The Power of RushForth Tools 2019

RushForth Tools 2019 offers a wide range of features that address common pain points in Revit usage. Here are some of the key functionalities:

Parameter Transformer: Advanced Filtering and Data Manipulation

The Parameter Transformer allows users to perform advanced filtering of elements based on parameter or property values. This feature enables professionals to synchronize element data with Excel for advanced manipulation, concatenation, and calculations. Additionally, the Parameter Transformer allows users to find and replace text in parameter values, edit Key Schedules using Excel, and purge categories or filtered selection out of a model, saving valuable time and effort.

Parameter Scheduler: Simplifying Family Compatibility

The Parameter Scheduler instantly makes families compatible with standard schedules and tags. By selecting a preset parameter list, users can ensure that their families are ready for scheduling and tagging. This feature also enables the import/export of shared parameters to/from families or projects, automatically adds missing shared parameters to scheduled elements, and batch processes multiple families. With the Parameter Scheduler, professionals can streamline the process of making downloaded content compatible with preset schedules and tags, ultimately enhancing productivity.

Parameter Linker: Establishing Connections Between Elements

The Parameter Linker allows users to link parameter values between elements and between linked models. This feature is particularly useful for linking detail items on a Revit Diagram to the floor plan equipment they represent. Additionally, the Parameter Linker enables the linking of non-schedulable parameters and properties to parameters that can be scheduled or tagged. What sets this feature apart is its accessibility to non-licensed users, who can maintain existing links in smart models without having to purchase the software.

DraftXL: Streamlining Excel Integration

With DraftXL, Revit users can import Excel tables into drafting views while preserving fonts and formatting. This feature simplifies the management and updating of imported Excel tables within Revit. By seamlessly integrating Excel and Revit, DraftXL enhances collaboration and data management.

3D Sections: Simplifying 3D Visualization

RushForth Tools 2019 allows users to quickly create 3D views for selected regions, elements, levels, or the ceiling space of the current level. This feature enables professionals to easily visualize and coordinate all elements and worksets, improving project coordination and communication.

Project Setup: Automating View and Sheet Creation

Automated view and sheet setup is made possible with the Project Setup feature. Users can automatically create views and sheets based on the number of levels in their project and their templates. This feature also allows for the creation of dependent views from scope boxes or matching settings in a linked model, copying elements from linked models, creating unplaced rooms or placeholder sheets from Excel lists, and automatically placing new or existing views onto desired sheets. With Project Setup, professionals can efficiently set up their projects, saving time and effort.

Ray Cast Tools: Precise Element Placement

The Ray Cast Tools feature automates the placement of element instances on walls, ceilings, and floors of multiple spaces in chosen directions. It also enables the placement of element instances around the perimeter of selected spaces at desired intervals. Furthermore, this feature allows for the movement of selected elements to the closest wall, ceiling, or floor. By simplifying element placement, Ray Cast Tools improves accuracy and precision in Revit models.
