POWERFUL FEATURES
for efficient document generation & management

Discover a better and faster way of working in Autodesk Revit. This toolset plugin saves you lots of time on tasks that can be done automatically.

Views

• Automatically creates views for selected elements that are fully measured and tagged according to settings.
• Assigns view templates, view types, crop sizes and more. Renames views as needed.
• Creates views for individual or multiple elements based on the selection boundary.
• View creation settings can be saved and reused multiple times.

Assembly Views

• Creates Assemblies with corresponding element views for walls, structural walls, structural framing, columns, beams, foundations, rebar hosting elements, etc.
• Created Assembly Views can be automatically dimensioned. Plugin distinguishes what must be measured, where to snap for dimensioning strings, and location of measurement lines. Option to add notes.
• Creates gravity point (center of gravity).
• Assigns view templates, view types and more. Adjusts view rotation, assembly alignment, and section position in a view.
• Creates different schedules according to schedule templates automatically.
• Creates tags with notes in selected views automatically.
• Automatically places created views, schedules on sheets according to Sheet Template selection.
• Assembly creation settings can be saved and reused multiple times.

Predefined Dimensions

• Apply dimensioning rules to any Revit view or selected elements in a view.
• Dimensions selected elements in a view. Distinguishes what must be measured, where to snap for dimensioning strings, and location of measurement lines. Option to add notes.
• Measures Linked elements from linked models.
• Filtering provides flexibility for dimensioning in Revit.
• Options to join selected dimension lines.
• Predefined dimension configurations can be used separately or together with Views and Assemblies configurations.

Quick Dimensions

• Automatically adds dimensions and dimension chains based on predefined configurations for architectural, structural, or mechanical element categories.
• Create rule-based wall dimension chains, including grid lines, intersecting walls, openings, and corners to represent plan views.
• Creates several dimension chains for different references in just a couple of clicks.
• Joins separate dimensions into a dimension chain.

Numbering & Tags

• Combine any different family parameter segments to create a specific mark or number.
• Automatically tag elements in views, filter the elements that need to be tagged, and control tag positions, offsets, and more.
• Element marks, numbers, or any other parameter values can be used for tagging smartly by filtering elements and avoiding tag overlaps.
• Automatically tracks positions of grid lines and logically renumbers them.
• Create new or select existing parameters to determine and enter door swing direction right away.
• Apply real coordinate or elevation height values for elements of any category.

Images

• Generate unique QR/Barcodes for any element to carry information associated with it.
• Create different sizes of QR/Barcodes, which will be saved on your workstation.
• Makes automatic rebar images containing rebar segment values.

Legends & Data

• Tables, such as technical specifications or element information sheets, can be automatically created in legend views.
• Flexible rules for legends include showing one or more views of objects, inserting realistic element images, and creating vertical or horizontal listings.
• Combines different family categories into one legend, for example, doors and windows.
• Automatically splits legends into several pages.
• Features can be applied to linked projects.
• Imports MS Excel spreadsheets into Revit projects, including style settings. Optionally, apply Revit style settings, and distribute across sheets in Revit.
• Tracks changes automatically and updates spreadsheets accordingly.

Sheets

• Creates and controls a large number of sheets with a high level of automation.
• Distributes any Revit views on sheets with predefined placement rules.
• Uses the same view positions, graphics, crop information, and scale for the same type of sheets in a project.
• Adds new views and manages distribution on sheets.
• Quickly updates sheet parameters and replaces views, legends, and schedules with new ones.

Smart Documentation automates manual work by using predefined configurations. It creates an XML configuration file that can be stored in a set location for use in future Revit projects or for sharing with other Revit users. This toolset offers multiple configuration types for different purposes and can crop views to match the element size.

Both standalone and network license types of software licenses are available.
