Convert Text To Tag
Description
This application allows Autodesk® Revit® users to convert TextNote to tag automatically by finding the shortest distance from Element to Textnote.
We have three available commands:
- TextNote To Tag Curve: Use for location-curve-elements such as wall, beam, pipe, duct.
- TextNote To Tag Point: Use for location-point-elements such as structural column, column, isolated foundation, MEP fixture.
- TextNote To Tag Boundary: Use for boundary-elements such as floor, ceiling, slab foundation.

Diffuser Pack - Space CFM To Diffusers
Description
The Space CFM To Diffusers is a tool that roundS space specified airflows based on the user input, divide, and round that flow over the corresponding diffusers based on the systematic classification of these diffusers’ systems (or connectors) and on the space they belong in. It avoidS all the arithmetic involved in this distribution and the manual modification of that flow in each diffuser, and thus maintains consistency between the specified space flows and the diffuser flows.
This tool also includes an option for automatic flow update, where the diffuser flows are automatically checked against their respective space flows every 10 seconds in the background while thus making sure that the diffuser flows are properly updated whenever new diffusers are added to space or the specified space airflow is updated by the user in a real-time way.
Diffusers To Ceilings
Description
The Diffusers to Ceilings tool detects the ceiling to which the diffuser should be moved to and moves the diffuser to its corresponding ceiling.
It supports model and linked ceilings and is able to detect the correct ceiling height and level. It proves to be crucial in several instances, especially whenever an Autodesk® Revit® link is reloaded and a ceiling has been moved up or down, and the diffuser is not ceiling or work plane based, or the diffuser is and has lost association to its ceiling.

Free Filter Isolator
Description
The plug-in is very useful to see quickly the instances of Autodesk® Revit® filters.
You can select one or more Revit filters from a grid and you can choose if you want to temporarily isolate or hide the instances of the filters in the active view.
You can change the view and maintain filter selections so you can apply your choice in every view without redefining it.
Interior Elevations Creator
Description
Our app creates contiguous interior elevations of Autodesk® Revit® sections. Some interior designers prefer to create “bands” of contiguous interior elevations, where each wall joined by the next wall. This app automates this task. User may choose a corner of the room to start creating a band from this point. Also, this app placemarks in the corners of the room and in the jointing points of the interior elevations band.

SkyCiv Plugin — Cloud Engineering Software for Structural Analysis and Design
Description
SkyCiv Plugin is an integration between Autodesk® Revit® & SkyCiv (https://skyciv.com). It helps to transform the geometry built as an analytical model in Revit to SkyCiv Platform and use all the structural analysis and design capabilities offered by SkyCiv.
After Installation, the first thing the user must do is to update the details in the Settings Dialog. If you don't have the SkyCiv Account please sign up for one (https://skyciv.com/free-signup/). Once you have signed up, head over to https://platform.skyciv.com/account/api, and get the user API Username and API Key and enter the same in the Settings Dialog on the Plugin.
Once the user prepares the model, they can use the "Export Model" functionality which will transfer all the nodes, elements, sections, materials, loads and load combinations, supports, etc. to the Structural 3D module of SkyCiv.
Users can also perform the structural analysis right there in the Revit Model environment. The user can select the "Run Analysis" by selecting any of the Analysis methods which will do the analysis on the SkyCiv's Structural 3D platform by transporting the model.
Once the analysis is complete, users can view the analysis results visualization, Reactions, Displacements, Moments, and many other parameters in Tabular Format. These results can be viewed directly in the Revit environment.
The plugin is also capable of exporting Plate Elements (slabs, floors, walls), which the analysis results are also displayed in graphical format as coloured contours on meshed diagram on the Revit analytical model itself.

View Jumper
Description
How many times have you had to scroll through the project browser looking for that 1 specific sheet or view to double click?
How many times have you tabbed through all of your open views to find that one view or worse yet, find out it wasn't even open?
That is no longer a problem!
This app is certainly a must-have for all Autodesk® Revit® users.
It allows the user to search for and jump to a specified and selected view or jump to one of your past 20 views! Simply start typing the name of the view you want to jump to and you'll see a list with that view along with suggested other views with similar naming characteristics.
