It’s time to modernize your firm’s detail management
Pirros is a modern approach to detail management – analyzing the thousands of new details you design every year, and aggregating the right ones into a cloud-based library of details.
Your details have the potential to be your firm’s superpower
Only a fraction of information gets captured in your firm's detail library. Pirros unlocks all the information that you currently can only access by digging through past projects.
Efficiency
Our advanced search engine allows you to search all the metadata associated with a detail to locate it in under a minute, then pull it into Revit just as quickly — no waiting for a model to open or upgrade.

Dynamo Multiplayer is a Free Autodesk® Revit® Add-In by Bird Tools. It is the ultimate universal Autodesk Revit batch processing tool, allowing the user to batch process several Revit models or families using one or multiple Dynamo scripts.
The range of functionalities offered by Dynamo Multiplayer is infinite, as the user can use it to batch export PDF, NWC, DWG, and IFC…files from Revit, to batch edit multiple Revit models, to achieve batch project setup, to batch perform quality assessment operations, to batch load families, to batch upgrade models, to batch edit families… and all of that using Dynamo, which provides the user with the highest level of flexibility. That makes Dynamo Multiplayer a universal batch processor for Revit.
Not only that, Dynamo Multiplayer takes Revit add-ins to a new unprecedented level, as it’s probably the first free non-Autodesk Revit add-in ever to support Autodesk® BIM 360®/ACC models through Autodesk Platform Services (APS, formerly Forge): the tool can batch process BIM Collaborate Pro (a.k.a BIM 360 Design) workshared models as well by retrieving them through APS, batch controlling them through the Revit API, and processing them using Dynamo.
Moreover, starting with v1.1, users can schedule automated Dynamo runs, so that multiple models can be automatically processed at a user-specified time, which can also be regular daily or weekly scheduled Dynamo runs, and starting with v2.0, those runs can also be sent to the user's Desktop as Desktop shortcuts.

Time Tracker is an application compatible with Autodesk® Revit® program, easily tracking the time spent on each of your projects in a created txt file. Turn it on once when you start working on a project and it will automatically start always when you open the project again. This tool is essential for you to keep track of your work.
After pressing the START button in the application, Time Tracker creates a txt file in which the individual days and times spent on your project are recorded. It adds up to the total work time in the last line at the bottom. There is an option to set the length of an inactive time - the time of being inactive in your project after which the recording of your work will stop automatically and it will turn on again as soon as you start working in the Revit file (e.g. if you run for lunch). Time recording can be also stopped at any time by pressing the STOP button. You can easily find and edit or delete a TXT file.

Leia is a glTF exporter for Autodesk® Revit®. Export any 3D model to use in the cloud or in any other tools.
The .glTF file format offers an extensive array of features and is compact in size, making it highly advantageous. By utilizing this plugin, you can easily transform your Revit Design into a .gLTF file format, enabling you to incorporate your Revit Model across various platforms such as Unity3D, Unreal Engine, and the Web.
In today's world, the .gLTF file format has become increasingly popular for AR/VR applications due to its rapid loading speed and minimal file size. Consequently, the output file produced by this plugin is ideal for AR/VR applications and game development platforms such as Unity.
About GlTF format:
The.glTF file format is designed to reduce the size of 3D assets and the computational resources required to unpack and utilize these assets in modern web platforms. This format is built on a royalty-free specification that allows for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by any application. With *.glTF, you can benefit from a more streamlined workflow that allows for faster loading times and improved performance, making it an excellent choice for web-based 3D applications.

The plugin allows you to align your imported or linked CAD files automatically to a fixed common point in your project.
It's built for Autodesk® Revit® users when starting a new project for saving time in aligning DWG files.
It can be difficult when aligning DWG files manually in our projects by moving each file to the target point. That repetitive work takes a lot of time and effort, especially when working on a multiple floor project. This plugin was made for that aim, with two clicks you can automatically align your CAD files by selecting the DWG file first and the reference point in the second click then all your files will be aligned in the origin of the project.
When using this Plug-in, try not to select any element other than the DWG file, anyway the plugin, in most cases, does not allow you to select other elements (beams, columns, doors ...).

Engineering On Demand puts the architect back in the driver’s seat by giving them instant feedback on HVAC space requirements. The plugin does this by producing a separate, automatically generated, HVAC model based on the architect’s model. It then imports “Placement Blocks” that represent the size and shape of the HVAC space requirements into the architectural model, which the architect can then move around the project to better fit the building.
As the project grows, changes and information is added, the architect can re-run the plugin to see the impact on the HVAC space requirements.
The plugin can be used with “rule-of-thumb” engineering values, so even if you don’t have windows or thermal properties defined yet, it can still provide a good estimate of mechanical room space requirements.
The engineer who receives the model can then use Ripple’s HVAC Toolkit to make any modifications they see fit. This fosters better communication between the architect and engineer, which leads to a smoother and quicker design process. Most importantly, it removes surprise mechanical room requirements that always seem to come at the end of the job.
