- Automate sheathing layouts
- Frame architectural curtain walls with highly detailed elements and curtain panels (including complex fills and internal frames) precisely
- Freely revise your Revit model with simple selection of the elements and properties you want to modify, find structural and engineering clashes
- Perform structural analyses without leaving Revit at any stage of design process
- Generate shop drawings and cut lists with one click; get real-time take-offs and views, auto-sorting and dimensioning, and optional export to any CNC machines (Howick, Metroll, Pinnacle, etc.)
- Smart Walls Revit addon is for managing walls in Revit, letting you:
- rapidly disassemble layers into different wall types
- fully control joins and gap distances
- split walls into separate panels with predefined settings
- insert gravity points
- manage information with an export-to-Excel feature
- Cut Opening creates openings with fire safety components throughout a Revit model where MEP intersects with walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, beams, and columns. Also creates openings with special holding details for structural beams.

- Automatically adds openings with predefined sizes in accordance with MEP line based element sizes, categories and system classifications
- Automatically joins openings with predefined configurations
- Automatically inserts Fire Dampers where ducts clash with walls, floors, ceilings or roofs with fire rating
- Automatically inserts structural openings for separated architectural and structural models
- Enhance BIM-team work and deliverables for integrated project delivery (IPD)
- Sort Mark renumbers Revit elements and detects, renumbers grids, determines swing direction and orientation (and add them as properties), recalculates shared coordinates, etc.
- Detects grid geometry and automatically renumbers them after any project change
- Renumbers of any Revit elements (Doors, Windows, Columns, Pipes, etc.) in a number of different ways
- Writes swing direction for the doors into the door's properties
- Writes flip/mirror orientation for the selected elements
- Creates new shared parameters, recalculates shared X, Y, Z coordinates
- Possibility to save numbering settings under the separate name
- Possibility to sort elements in Ascending/Descending order, and many more functions
