Master Revit® Workflows: Custom Toolbars (No coding)

Unfortunately, Udemy does not allow external links in lectures. We hope you find the required software using the information provided in the lecture. Otherwise, send us a message!

In this section, we introduce you on how to create a custom Revit toolbar with the workflows we will review in the course or your own Dynamo scripts.

Brief introduction to the section.

Color Elements by Parameter values in a few clicks in Revit. Create legends based on colors and add them to your Sheets!

In this video, we explain the button Color Elements by Parameter and how you can create color schemes based on parameters values in just a few clicks or use this tool to filter and find wrong/missing parameters in your models.

Generate automatically skirtings and wall tilings for your rooms in Revit.

In this video, we explain the button Create Wall Finish by Room and how you can automatically create skirtings and wall finishes (like tilings in bathrooms) by rooms.

Generate floor finishes (like tilings) based on your rooms in Revit.

In this video, we focus on the Revit button Create Floor Finish by Room and how you can automatically create floor finishes like laminates or tilings using the rooms in your model.

⇉ Align & Distribute everything in Revit like you would in Microsoft Word!

In this video, we focus on the Revit button Align / Distribute (Tag Alignment Tool) and how you can align or distribute model elements, tags, annotations (and much more) vertically or horizontally in different type of views and sheets.

Select Element/s + New 3D View = To create a new 3D View with a section box.

You can also set the 3D View side-by-side with your current view, so it doesn´t lose the focus.

In this video, we are focused on the Revit button Extended To 3D View and how you can add a side-by-side window with a 3D view with a section box with your selected elements in it (similar to Coins Auto Section Box). Additionally, you can use this button to add section boxes to 3D views fitting scope boxes or adding an offset.

Rotate / Orient the section box in your current 3D view to be aligned / parallel to your selected face or element (such as walls or floors) in Revit.

In this video, we focus on the Revit button Rotate Section Box To Face and how you can rotate / align a section box in a 3D View in Revit in just a few clicks.

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ Number rooms, grids, levels (and much more) in Revit. Select the parameter, prefix and suffix, and start picking up objects!

In this video, we explain the Revit button Numberer and how you can renumber sequences of rooms, levels, grids or spaces (actually any element in Revit).

Bulk rename (change the name) of multiple views, rooms, sheets, schedules, grids, and much more (in seconds) in Revit.

You can replace text, add a prefix or a suffix to your selection. In this video, we explain the Revit button Renamer and how you can rename multiple almost everything in Revit (rooms, levels, grids, spaces, views, ...) in seconds.

Bulk duplicate multiple sheets, schedules, groups or views (in seconds) in any Revit version. You can specify a prefix, a suffix and which elements you want to include when duplicating sheets such as legends, schedules or texts.

In this video, we explain the Revit button Duplicator and how you can duplicate views or sheets in bulk including (or not) different set of elements (like schedules, views, images, DWG, legends ...).

Brief introduction to the section.

Clean and reduce the size of your Revit models by 40%.

Unfortunately, Purge Unused Revit button only removes unused families, types and materials from a project. It does not clean within any of the model families where unnecessary nested families, views or materials often are.

In this video, we explain how you can bulk purge unused within families (views, nested families, materials, material assets, ... ) with the Revit button Purge Unused in Families of NonicaTab PRO. Depending on the model, this has reduced the file size of some of our models by 40%.

Find and clean Revit families by file size in your model in just a few clicks.

In this video, we explain how you can detect and get an ordered list of all families in your Revit model by file size and delete them if you wish. Additionaly, you can also find which of them are used or not in the model together with its file size. This can help you make a decision and dramatically reduce the file size of your Revit models.

Free up space / memory in your hard drive by deleting these Revit temporary files.

In this video, we explain how you can delete Revit temporary files from your computer (and its impact) in order to free up some memory/space in your hard drive. In just a few seconds, we freed up more than 8 GB.

Detect, Select and Delete MULTIPLE Empty Sheets in Revit in 3 clicks. Why manually selecting all empty sheets to delete them?

In this video, we explain how you can select and delete hundreds of empty sheets in just a few seconds. This can help you keep your models clean and tidy.

Get a full list of imported/linked CAD (DWG, OBJ, ...) files and their associated views.

In this video, we explain how you can detect and delete multiple imports/links placed in different Revit views in seconds. Remember to link them as view specific, so you can later check their associated views and delete them if you wish.

In this lecture, we introduce you on how to share (export and import) your custom toolbar with other computers as well as how you can make changes in other computer´s toolbars remotely.

In this lecture, we introduce you on how to keep track of the usage of your workflows in your team and how that can support your decision making. Finally, we explain how you can collect and add datasets from your team to lead the BIM automation strategy in your team.
