XYZ Coordinates

Revit is a widely used software in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries, known for its powerful modeling capabilities. However, when it comes to extracting and scheduling coordinates, Revit can sometimes fall short. That's where the XYZ Coordinates plugin comes in, providing a solution to this common challenge.

Efficient Coordinate Extraction

The XYZ Coordinates app is designed to extract and schedule the X, Y, Z, Easting, and Northing coordinates from selected Autodesk Revit model elements. With the 2015 version, users can extract these coordinates from the "Structural Column" and "Foundation" categories. However, the 2016, 2017, and 2018 versions have expanded capabilities, enabling the extraction of coordinates from a wider range of selected model elements.

Within the limitations of Revit family categories, the app can seamlessly work with categories such as Doors, Windows, Columns, Electrical Fixtures, Furniture, Room, Lighting Fixtures, and more. It adds a set of shared parameters to each element in the selection list and transfers the coordinate data to these parameters. This ensures that the coordinate information is easily accessible and can be utilized for further analysis, documentation, and coordination purposes.

Improved Workflow and Flexibility

One of the key advantages of the XYZ Coordinates plugin is its ability to integrate seamlessly into your Revit workflow. By automating the process of extracting and scheduling coordinates, it eliminates the need for manual calculations and data entry. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error, ensuring accurate and reliable coordinate data.

Furthermore, the app provides flexibility by allowing users to update the location of objects and then re-running the app to obtain the updated coordinates. This dynamic feature ensures that the coordinate data remains up to date, reflecting any changes made in the model. It empowers users to make informed decisions based on the most current information available.

Easy to Use and Trial Period

The XYZ Coordinates app is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its intuitive interface and straightforward functionality make it accessible to both beginners and experienced Revit users. The app seamlessly integrates within Revit, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.

For those who are interested in trying out the app, there is a trial period of 15 days. This trial period allows users to fully explore the functionality of the app and determine whether it meets their specific needs. It is an excellent opportunity to test the app's compatibility with the desired category or element and assess its effectiveness in extracting and scheduling coordinate data.

Conclusion

The XYZ Coordinates plugin fills a crucial gap in Revit's capabilities by providing an efficient and user-friendly solution for extracting and scheduling coordinates. Its ability to automate the process, integrate seamlessly into the Revit workflow, and update coordinates dynamically makes it a valuable tool for architects, engineers, and construction professionals.

With its expanded capabilities in the 2016, 2017, and 2018 versions, the app offers increased flexibility and compatibility with a wider range of model elements. The trial period allows users to explore its functionality and determine its suitability for their specific needs.

If you frequently work with coordinate data in Revit, the XYZ Coordinates plugin is definitely worth a try. It streamlines your workflow, enhances accuracy, and saves valuable time. Give it a go and unlock the full potential of your Revit projects!
