FEATURE BLOCK – Revision Cloud Manager
This plugin finds all revision clouds in the model, group them by revision, let the user select the revision(s) to show in a table. By right-clicking on the column header, it allows selecting which properties need to be shown. It collects all necessary information directly from Revit model, and let the user export the table as Excel file.
Comments
This plugin can read and write “Comments” property. End User Assistant plugin can remind Revit user to write something into Comments property as a description. FYI, Comments property supports multiple lines text. To achieve that, type some lines in notepad/Word, then copy-paste it into Comments property. The plugin supports multi-line-text too. Similar to Excel, you need to press Shift + Enter to enter a new line.
Detail Number
Many architect prefer to put clouds in a sheet view instead of a regular view for various reasons. If clouds are managed in this way, Revit is not smart enough to tell which viewport the cloud belongs to. This plugin provides this missing function, so all the necessary information is directly collected from model, eliminating the need of manual documentation and minimize the room for error.
Click “Verify Detail Numbers” in the main menu to start a full scan for all clouds showing in the table. Right click on one row and then click “Refresh“ will update detail number of that row’s cloud.
Sheet Parameters
Right click on the table’s header row, or access the drop down menu in the main menu, you can change the parameters/columns showing in the table.
Export to Excel
Export all clouds and selected properties as an Excel table.
Last Edited By
From version 1.1.0, this plugin can read the history data collected by End User Assistant plugin, and show the user who did the last editing to a cloud.
FEATURE BLOCK – Revision Manager
From version 1.2, Revision Manager is available for managing sheets based on revisions. It finds all revisions and sheets in a project, and provides convenient features of managing sheets.
Select Sheets of Revisions
Select sheets of selected revisions.
Batch Assign/Remove
Select multiple revisions and sheets, assign/remove these revisions to/from these sheets.
Save Printset
Save selected sheets into a printset for later use.
Export
Export sheet list from selected sheets to an Excel file. You can select what parameters to be included.
ISSUES
If the model is large and clouds are on sheets, the time needed for the plugin to find detail numbers for all clouds might be quite long. This issue is caused by Revit’s internal workflow of sheet regenerating.When you hit “Verify Detail Number”, the plugin will give a warning message and an estimation of needed time, letting the user decide whether to proceed now or later. To grant enough time for the plugin to work its way, simply let it run while you are attending a meeting, having lunch or doing other non-Revit tasks.
After finding the correct detail number for a cloud, the plugin will save it for future use. However, if the detail number of a drawing changes, the saved detail number will NOTupdate. Therefore, you should at least verify detail number once each time you run the plugin.
FUTURE RELEASES
As always, suggestions for future releases are most welcomed. Feel free to contact me if you want specific function in the plugin, or if your firm has special demands that could be best met by a more customized tool.
