Descripción
The Align tool allows you to align, distribute or organize selected elements, annotations, tags and text along the axis you specify. Furthermore, the Arrange feature will automatically neatly place your tags around the current view.
The Align plug-in for Autodesk® Revit® can help to save time while producing complex drawings with large sets of annotation.
Just select a few elements and the Align tool will sort them for you.
This version is using the code from Deyan Nenov. Big thanks to him!
Acerca de esta versión
Versión 1.8.0, 05/04/2023
Update for Autodesk® Revit® 2024
Thank you! missing Align tool for 2025 :(
Me too.
SIPMLE, FAST AND USEFUL. WAITING FOR THE REVIT 2025 UPDATE.
Love this tool, easily made into shortcuts, and aligns components, views, and text. Would love to see it upgraded with new Revit roll-outs
Plugin excelente e estou sentindo falta dele na versão 2025.
Is there a new update to the plugin for Revit 25?
I didn't know I would need this plugin, but now it has become part of my daily routine!
No me he pasado a revit 2025 solo por este plugin. Es demasiado importante para mi.
it's only working on revit 19 can you help me to use it on other versions
Add keyboard shortcuts & you easily ensure precision and speed for your sheets.
Very good!
This is a great tool been using it for a number of years!
When I select 2 items and click align middle, it does not do completely. I understand this from the fact that it moves again when I click it for the second time. This is also valid for other commands. For example, the distribute horizontally command causes the elements to be nested. I cannot separate them at equal distance.
Hello Bedirhan, I am sorry about your issue. Can you send me a small Revit model at simon@bim42.com where I could reproduce this problem? Best, Simon
Works well and saves me a ton of time while cleaning up my plans.
NICE
Is there a way to specify the tab name? Add-Ins is getting cluttered and there are a couple that loose their icons when they go small... (several of the other 3rd-party add-ins we use have a settings text file where we can customize placement).
Also, it would be nice to be able to distribute space BETWEEN elements (instead of just distributing centers - sometimes overlapping or large gaps).
Very useful tool for tagging elements (and tidying them up)
Note: There are limitations to the align tool, this only works effectively if the view is set on a default axis (default crop view orientation). If the view is set on any different angle, and you use align tool functions such as 'distibute vertically/horizontally', this will confuse the Revit and have them all cluster together instead of evenly separating-'distributing' them.
Never the less, very good tool and I appreciate the developer has maintained this plugin so far!
very useful... thank you
good
Its like having Illustrator added to Revit!
Works great in Revit 2024. This tool is a must have!
It's not until you have to upgrade and the tool isn't available that you realise just how useful this tool is, and how often you use it.
thanks for making this available for all revit users to download and use.
I was looking for a tool to equally distribute objects so the edge to edge dimention between them all would be the same. So far as I can tell, this tool does not do that. It equally distributes objects so that the center to center dimention is the same; useful for distributing structural elements on center but not what I was looking for. Please consider adding a check box that would allow you to change where the distribute tool measures from.
I second this
I love you
Thanks, This plugin is so good to use
I love it .
Helpful app, the use is like Illustrator!
Must have!
Great App, Please update for RVT 2023
Great! many Thanks
Great app, Please update for RVT 2023
Please update for Revit 2023
great app. Please update for RVT 2023!!
Please update it for Revit 2023.
The most useful plugin for me. Pls, add support for Revit 2023.
Hi, i develop a similar align function tools in appstore that support Revit 2023 you can try it out for free. https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=5064452689485413992&appLang=en&os=Win64
Johnes, i tried your plugin for aligning, but it only seems to work on components, it wont work with doors, walls, detail items etc etc how come?
Lachlan, I experienced the same thing. I often use the Align tool for viewports and it doesn't work for those.
This is a great addition for productivity. I've recently upgraded to Revit 2023. And i'm missing this add-on. Is there a time line on this being compatible with the latest Revit?

Please can the developer update to 2023. This is an amazing app and i use it everyday.
Side Note: I'm actually shocked that we are in 2023 and this isn't native to Autodesk! Seriously, for the price of a yearly subscription I'd expect this type of functionality to be baked in!
No wonder the worlds architects are writing to Autodesk to let them know this isn't good enough! Pull your finger out!

Hello Johnes your align tool did not work. I couldn't even align simple text to a drafting line. Please BIM 42 can you update to support 2023!
J'adore...stable et efficace.
Bravo !!!
I do a lot of drafting views, and this plugin has literally saved me days and days. For best use, setup with shortcut keys, which makes it even quicker
thanks.
Kinda Looks Sketchy when ya download it, But I Swear THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!
good app
Very useful
Very simple app, but is extremely useful!
Very useful set of tools to Align lots of things, not just Annotation. (Revit 2021 issue: once aligned, the set of annotation remains highlighted, but if you try to nudge the annotation it doesnt move. Re-focusing on the view by clicking on theview name tab seems to re-set the focuse and you can move the updated tags...)
This little plugin saves loads of time. Thanks!
thank you so much
this addon is very helpful
One request for correction is likely to require an update of the distribute horizontally function. My opinion is that you should change it to the average of the highest and lowest objects, not the average of the first and last objects.
Big thanks!
Great app, but it doesn't works when rotated scope box is actve. Please, fix it. Thanks a lot.
can't believe this isn't built into Revit, but thank goodness for the plugin
Merci pour la mise à jour; ça faisait un moment qu'on attendait ça !!!
Works amazingly. and saves so much time. Seriously Autodesk, how is this not a standard feature in revit?!?! We should not have to rely on add-ons for basic features such as this.
Helpful app ! Thanks !
Hey Guys!
I am wating the Revit 2020 Version for this app!
Until I found this solution to get it work in 2020. I copied from here "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\BIM 42 Align.bundle\Contents\Sources" this 2 file: "AlignTag" and "AlignTag.dll" to this folder "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2020".
Now for me it's working fine with Revit 2020.
True hero, right here! Thanks!
Hero! Thank you
You the man!
Thank you very Much!
So excellent. thx.
Thanks so much! Genius!
It works! Thank you so much!
There's another option: Open "PackageContents" with a text editor, located in "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\BIM 42 Align.bundle", and add the following lines at the end, before </ApplicationPackage>: <Components Description="2020 parts"> <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2020" SeriesMax="R2020" /> <ComponentEntry AppName="Align" Version="1.4.0" ModuleName="./Contents/Sources/AlignTag.addin" AppDescription="Quickly and easily align tags for perfect drawings." /> </Components>
Bro. Thanks so much :)
I was very excited when I read this suggestion as I feel lost without this amazing plugin since upgrading to 2020, unfortunately for me the change wasn't successful. I also tried @Lucas Rubini suggestion which didn't work for me either. Looking forward to the update, unless anyone else has another suggestion.
Perfect, thank you
Version 2020 Coming?
please!
Very usefull for quick and clean setup of sheets, only feature i miss is an abbility to align Spot elevations on sections.

It will not be compatible with Revit 2020 ?
Thank you very much for a great plugin, it has been a life-saver for me. Currently tagging a massive project, where I am tagging loads and loads of fire pipes in MEP. Any chance to add the function of aligning tags that are aligned vertically (in 45 degrees angle) for the next update? Thanks again for great work!
please we need 2020 version
very great and useful app
I love this app, makes for a much cleaner, professional document
Works exactly as I would expect Revit to out of the box. I also hope this is upgraded to 2023 soon.
A espera deste Plugin no Revit 2020! Muito bom e prático!
Helpful app :-)
We need 2020 also
the plugin is wonderful thank you
when is update 2020
Me too! :)
I am trying to center align Room tags to Ceiling tags. However, when I do this I get an error saying:
"point
Parameter name: Head position of the tag with no leader could not be located outside of the host element."
Your known issues page says something about Room, Space and Area tags with a leader need a double click be aligned. I would like to do this without a leader on the room tag.
Any help would be appreciated.
Very usefull. Thanks alot!
This addin is an important part of my Shopdrawing workflow please update. :)
i loved this tool with 2019 - but we have upgraded to 2020, and it doesnt appear anymore. please upgrade it.
waiting for the revit 2020 update for this addin. not being able to use it is driving me nuts hhahaa
Please update for Revit 2020 as our office is moving to this platform! Thanks for your hard work!
One of the best plugin for Revit. I recommand it !
Very useful app! Thanks!
je l'utilise tout les jours ! parfait pour aligner des objet ou des annotations voir des vues !
如果能够对综合管线排布,比如水管pipe,风管duct等等起作用会更好
arrange tags如果能够将引线角度自定义也很好,比如90度
One of the most usefull apps to beguin with in revit.
download asap
Great app to solve something that should be in Revit to begin with if you ask me !
Absolutely must have!
I dont use it a lot but it is pretty good, it can align alot more than just tags.
Love this App, will there be a 2019 version?
One of the best add ins for revit, highly recommended to anyone I meet using revit.
Awesome Add-in! Organizing things has never been so easy. Highly recommended.
Everything works correctly!! Thanks
This is all I've ever wanted. I cannot believe I didn't search for a plug in earlier for this. This has made my week!!!
This add in is very useful, I find myself reaching for it often (via keyboard shortcuts of course). I have been using this a while longer now, and I have another feature request. It would be really useful having an "align centre" tool that centres the SECOND object to the FIRST object's location, instead of moving both to meet in the middle. This would be a very simple way of centering objects with a shortcut instead of having to select and move by midpoint
The only addin that I bring from the panel and keep it at the work space. Kudos to the development team…!!!!
Hi, isnt there this tool for 2015?? REgards
Very cool and useful apps, thanks to developer
great help for the perfectionist
This is a very useful tool. Thanks for building and maintaining it! Any chance of adding a new alignment button? I would like the ability to "stack" (wall) tags directly on top of each other. It's essentially a double alignment, center - center. Thanks!
Thanks for using it ! I rather keep the number of buttons to a minimum, even if some features are missing, to keep the overall user experience simple and intuitive. Why don't you click on "Align Center" and "Align Middle" successively ? The app should keep your selection between the two clicks.
I would love it even more if it could be added to the quick access toolbar. An older version had this I believe but Revit 2017 isn't allowing it.
Utile!
Overall I'm very happy with the tool and the results! I would like to be able to define which tag the rest of the tags will align to (top/bottom, left/right). How about implementing a button to switch between last selected tag and default (highest/lowest placed etc.)?
Thanks ! Your idea is really interresting, but I rather keep the number of buttons to a minimum, even if some features are missing, to keep the overall user experience simple and intuitive.
I agree with this - sometime you want to move the majority of the tags TOWARDS the detail, and sometimes you want to move the majority AWAY from the detail - this could be placed in a separate "settings menu" that you only access to change defaults (such as align to first selected, align to leftmost, align to rightmost, align to last selected) I believe this would add a considerable amount of functionality, and I would use this addin constantly instead of just sporadically as i do now.
but in 2018 I am unable to assign any keyboards shortcuts which makes it very difficult :( Please please fix so that I may edit my review to reflect my true opinion.
Hello. I am sorry to hear that your keyboards shortcuts are not working. I just tried on my own Revit 2018, and it's working fine (see screenshot https://ibb.co/j6nwMQ). Can you send me a screenshot of your issue ? Thanks for your help !
The Align add-in shortcut keys are not show up for me
I am running out of options :( Did you try to just type "Align" in the search bar of the Shortcut panel, without filtering by the Add-Ins tabs ? You can also try to unistall and reinstall the Align plugin.
Looking at the picture you provided it shows the keyboard commands under the add-ins tab. & just typing in align causes several align functions to show, so much that it would be impossible to fit in one picture. https://ibb.co/gsmXgQ The picture shows Paths have been sorted alphabetically, Can you see the grey arrow pointing upwards next to the word "Paths." Now, if you where to do the same thing the Add-Ins keyboard shortcuts would be the first Paths displayed.

Very helpful app. Just I just want to support the revit 2015.
Please can this get support for Revit 2015!!!!
Beaucoup de temps gagné dans un gros projet. Merci beaucoup aux développeurs!!
Thank you for the free handy little plugin but I have to ask why the need for a leader for the addin to work? There are many times when I have a large amount of tags on a sheet and use zero leaders, I would still like tags aligned. This plugin should work just the same with or without the leaders. Is this possible?
Yes, it should be perfectly possible. I will add it for the next release.
Leaders are gone when we align texts which has more than one leader,
Большое спасибо за вашу работу!
Great little app - Use it every day
Although it is a very good app but un fortunately does not work with area tags
Awesome simple App! Organize all your tabs. Thank you very much to the editor Simon Moreau. You can find helpfull online training from him on the Autodesk Web page also. I highly recommend his plugin for navisworks clash detection filter.
Saved me lots of time. A Quick Toolbar add in option would be awesome. Thanks to developer.
Very useful add-on for annotating. Wish you could leave the commands expanded on your second screen so you don't have to click the drop down to change alignment.
I really enjoy tagging several items and then being able to align left or right. The one thing I think that could make this even better is if the addin worked with "text boxes" also. Many times, we use text and tags together and if we could use one tool to align them, that would be amazing. Even if there were two tools, Text alignment and Tag Alignment, it would be very helpful. Good job though! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your contribute
This is very useful!!! thanks so much
This is very good, but does it also comes in zip file (non-msi) version because my computer does not allow me to install this add-in without IT permission which I cannot have
Good jod, very helpful
Very good
helpful for sure
Very useful app! Thanks!
