EzAssembly

Introduction

EzAssembly is a powerful software tool designed to simplify the management of design assemblies in Autodesk Revit projects. This Revit plugin automates the duplication of views, schedules, and sheets between assemblies while preserving layout and details. With its user-friendly interface and practical CAD tools, EzAssembly enhances productivity and accuracy in CAD tasks.

Features and Functionality

EzAssembly supports a wide range of assembly views, including 3D Ortho, plan, section, elevation, part list, material takeoff, category schedule(s), and sheet (in assembly and project sheet). The plugin's latest version introduces a new Keyword functionality that allows users to create assembly views by matching keywords in view names. This feature streamlines the process and improves accuracy in generating assembly views. Additionally, EzAssembly offers practical CAD tools such as Create Assembly, Transfer Views, and Print Selection to simplify workflow and increase efficiency.

One of the standout features of EzAssembly is its Auto-Rename functionality. When an assembly is renamed, related elements such as view names, schedule names, and sheet numbers are automatically updated to maintain consistency in CAD projects. This feature ensures that all components of the assembly remain synchronized, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

Enhanced View Creation

With the introduction of the Keyword functionality, EzAssembly now allows users to create assembly views based on specific keywords in view names. This feature enables automatic identification of the appropriate view type and orientation, streamlining the view creation process. If no matching keyword is found, the project origin and view orientation will be used to generate the views. Sections A and B will be converted to Elevation Front, Back, Left, or Right depending on the orientation. However, angled elevation views are not supported.

Expanded Support for Project Schedules

In its latest version, EzAssembly has expanded its support for project schedules, allowing users to duplicate or transfer specific category or multi-category project schedules, including Conduit & Cable Tray Run Schedules. When enabled, EzAssembly will create a corresponding schedule in the project, update the assembly name in the schedule name and filters, and place the newly created schedule in the new sheet. This expanded functionality provides more versatility for users working with a variety of project schedules.

Conclusion

EzAssembly is a valuable tool for architects, engineers, and designers working with Autodesk Revit projects. Its user-friendly interface, practical CAD tools, and enhanced features make it an essential plugin for streamlining the design assembly process. By automating the duplication of views, schedules, and sheets, EzAssembly saves time and improves accuracy in CAD tasks. Whether you are creating assembly views, transferring project schedules, or printing selected sheets, EzAssembly simplifies the workflow and enhances productivity.
