About this app
Are you tired of manually calculating the total length of conduit or cable tray runs in Autodesk Revit? Look no further than the redesigned Run Lookup plugin, a streamlined add-in that simplifies this process for you. In this review, we will explore the features of Run Lookup and why it can be a valuable tool for Revit users.
Features of Run Lookup
Run Lookup is designed to make your workflow more efficient by automating the calculation of total run lengths for selected conduit or cable tray runs. One of the key features of this plugin is its ability to factor in angle bends in its calculations, ensuring accurate results even in scenarios where the length or angle of a conduit run may be constrained.
With Run Lookup, you can quickly determine the total run length for various systems, including conduits without fittings, bends (elbows), cable trays without fittings, horizontal bends, vertical inside bends, and vertical outside bends. This versatility makes Run Lookup a valuable tool for a wide range of projects in Autodesk Revit.

Improved Accuracy
One of the major improvements in the redesigned version of Run Lookup is the focus on accuracy. The developers have identified that the lengths of 'Conduit with Fittings' and 'Cable Tray with Fittings' were inaccurate in the previous version, leading to potential errors in calculations.
As a result, the support for these families has been discontinued in the latest version of Run Lookup to ensure that users can rely on accurate results. This commitment to accuracy is a key reason why Revit users should consider using Run Lookup for their projects.

Streamlined Workflow
Run Lookup simplifies the calculation of total run lengths by utilizing the Revit Run Schedule to extract the length, inclusive of any fittings of the type 'ELBOW'. This automation saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your project without getting bogged down in manual calculations.
If you require an add-in to streamline the use of the run schedule in Revit, the developers recommend their Data Ctrl app. This solution is designed to work seamlessly with Run Lookup, further enhancing your workflow and productivity in Autodesk Revit.
