Easy Openings

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Create openings in Walls, Slabs, Beams, Columns, Ceilings or Ceilings, to create passes for elements such as DUCTS, PIPES, TRAYS or CONDUITS, or even for families.

You can select the elements manually or in an automated bulk, reading CLASH REPORT from the Autodesk® Revit® or reading imported data from Autodesk® Navisworks®.

Also, you can tag the passes created manually or automatically in the view where you are.

Finally, you can create a detailed report with all the information of the openings created manually or automatically.

EASY OPENINGS is what you were looking for for your project.

Free Annotation Tag Controller

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Do you feel bored whenever you try to change the tag, dimension, or text notes size? Then this plug-in will help you.

For independent tags, you can't dynamically change text properties in a project. You can make a tag that has different visibility controls for different text boxes, and then make different types in the project that you can switch between. However, it will take a long time and be very complicated if you want to change the tag in multiple sizes and multiple views.

This add-in will help you do the changes super fast with just a few clicks. In addition, you can choose which tags will be changed.

For dimensions and text notes, only with one click and you will see the magic. Now, you do not need to change its size manually!

Shadow Colour

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

AgileForm Shadow Colour for Autodesk® Revit® allows you to test the impact of shadows cast by the proposed development and generate quick shadow studies images, fundamental to the municipal approvals process.

With AgileForm Shadow Colour, you can select a different colour for each element's casted shadow, which can be a Revit mass, linked CAD or any Revit component.

Main Features: 

• Organize elements by layers. for example, proposed development, approval, city context, AOR etc. 
• Get an instant preview of your study in a simple interface.
• Create an outline for shadows.
• Assign a different colour for shadows that are cast within a selected site.
• Generate shadow study images, export or place them onto a sheet.

Free Element_Level_Check

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

The tool examines selected elements with level elements inside the Autodesk® Revit® model and checks if elements' base level (shown in the properties window) is associated with the level line, which is closest to the element's bottom geometry. 

Once done, it will generate a new schedule named "QC ELEMENT LEVEL," which contains elements that need to be checked or adjusted.

Schematic Tools

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

Create a 2D schematics from your 3D model. 

A 2D diagram of a 3D model is always the easiest and quickest way to check your design.

With Schematic Tools, you can quickly create a schematic from Autodesk® Revit® models by just selecting the first piece of the system. 

You can check the flow quantity or duct velocity of your system by using this tool. The app will read the flow quantities from the air terminals and add them up through the duct system. 

The app also allows you to change model parameters through the schematic.  

You can also show the flow arrows on the schematic and get the app to place the arrows for you on the 2D view. 

By exporting the excel schedule of the ductwork system, you can calculate the pressure loss of the system. 

Place Multiple Views On Sheets

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

This tool is designed to place multiple views on sheets with a desired arrangement automatically 

This add-in will save a lot of time in the project.

Free ifc2room

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

ifc2room makes it possible to read architectural rooms (in the form of levels, room geometries, room numbers and room names) from an Ifc file and transfers them to a desired Autodesk® Revit® file.

The primary target group for ifc2room are mechanical and electrical engineers who use Revit themselves but are provided with the architectural models as Ifc files in openBIM projects. In order to generate the required MEP rooms in Revit, the HVAC engineers need a valid data set in the form of Revit architecture rooms.

This is exactly what ifc2room provides on the basis of Ifc files.
