BIM Tools

Problem

Revit links were hard to inspect and troubleshoot across local and cloud-hosted setups.

Approach

Created a WPF-based workflow for reading, reviewing, and managing model references.

Outcome

Reduced link confusion and improved reference troubleshooting for project teams.

Problem

Topography alignment in Revit was too manual for repeated landscape workflows.

Approach

Designed projection logic to align one Revit surface against another.

Outcome

Reduced manual terrain adjustment and improved repeatability for site modeling tasks.

Problem

Placing Revit families manually based on CAD drawings was slow and error-prone, especially on large landscape projects with many repeated elements.

Approach

Developed a tool that reads CAD geometry or block references and uses their positions to automatically place the matching Revit family instances in the model.

Outcome

Significantly reduced family placement time and improved positional accuracy when working from CAD source drawings.

Problem

Recreating site topography from CAD contour drawings in Revit required tedious manual point placement that was slow and inconsistent.

Approach

Developed a tool that reads CAD contour geometry from a linked DWG and converts it directly into a Revit toposolid with the correct elevation data.

Outcome

Reduced topography creation time significantly and produced more accurate terrain models aligned to the original CAD survey data.

Problem

Imported CAD topography often brought in duplicate, stacked, or off-grid points that made Revit surfaces unreliable.

Approach

Developed a point cleanup tool that identifies and removes problematic points from toposolid geometry to produce cleaner, more accurate surfaces.

Outcome

Improved surface quality, reduced manual point editing, and sped up the topography cleanup step in the landscape BIM workflow.

Problem

As more internal tools were built, the team had no central place to find and launch them — tools were scattered and inconsistently accessible.

Approach

Created a custom Revit ribbon tab with organized panels for each tool category, giving the team a clean, branded entry point for all internal automation.

Outcome

Unified tool access under one interface, improved team adoption, and made onboarding new tools easier going forward.

Problem

Creating and keeping detail legends consistent across large drawing sets was time-consuming and prone to manual error.

Approach

Developed a tool that reads detail components from the model and generates or updates legend views automatically, maintaining consistency with minimal user input.

Outcome

Reduced legend setup time, improved annotation consistency across sheets, and removed a repetitive manual step from the Cracknell drawing workflow.
