Easy PDF Print

From the Autodesk App Store:

In most of the projects, you need to export multiple sheets to pdf and the output file name for each sheet should follow a naming convention. In practice, this is very time consuming and increases the likelihood of errors.

Also, the paper size and orientation of the output files may vary for different sheets, so it will take a long time to adjust them manually in large projects.

This plugin does the above for you easily. You could use the following pdf print drivers:

• Adobe PDF
• novaPDF
• Microsoft Print to PDF
• PDFCreator
• PDF24
• Bullzip PDF Printer

In the next revisions, other pdf drivers may be added.

It is recommended to set the preferences of the selected PDF driver from "Printers & scanners" in the Windows setting before using it inside the plugin, e.g. the output path.

For PDFCreator, PDF24, and Bullzip PDF Printer, you could change preferences by using their settings application.

For PDFCreator and Bullzip PDF Printer file naming process doesn't work properly, because of their built-in settings.

AutoCT – Auto Cable Trays; Automatic Containment Sizing for Electrical Circuits

From the Autodesk App Store:

AutoCT is shorthand for Automatic Containment sizing.

Our Autodesk® Revit® add-in automatically routes electrical circuits from start to endpoint along cable tray routes and automatically checks the containment size.

How does the software work?

Using filters created in the model, the software finds the nearest appropriate cable containment to both the start and end of the circuit and finds the path between them.

The cable sizes, cable types, configuration, spacing, etc. can be imported from the model or entered in our cable schedule.

The software gathers the calculated results and displays a 3D view of the fill factors for each containment - easily showing problem areas.

Key Features:

• The calculation is fast and can easily update with circuit or model changes.
• The software models circuits as accurately as possible - with options for different wire types, circuit configurations, grouping and methods of support.
• Works with unconnected cable tray networks - The software can find the nearest appropriate cable tray type and continue its calculations.
• Error checking is built-in - unconnected networks, zero diameter circuits, circuits with no panels, circuits with no filters, etc.

Free Quick Select By Filter

From the Autodesk App Store:

Reduce your time in selecting elements and deleting multiple filters:

• The tool helps Autodesk® Revit® users to select elements quickly by filters. It can also help Revit users delete multiple filters in just one click.
• The tool is independent with Revit Commands, so Revit users can open it and work with all Revit Commands at the same time.
• It is also available to display the addin window always on top of Revit.
• This tool is available for Autodesk® Revit® 2017-2020. The new version will be updated along with new Revit Version.

This tool is totally free, simply install and enjoy the app! If this tool is helpful for you, you can donate me a cup of tea.
