RVT / DWG

CAD On/Off​

  • Made because the built-in Revit feature is clunky

  1. Refresh → loads the CAD layers in the current view
  2. Select one or more rows, then use the ISOLATE / HIDE / ALL ON buttons
  • Bulk auto-link RVT/DWG and auto-repath

Auto Link

  1. Link RVT → choose a folder, then select the files to link
  2. Repath RVT → choose the folder containing the files to repath
  3. Link DWG → choose the folder with the CAD files → click Select drawings → choose the view the CAD will be linked into

*Files are matched 1:1 in ascending name order.

  1. Repath DWG → choose the folder containing the files to repath

*Exact match: matches only when names are identical

*Partial match: matches when the name is contained but has extra text (e.g. “L3 Floor Plan” → “20260703_L3 Floor Plan”)

*Fuzzy match: scores name similarity as a percentage and matches the highest

*For splitting drawings, we recommend xicad

Auto Detach​

  • Bulk auto-detach RVT

  1. Set the scan folder → click Scan Folder
  2. Set the output folder
  3. Choose options, select files, then run detach

Auto Separate​

  • Split an RVT file by parameter value

Auto Separate

  1. Key parameter — pick the parameter to split by, and optionally one to exclude by
  2. Values to split — group a and b together and you get one RVT containing both a and b

*By default, elements with no value for that parameter — or with a value you did not assign — go into every file that is created. You can leave them out with an option.

*The split files are always saved detached. The original file is left untouched.
