ToolBox

Introduction

Revit users are always on the lookout for tools that can streamline their workflow and increase productivity. The ToolBox plugin offers a comprehensive set of tools designed to enhance the functionality of Revit in various disciplines including MEP, piping, ducting, electrical, structural, coordination, and scheduling.

Features and Benefits

One of the standout features of the ToolBox plugin is the MEP group, which includes tools for connecting MEP elements and splitting ducts and pipes. This simplifies the process of creating complex MEP systems, saving time and effort for designers and engineers.

In the piping group, users can benefit from tools for riser connections at 90 and 45 degrees, sizing fire networks, and adding pipe supports. These tools make it easier to design and coordinate piping systems, ensuring accurate and efficient installations.

The ducting group offers tools for setting the value of ASHRAE losses and adding duct supports, while the electrical group includes features for flipping families, converting detail lines to wires, and adding tray supports. These tools enhance the functionality of Revit for electrical and ducting design, helping users create precise and detailed models.

The structural tools in the ToolBox plugin allow users to join elements, create MEP openings, and use coordination tools such as zoom, 3D box, and ID labeling of linked elements. These features facilitate the coordination of structural and MEP systems in a single model, improving overall project efficiency.

Additionally, the plugin offers tools for batch editing parameters, transferring shared parameters, and extracting and filtering data in schedules. These features enable users to quickly edit and organize project data, saving valuable time during the design and documentation phases.

Conclusion

The ToolBox plugin for Revit is a valuable addition to any designer or engineer’s toolkit, offering a wide range of tools to enhance productivity and efficiency in various disciplines. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive set of features, this plugin is a must-have for anyone looking to streamline their workflow and create high-quality models in Revit.
