About this app

Introduction

Revit is a powerful tool used by architects and engineers for building information modeling (BIM). However, even with its extensive capabilities, there are often gaps and tedious operations that can hinder the modeling process. This is where Voyansi Tools comes in, a Revit plugin designed to address these simple gaps and streamline the modeling process.

Overview of Voyansi Tools

Voyansi Tools is a set of practical tools that can be accessed within Autodesk® Revit®. The plugin offers three main categories of tools: Modeling Tools, Calculation Tools, and Scheduling Tools. Each category is designed to modify families, assign property values, and assist in schedule generation.

Modeling Tools

The Modeling Tools in Voyansi Tools aim to enhance the modeling experience by providing additional options and customization capabilities. Some notable features include:

Window Inheritance Of Exterior Wall Orientation

This tool allows the user to determine whether the orientation of a window should inherit or be independent of the host wall. This prevents situations where the window's gutter faces the interior of the building, ensuring a more accurate representation of the design.

Default Wall Join

Revit defaults the wall join style to Butt, but with this tool, users can set the default wall join mode to None, Butt, Miter, or Square Off. This allows for greater flexibility and control when creating walls, ensuring the desired join type is applied consistently.

Alignment/Rotation of Text Notes

This tool enables users to rotate Text Notes to a specified angle or align them with linear elements such as walls, slab edges, and lines. The ability to apply these adjustments to individual or multiple Text Notes allows for improved clarity and organization within the model.

Calculation Tools

Voyansi Tools' Calculation Tools provide valuable parameter values and calculations to enhance accuracy and efficiency. Some notable features include:

Area of Wall Exterior and Interior Surfaces

In Revit, the default behavior when calculating wall surface area is to assign the greater value between the exterior and interior surface areas. However, this tool creates individual parameters for both surfaces, allowing for more precise definition of exterior and interior finish areas for walls.

Areas of Stairways, Runs, and Landings

This tool provides the area in the horizontal projection of stairways, runs, and landings. By generating a parameter with the area in horizontal projection, users can accurately assess the space occupied by these elements within the model.

Metal Component Parameters

For users working with metallic components such as beams, columns, steel trusses, rebar, structural connections, and structural stiffeners, Voyansi Tools offers parameters with data related to weight, section perimeter, and surface area. This valuable information allows for more precise calculations and analysis.

Roof Dimensions

The Roof Dimensions tool provides total lengths for various roof elements, including ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, perimeter, rake, sidewall flashing, and headwall flashing. This comprehensive information assists in accurate material estimation and construction planning.

Scheduling Tools

Voyansi Tools' Scheduling Tools simplify the process of generating schedules by automating certain parameters. One standout feature is:

Door Swing Direction

A Project Parameter for the Door Category is created in the active project, indicating the door swing direction for each door instance - Right, Left, or Both. This allows for quick identification and scheduling of door swing directions, streamlining the design and construction process.
