Drawing production and model QC for Revit
Revit Tools for Autodesk® Revit®
Nine tools that check tags against schedules, count devices by sheet, find open duct and pipe ends, set up sheets, align viewports and fill title block fields. Every edit is previewed first and runs as one undo step.

The problem
Getting a Revit set ready to issue is a lot of small checking and clerical work. Most of it is not engineering, and most of it is done by hand.
- A tag on the plan and a row in the schedule disagree, and nobody notices until a markup comes back.
- Sheets are created and renamed one at a time, and viewports drift out of position between sheets.
- Counts for a quote or a coordination meeting are made by hand, and a device on two sheets gets counted twice.
- Model housekeeping problems are spread across views, worksets and warnings, with no single list.
Revit Tools puts each of these in one window or one report, and shows you the change before it makes it.
The nine tools
They appear on a Revit Tools tab in Revit, grouped into MEP QC, QC, Sheets and Standards panels. Reports can be exported to Excel.
-
Tags and Schedules Check
Finds tags with no schedule row, schedule rows with no tag, untagged elements, duplicate and blank marks, and near matches, against a Revit schedule or an Excel schedule. Fixes are previewed first: tag untagged elements, set marks from the Excel schedule, renumber duplicates. It never deletes or moves anything.
-
Device Count
Counts air devices, plumbing fixtures and equipment by type or tag, per sheet without double counting, per level or per view.
-
Open Ends
Lists every open duct, pipe and fitting connector in the model, with zoom-to, and an Accepted sign-off for the ones that are meant to be open.
-
Model QC
One report of views not on sheets, empty sheets and schedules, sheets with no title block, imported CAD, elements on the wrong workset, untagged elements per view, duplicate marks, in-place families and warnings by type. Fixes for worksets, CAD pins and duplicate marks are previewed first. It never deletes.
-
Sheet Creator
Creates sheets from a list pasted from Excel, Word or text, renames and renumbers sheets in bulk, and builds a drawing index.
-
Title Block Fill
Fills project, sheet and title block fields across all sheets from a grid or an Excel file.
-
Viewport Align
Aligns plan viewports across sheets by model position, so grids line up, or by box. It saves positions per title block and checks for overlaps.
-
View Placer
Places drafting views, details, legends and schedules that are on no sheet in neat rows on the sheets you pick, or on new sheets. It shows a diagram of each sheet first and never moves or deletes anything already on a sheet.
-
Style Cleanup
Maps non-standard text and dimension types to your office standard, using a standard file you keep for your office.
How it treats your model
- Every tool that changes the model shows a preview first, listing each change with its old and new value and each element it will skip, with the reason.
- Each change you apply is one undo step.
- In a workshared model it skips elements owned by other users and tells you which.
- It never deletes your content. It does not edit model geometry.
- If Revit reports an error in the middle of a change, the change is rolled back.
What it does not do
Revit Tools does no engineering calculations and no code-compliance checks: no airflow, sizing, velocity, friction, fixture units or slope. It reads, counts, compares and organizes drafting and documentation data, and edits only that.

FAQ
When is it available?
It is coming soon. There is no date yet. Email support@selfsamelabs.com and you get one email when it is released.
Does it do any engineering calculations?
No. It does not calculate airflow, sizing or anything else, and it does not check code compliance. It works on tags, sheets, views, schedules and model housekeeping.
Will it change my model without asking?
No. Every tool that edits shows a preview first and asks you to confirm. Each applied change is one undo step.
Does it work in workshared models?
Yes. It skips elements owned by other users and lists them with the reason.
Does it need Excel?
No. Excel is not needed to import or export.
Does it work in Revit LT?
No. Revit LT does not load add-ins like this. Full Revit 2023 to 2027 is supported.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The license is checked on your computer. An optional update check can be turned off.
