Empower Your Engineers to Design, Not Click
AEC teams waste thousands of billable hours on mechanical tasks: manual renumbering of elements, copy-pasting parameter values, re-exporting sheets, and searching through hundreds of warnings. Custom automation reclaims this lost time, standardizes output quality, and eliminates human error across project milestones.
Common Automation Scenarios
- Batch Sheet Creation & Export: Automatically generate hundreds of sheets with pre-aligned viewports, revisions, and PDF/DWG exports.
- Parameter Data Management: Bulk-populate COBie parameters, room associations, and asset tags from Excel spreadsheets.
- Model Health & Warning Audits: Automated reports highlighting duplicate marks, unjoined elements, and corrupt in-place families.
- Clash Matrix Reporting: Ingest Navisworks XML clash test reports, group issues by grid zone, and auto-generate Excel burndown summaries.
Technology Stack
- pyRevit: Custom toolbars and push buttons integrated directly into your team's Revit ribbon interface.
- Autodesk Revit API: Direct Python (IronPython / CPython) and C# integration for high-performance operations.
- Dynamo BIM: Visual computational graphs for complex geometry manipulation and parametric modeling.
- Python 3 & Pandas: Standalone data processing, XML parsing, and report compilation.
Agile Tool Development & Deployment Protocol
We build robust, documented tools designed to run reliably across multi-user project worksharing environments.
Workflow Discovery
Analyzing the exact manual clicks, input data, and desired output to formulate a concise programmatic specification.
Sandbox Prototyping
Developing and testing the core API transactions in an isolated sandbox to prevent unintended model database corruption.
User Interface & Error Handling
Crafting clear input dialogues, progress bars, and exception handlers that gracefully guide the user without Revit crashes.
Packaging & Training
Delivering one-click pyRevit extension installers or Dynamo packages along with video walkthroughs and user guides.
Automation Deliverables & Code Ownership
Full Source Code
Clean, thoroughly commented Python source files and Dynamo graphs delivered with unrestricted internal client usage rights.
