces the effort required to modify view templates. With Template Transfer, you can save valuable time and ensure a more streamlined workflow.

Workset Prompt: Avoid Costly Modeling Mistakes

Modeling on the correct worksets is crucial in a workshared Revit model. However, users often forget to check the active workset before starting their modeling tasks. This can lead to issues and hours of wasted labor trying to rectify items modeled on the wrong workset. GeminiBIM's Workset Prompt provides a simple and effective solution to this common problem.

With Workset Prompt, you can easily implement a plug-and-play solution that requires minimal setup or user training. After installing and activating the add-in, users will be prompted to select an active workset when opening workshared Revit models. This simple step ensures that modeling is done on the correct workset from the start, preventing costly mistakes and saving valuable time and effort.

Conclusion

GeminiBIM Tools is a game-changer for Revit users, offering a range of features that streamline your workflow and enhance your productivity. From the powerful Add Filters+ add-in to the intuitive Template Transfer utility and the essential Workset Prompt, this Revit plugin is a must-have for any architect, engineer, or designer.

By simplifying the management of view filters, providing a method for consistent template modifications, and promoting good modeling habits, GeminiBIM Tools empowers you to work more efficiently and avoid costly mistakes.
