Commands

Ribbon/Toolbar Icon	Command	Command Description
	Detail Link	This tool automates the process of linking Autodesk® AutoCAD® DWG details for use in the Revit project environment.
	Length Calculator	This tool is designed to assist during the design phase of duct, pipe, conduit or cable tray layouts by quickly calculating the length of a run.
	Quick Select	This tool quickly changes which elements are selected by using filters for categories, parameter values, and views.
	Renumbering	This tool provides a fast and simple way to renumber your rooms and doors, including adding separators and suffixes to room and door numbers.
	View Aligner	This tool allows explicit edge, center and internal level alignment across multiple views, instead of just the basic drag alignment. This works both on a single sheet, and across multiple sheets.
	Fab Sheets	This tool assigns elements to an increment/sequence via parameter values, generates views and places them on sheets.
	Fire Rating	This tool automates the assignment of fire ratings and the generation of fire rating graphics for life safety plans.
	Invisibility Advisor	This tool helps you determine why an element may not be visible in a view.
	Model Compare	This tool allows taking data "snapshots" of a project and compares the differences as the project changes.
	Occupant Flow Analyzer	This tool can be used to help determine possible paths between points, their distances, routes affected by impassible objects and perform occupancy related calculations.
	Parameter Jammer	This tool modifies families in a project so they work with the project's schedules.
	Revision Manager	This tool lists revision information, including view and sheet associations, and allows the results to be saved to a spreadsheet file. Revision changes can be made as well.
	Room Data Sheets	This tool assists with the creation of datasheets for both rooms and spaces.
	Room Family Manager	This tool enables defining, maintaining and validating the family content of each room using room type definitions.
	Schedule XL	This tool will create one or more schedule or drafting views from one or more spreadsheet worksheets, allowing automatic updates when opening the project.
	Sheet Assistant	Sheet Assistant is purpose-built to edit sheet layouts by aligning multiple views across multiple sheets, and it assists in the view placement of multiple views across multiple sheets.
	Spreadsheet Link	This powerful tool exports data from Revit to a spreadsheet where the data can be easily edited and then loaded back into Revit. Powerful embedded spreadsheet functions can be used without requiring external spreadsheet software.
	Spreadsheet Link Express	This tool runs Spreadsheet Link automatically, using previously-saved settings.
	View Creator	This tool enables Revit users to quickly and consistently create views in their projects.
	Model Dashboard	This tool provides an in-model analytics dashboard for Revit projects to help you detect problems early.
