Good morning all! Below you will find a list of websites, which offer external solutions for Revit. All of these I have tried out myself and would recommend. I’ll try to keep this post updated as the sites change or new ones are created. If there are any other programs/websites which you would advise, then drop me a line, and I will add it to the list. This list was compiled mainly from the All things BIM blog.

FEATURED ADD-INS

I have been playing around with a new add-in for Revit which I saw advertised via a link being shared around on Twitter. Coins Auto-Section Box which is a free Revit add-in available to everyone for free via Autodesk App Exchange. 

Autodesk labs have recently released IBM Maximo integrated for Revit. In short, Maximo is an asset / building lifecycle management process scheduler. The current release, IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5 is scalable and coded for easy integration into third party programs, such as Revit. 

I have just downloaded and tested the Excitech Revit Toolkit. The toolkit features 2 'main' add-ins for Revit. The first is a coordinate scheduling tool which is very useful for any project where you have a coordinates system and need precise locations of objects or elements - You add the category of elements through the add-ins tab and coordinate parameters are added to the instance properties of the selected elements. You can then view and export your coordinates schedule directly from Revit.
