Realtime Toolkit

Realtime Toolkit

Win64, English

Realtime International
This is a suite of utilities (tools) that automate common tasks in Autodesk® Revit®. Individually, these tasks are simple and mundane, however, they are time-consuming, error-prone, and tedious.

General Usage Instructions

Realtime Toolkit was designed to equip each Revit user with the ability to quickly, easily, and accurately carry out repetitive tasks in order to save time and improve quality. These savings are real, ongoing, and by virtue of being per user, will reduce documentation costs, to the delight of the Project Manager.

All tools have a uniform interface and are intuitive to use. The functions (and benefits) will be obvious to even inexperienced Revit users. All tools have an option to write a log file of the results.

Commands

Ribbon/Toolbar Icon Command Command Description

Data Logger

This tool collects data from each Revit user to enable CAD-BIM Managers to find bottlenecks in their system. User/workstation details, file names, opening/closing file size, opening/closing times, Revit version/build, and more. The output file(s) can be opened in Excel for analysis and graphing. The CAD-BIM Manager can control all user options from one place.

Purge Tools

Prepare the project for sharing with consultants by cleaning unused/unreferenced elements. Purge rooms, areas, scope boxes, etc. Remove DWG imports and links, image files, Revit links and more. Includes Element Killer for the rare case where an element cannot be deleted but causes a failure when loading to Revit Server.

Pin Tools

Protect the project from mistakes by pinning critical element categories (levels, links, grids, etc). Extra features of this simple but invaluable tool include: unpin by category and select (show) all pinned elements.

Line Style Tools

Ever needed to clean out 100s or 1000s of rogue line styles/patterns, particularly leftovers from a DWG import? Then you know that Revit has no multi-select, and each pattern needs to be individually selected, deleted and confirmed. This tool enables you to bulk purge, filter selection, view system line styles, remove DWG lines, and rename line styles and patterns.

Parameter Tools

Have you ever needed to add several parameters to every element in multiple project files? Aside from the time it takes to do this one by one, what about omissions or mistakes? This tool will bind multiple parameters from a shared parameter file to multiple categories, in seconds. Filter selection by a text search feature.

Family Library Tools

Option to Import, Export or Batch Export 1. Import all families from a library folder to standardize a project or template. Filter selection by a text search feature. Option to include source sub-folders and/or overwrite existing families. 2. Create a family library by exporting all loaded families from a Revit project file to a category-based folder structure. Filter selection by a text search feature. Option to include sub-folders and/or overwrite. 3. Create a family library by batch exporting all loaded families from multiple Revit projects to a category-based folder structure. Filter selection by a text search feature. Option to include sub-folders and/or overwrite.

Upgrade Tools

Batch upgrade Revit projects, families, and templates to your current version. Select destination folder, optionally add Year sub-folder. Processing can include source sub-folders and will retain folder structure. Filter selection by a text search feature.

MDI Importer

Create Revit sheets and populate or maintain title block information from an Excel spreadsheet. Quoting Mervyn Richards (Building Information Management - A Standard Framework and Guide to BS1192), "A Master Document Index (MDI) should be produced at the start of the contract. The Design Coordinator or Manager or the CAD Coordinator or Manager should establish the deliverables for the project and agree these with all team members." The MDI provides a Single Source of Truth for all Revit sheet deliverables. The MDI Importer optionally allows for a logged "dry run" to check what changes would be made. This allows for QA control over the master list of deliverables. A sample MDI (Realtime.Sample.MasterDocumentIndex.xlsx) already populated with test data to use with Autodesk's Revit sample file rac_basic_sample_project.rvt is included.
