Free Revit Add-Ins?

As some of you may have been hearing, Case is in the process of developing some free Revit Add-Ins for general consumption. I'd like to offer up a chance for you to suggest a tool or utility that you would like to see make it as part of this free offering.



Leave a comment here explaining a Revit tool that you'd like to see added to the free Case toolset and you just might get your wish... Who knows, you might even win something.

Default View Creator; ie. for each level in project create view for Discipline and Sub-Discipline

Hide and Unhide Button in Addin Bar:

I would like to have a button, Grids, that when I click it turns that category off in that view and when i click it again it turns back on. The best would be to allow the user to select the Category, Levels, Sections, Links, Worksets, etc

Camera Controls:

It would be nice to have and interface that exposes the inner constraints of the Revit Camera, (XYZ of Camera & Target)Focal length would be great amazing!

A tool that allows a user to "scrub" a model. As a MEP firm we receive bloated arch/struct models that we link into our models. We currently have to manually delete sheets, schedules, legends, and most of the views, then purge the model. We find that this on average will cut the model size by 50%. If you could automate this with one caveat, allow the user to select which views to stay in the model. We typically keep the site and a few rcps for referencing in our model.

Two possibilities: A plugin that creates a live link between Revit and other modeling platforms like Rhino or Maya and/or a better project coordinate graphical interface.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Convert hosted family to un-hosted family (ie ceiling based light fixture to un-hosted light fixture)

It's a pain to build curtain panels for both standard panels and pattern based panels. While I understand that it's probably impossible to convert even a simple curtain panel to a pattern based curtain panel, it seams like it might be possible to build a tool to go from the more complex pattern base to the more simple standard so that you only have to build something once for projects which have both "typical" and "special" conditions of the same panel type.

Finally, how about a tool version of your "convert rooms to masses". It would of course need to work with both rooms and areas and allow you to specify the type of output (generic model, specialty equipment, etc) and the output height.

Thanks!

A tool to pull information from csv files or from other schedules in a Revit Project. A 'Get" function if you will. I would love to be able to string a formula that will 'get' info based on other expressions.
