Our Newest Advertiser – CTC Software!

CTC Software has become Revit Add-ons latest advertiser, and the first to take advantage of our donation in lieu of pay offer. The offer is simple: instead of paying Revit Add-ons for advertising, donate the same amount to the charity of your choice. CTC donated to Meals on Wheels, and I must say, it made us feel good–as I'm sure it must have made them.

Our latest offer includes a 50% discount, so, if you've ever wanted to advertise on Revit Add-ons, there's never been a better time!

This is a return for CTC, as they advertised with us in the past, and we're happy to have them back! We've posted extensively about their products here on Revit Add-ons, their powerful suites, most of which include free tools. We just realized though that we've never done a product roundup of their offerings. We'll correct that oversight soon, maybe over the coming weekend. With their array of tools, it'll take awhile. Anyway, look for that in the coming days.

Welcome CTC Software, and thank you!

Want to know more about advertising on Revit Add-ons? Hit up this page. And remember, we're offering 50% off the published rates!
