This feature saves you valuable time and effort by automating the upgrade process, allowing you to focus on more important tasks. Whether you are working on a single project or multiple projects, the Batch File Upgrader is a handy tool to have in your toolkit.

Draw Spreadsheet

The Draw Spreadsheet tool allows you to import and insert/link MS Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xls, or .csv) into Revit Drafting Views without linking to Revit Schedules. This feature is perfect for designers who need to incorporate spreadsheet data into their Revit models seamlessly. With the Draw Spreadsheet tool, you can easily integrate external data sources into your designs, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of your workflows.

Autodesk® Navisworks® Clash Navigator

The Autodesk® Navisworks® Clash Navigator tool enables you to manage Navisworks clashes directly in Revit, without the need for Navisworks. By using a Navisworks Clash report generated through Navisworks, you can easily find and solve model clashes directly in the Revit environment, using the Clash Navigator. This feature simplifies the clash management process, allowing model coordinators to address issues efficiently and effectively.

Watermark

With the Watermark tool, you can assign unremovable watermarks to Revit content to help protect your intellectual property. This tool is essential for designers who want to safeguard their work and verify ownership of their designs. The Watermark tool includes options to add the company name, company logo, company website link, and the date of the Watermark, providing a comprehensive solution for protecting your valuable assets.

Change Analysis

The Change Analysis tool allows you to perform advanced analyses between two versions of the same model. With change analysis, you can choose which elements to compare and what tolerances to verify, enabling you to track and manage model changes effectively.
