Make auditing your BIM data, Revit family browsing and management look easy

Having consulted Revit users from all over the world who work in lots of different types of design companies, I can say that Revit users generally face similar challenges in working with Revit families and managing projects and have needs like these:

Working with Revit families

  • A quick and easy way to modify multiple families from different locations in one go;
  • to see in one window all the changes to be applied to the families, from the addition of a new Type to a formula change inside a given parameter;
  • to check every parameter of owned families and see if there are any duplicates or typos in naming;
  • to standardize the parameter scheme in families.

ATHENA Exchange for Autodesk® Revit®

Editor's Note: This add-in was previously named Family/DWG Exporter Importer.

From the Autodesk App Store:

What does the ATHENA Exchange for Autodesk® Revit® do? 
With ATHENA Exchange for Revit, you can save Revit families including their parameters automatically as Autodesk® AutoCAD® drawings.

After you have saved the modified drawing with an index and have updated the parameters, the drawings can be imported again quickly and easily. The corresponding families and their parameters are updated.

Who needs ATHENA Exchange for Revit? 
In Revit models created by architects the window, door or facade elements are represented as "dummy" families. The planner who has to elaborate on these elements can now export the dummy families and process them in the usual AutoCAD environment with the appropriate application (e.g. ATHENA). The dummy outlines are replaced by appropriate profile outlines, etc. Optionally, the planner can also adapt the element parameters and add certain profile information. Once the elements have been elaborated, they can be imported into the Revit model. The dummy families are automatically updated with the correct profile outlines.

Supersized Product Review: CGS Revit Tools 2015

Awhile back, I published a series of posts about the CGS Revit Tools. I was invited by the developer to review the tools and post my thoughts about them on Revit Add-ons, and I finally made time to do just that.

Concept

From the vendor's website: "CGS Revit Tools enhance functionality and improve usability of Autodesk Revit Architecture, Structure and MEP resulting in more efficient project design."

Setup

I downloaded the trial from the CGS website. After providing my contact information, the site emailed me a link for the download. After the download completed, I ran the .exe file. The program installed painlessly, and the tools were in the interface when I next launched Revit.

On the downside, the trial registration process felt a little too invasive to me. Requiring a phone number in this day and age might be a little over the top. I think name, email address, company, city, state/province and country should be enough information for acquiring a trial version of any software.

The registration screen

Setup grade: B

Discoverability

Each tool has Revit-style contextual help within the interface, some with videos.
