Free BIMicon Toolbar — A Suite of Tools

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

BIMicon Toolbar for Autodesk® Revit® has been designed for professionals in the AEC industry to quickly document and coordinate construction drawings. 

Among the many tools that help with common tasks are:

  • Create interior elevation markers by selecting rooms and place the newly created views on sheets. It will completely remove the tedious task of manually placing interior elevation markers and dragging these views onto sheets.
  • Duplicate sheets
  • Place active view on sheets
  • Create floors following room boundaries, allowing to instantly create floor finishes.
  • Number family instances sequentially following a selected curve; parking spaces, rooms, or any family instance with a parameter. Never again number them manually one by one!
  • Number doors and windows after room numbers. In a few clicks, you will number all doors and windows after a standard naming system. The benefits are a coherent drawing set, and doors and windows can be easily identified in schedules.
  • Create an Excel table with all the warnings classified in order of importance. It allows team members to focus on critical warnings that affect the integrity of the documentation and the performance of the model instead of trying to fix all trivial warnings.
  • Open a project, workshared or single user, with all selected types of links unloaded. The ability to open a file with Revit file links unloaded can reduce the initial loading time by more than 90%.

There are many more useful tools in the toolbar. Please check the documentation page for more information.

Thanks for looking for better ways to extract value from BIM.

Realtime Toolkit

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Realtime Toolkit is a suite of utilities that automate common tasks in Autodesk® Revit®. Individually, these tasks are simple and mundane, however they are time-consuming, error-prone, and tedious. Moreover, they are tasks that most Revit users will (or should) carry out on a regular basis. Development of Autodesk® AutoCAD® utilities is ongoing and will be released at a future date.

The tools deliberately avoid high-end BIM analysis and functionality. From experience managing some of the largest mandated BIM projects in the world, significant inefficiencies and losses occur at the desktop, with the individual Revit user. This is a major point of neglect in the deliverables supply chain. We have designed Realtime Toolkit to equip each Revit user with the ability to quickly, easily, and accurately carry out repetitive tasks in order to save time and improve quality.

These savings are real, ongoing, and by virtue of being per user, will reduce documentation costs, to the delight of the Project Manager. Additionally, CAD-BIM Managers have full visibility of all Revit users, their files and system through the Revit Data Collector tool. Aside from Revit user and Revit file information, this tool records opening and closing file sizes and times. Most managers running design teams will have encountered the situation where a Revit project file goes rogue, and determining where, when who, and how is a time-consuming art. The Revit Data Collector will tell the CAD-BIM Manager exactly when a file changed significantly. The data can be imported into any system for analysis and graphing; it could be used to present a project’s health timeline.

All tools have a uniform interface, and are intuitive to use. The functions (and benefits) will be obvious to even inexperienced Revit users. All tools have an option to write a log file of the results.
