About this app
Revit is a powerful software tool used by architects, engineers, and designers to create detailed 3D models and documentation for building projects. While it offers a wide range of features, sometimes you may find yourself wanting more efficiency and ease of use when it comes to creating and managing views. This is where the Magic Views plugin comes in.
Introducing Magic Views
Magic Views is comprised of three innovative tools: Magic Section, Magic 3D Box, and Pangolin Magic. Each tool addresses specific needs and provides a seamless experience within the Revit environment.

Magic Section: Fast and Easy Section Views
If you have ever struggled with creating section views in Revit, Magic Section is here to save the day. This tool allows you to create and show section views on the screen with incredible ease and speed. Whether you are in a plan view or even if the sections are hidden, Magic Section has got you covered.
With Magic Section, you can simply pick the start point, end point, and depth directly on the screen, and the tool will generate a new section and display it instantly. No more wasting time waiting for views to load or dealing with default depth settings that are too large for your needs.
What sets Magic Section apart is its ability to reuse and move the same section that was originally generated. This feature ensures consistency and saves you from the hassle of recreating sections every time. It's a game-changer for anyone working with multiple sections in their projects.

Magic 3D Box: Streamlined 3D Section Views
Creating 3D section views in Revit can sometimes be a complex process, but not with Magic 3D Box. This tool simplifies the creation and display of 3D section boxes, making it easier than ever to visualize your designs from different angles.
Whether you are working in a plan view, section view, or elevation view, Magic 3D Box works seamlessly. Simply pick a rectangular box on the active view, and Magic 3D Box will automatically generate and display the resulting 3D section box on the screen. It's a straightforward process that saves you time and effort.
One notable advantage of Magic 3D Box is that it eliminates the need to select elements prior to running the add-in, unlike the native "Selection box" command. This makes the workflow smoother and more efficient, allowing you to focus on your designs without unnecessary steps.

Pangolin Magic: Hotkey Your Way to Efficiency
When working on a project, you often find yourself repeatedly accessing specific views. This is where Pangolin Magic comes in handy. With its Hotkey to View feature, you can define 10 different hotkeys to instantly jump to your most relevant views with a single click.
Gone are the days of scrolling through a long list of views or navigating through complex menus. Pangolin Magic brings efficiency to the forefront, allowing you to access your preferred views instantly. Whether it's a floor plan, a section view, or a 3D representation, you can set up your hotkeys and navigate through your project with ease.
It's worth noting that Magic Views is compatible with Autodesk Revit versions 2020 to 2024. This means you can seamlessly integrate it into your current workflow without any compatibility concerns.
