ELLAH-M: A Structural-Production Toolkit

Executive Overview

ELLAH-M is a Revit productivity add-in developed specifically for structural engineers and BIM teams. Its currently published core automates structural-column numbering, foundation and pile numbering, and two-way Excel exchange. Broader tools presented on the developer’s website extend the concept toward project setup, view and sheet creation, opening and recess modeling, and future automated pile layout.

The add-in’s central design idea is continuity across the structural workflow: marks assigned to columns can drive the identification of supporting pile caps and individual piles; selected model data can move to Excel for coordination and return to the correct Revit elements; and office standards can be reused to establish views and sheets in new projects. This makes ELLAH-M less of a general-purpose utility collection and more of a structural-production toolkit centered on numbering, information consistency, and drawing setup.

Product-status distinction: Autodesk Marketplace currently presents column numbering, foundation and pile numbering, and Excel export/import as the principal released capabilities. The developer’s version 1.3.1 website also advertises Project Setup and FastVoid as available in the trial, while some page sections still label FastVoid and automated pile layout as in development. Teams should therefore confirm the exact feature set in the installed Marketplace build before relying on website previews.

Structural Column Numbering

ELLAH-M scans structural columns, sorts them according to the chosen project logic, and writes sequential identifiers directly to Revit’s native Mark parameter. The tool is intended to replace manual renumbering across multiple levels while preserving a predictable relationship between vertically aligned structural members.

Published Capabilities

• Multi-level numbering: Columns can be numbered across the full project rather than one level at a time.
• Existing-mark continuity: The Marketplace states that the tool can continue from existing manual numbering without overwriting intentional marks.
• Preview before commit: Proposed changes can be reviewed before values are written to the model.
• Native undo: Changes support Revit’s standard Ctrl+Z undo workflow.
• Structural-category targeting: The tool is described as operating on structural columns, limiting accidental edits to unrelated architectural columns or other categories.
• Flexible scope: Developer material describes full-project, single-floor, selected-range, and manual numbering modes.
• Snake Path: A newer interactive method lets the user move the cursor over columns in the desired sequence without clicking every element. Published controls indicate Space can skip a number and Ctrl can finish the path.
• Output choice: Developer demonstration material states that Snake Path can write the sequence to Mark or Comments while maintaining vertical numbering continuity across floors.

Kobi Toolkit for Autodesk Revit: A Broad, All-in-One Productivity Suite

Summary

Kobi Toolkit for Autodesk Revit is a productivity add-in from KobiLabs designed to enhance BIM workflows, reduce repetitive tasks, and extend Revit’s native capabilities. According to KobiLabs and the Autodesk App Store listing, the toolkit includes nine toolsets and more than 40 individual tools focused on BIM management, QA/QC, analysis, reinforcement, annotation, modification, view control, selection, and content administration.

Purpose and Positioning

The toolkit is intended for Revit users who need practical utilities that save time during model setup, documentation, model checking, data editing, and content management. Rather than focusing on one narrow workflow, it functions as a broad all-in-one productivity suite for design and BIM teams. Its strongest value is in helping users complete common model-management tasks faster and with fewer manual steps.

Main Toolsets

Kobi Toolkit is organized into nine toolsets: BIM Manager, QA & QC, Analysis, Reinforcement, Annotate, Modify, View, Selection, and Content Admin Kit. This organization makes the toolkit applicable to multiple stages of a Revit project, including project setup, model production, coordination review, documentation, reporting, and content library maintenance.

Key Features

BIM Query

BIM Query is one of the toolkit’s central features. It allows users to edit type and instance properties for selected Revit categories in a spreadsheet-style interface. The built-in editor supports common Excel-like functions such as sorting, filtering, and copying parameters. Users can also export schedule or model data to Excel, update it externally, and bring the revised data back into Revit. This makes BIM Query valuable for bulk parameter editing, schedule review, model data cleanup, and reducing repetitive manual property changes.

Drafter: 180+ Productivity Scripts “By a Drafter, for Drafters”

Summary

Drafter is a Revit-focused productivity toolset designed to improve the speed, precision, and overall quality of drawing production. Created “by a drafter, for drafters,” it packages more than 180 Dynamo-based scripts into an accessible collection intended for users who want the benefits of automation without needing to learn visual programming or scripting. Its core purpose is to help teams produce cleaner, more consistent, and better-organized documentation with less repetitive manual effort.

Purpose and Design Philosophy

The tool is built around the idea that high-quality drawings depend on clarity, consistency, and attention to detail. It targets common drafting frustrations such as misaligned tags, inconsistent annotation placement, poorly organized views, and visual issues that become noticeable in exported PDFs. Rather than requiring users to build their own Dynamo workflows, Drafter turns those automations into easy-to-use tools that support everyday documentation tasks.

Key Capabilities

Drafter includes a broad set of scripts that assist with many parts of the Revit documentation process, including title lines, project browser organization, vertical views, viewports, sheets, scope boxes, title blocks, legends, schedules, revisions, text notes, tags, dimensions, filled regions, and family editor tasks. The collection is organized into 20 tool groups, making it easier for users to find scripts related to a specific type of drafting or documentation work.

Workflow Benefits

• Faster drawing production: Automates repetitive documentation tasks that would otherwise require manual setup, adjustment, or cleanup.
• Greater precision: Helps reduce visual inconsistencies such as misaligned tags, text notes, leaders, view elements, and other annotation-related issues.
• Improved consistency: Supports more standardized drawing output across sheets, views, tags, notes, dimensions, and schedules.
• Reduced need for Dynamo expertise: Gives users access to Dynamo-powered workflows through ready-made tools rather than requiring them to create scripts from scratch.
• Better documentation quality: Helps drafters and BIM teams produce drawings that appear more polished, organized, and professional.
