From time to time, users send us requests to develop some small command. Small commands that don't qualify as a full-fledged plugin are added to a special plugin, Tools. Today we are happy to present an update to the Tools plugin with new commands and some changes, which we describe below.

Wall Join

The new Wall Join command automates setting a specific join type when creating walls:

We present to you a new plugin for Revit – VIEW TEMPLATE MANAGER!

The plugin collects all view templates of the project in one window: search by name, the "Only used" filter and the number of views the template is assigned to, with the ability to immediately select those views in the model.

Main features:

• Editing settings. The template settings are grouped by sections, with search and the "Only controlled" filter.
• Working with several templates. Clear indication of common settings and changing them at once for all selected templates – including properties that are not available in the Revit Properties palette when multiple templates are selected.
• Copying settings. Transfer of the selected settings from one template to one or several others, together with the "Controlled by template" flags.
• Duplicating and deleting templates directly from the plugin window.

You can get acquainted with the work of the plugin in our demonstration video:

We present to you a new free plugin for Revit – QR code generator!

The plugin automatically creates QR codes from the links stored in element parameters and saves the resulting images to other parameters. There is no longer any need to generate codes in external services and load them into the project manually – everything is done in one click!

The plugin has an element filter for filtering the processed elements, configurations, as well as support for Organization settings.

The plugin in action is shown in the video:

We are pleased to present a new plugin for AutoCAD – SLOPE HATCHING!

The plugin creates conventional slope symbols: you simply specify the crest and the toe, and everything else is built automatically. At the time of release, five slope types are available – simple, break, extraction, reinforced and retaining wall.

All appearance settings (hatching step, offset from base, dash length and color, layer, background masking) are collected into configurations that can be duplicated, exported and shared with colleagues. And the result is visible in the preview window even before construction!

We would like to highlight the manual adjustment stage separately: if a dash has to fall on a specific point, you set an editing range and move the required dash – the remaining dashes within that range are redistributed automatically. The plugin works cyclically, so once one slope is finished you can move straight on to the next one.

The plugin in action is demonstrated in the video:

We are pleased to present a new plugin for Renga — Notes!

Standard notes are repeated from project to project, and typing them anew every time is a waste of time. The plugin collects such texts in one place and lets you insert them into a document in a couple of clicks: a note can be added to the selected text or replace it entirely.

The plugin includes a ready-made set of standard notes as well as custom notes — you create these yourself and store them in a separate file that can be shared with colleagues.

The plugin is available for Renga version 9.0 and higher.

See how it works in the demo video below:
