Revit Documentation Automation: Sheets, Views, Tags and Exports
Documentation is where Revit projects lose the most hours. We automate view and sheet creation, view placement, tagging, revisions and PDF, DWG and IFC exports so your team can focus on design.
Less time on sheets, more time on design
A single building project can need hundreds of views and sheets. Each view needs the right template, scope box, crop and name; each sheet needs a title block, the right views, legends and revision data; and every issue means exporting sets of PDFs and DWGs with the correct naming. Doing all of this by hand is repetitive and error-prone.
ENGIMANDI builds Revit tools that create floor plans, ceiling plans, sections and elevations per level or area, apply view templates, create sheets from an Excel sheet list, place views and legends in consistent positions, tag elements in bulk, manage revision clouds and schedules, and batch export to PDF, DWG and IFC with your naming conventions. Tools run in the desktop or as cloud batch jobs.

Documentation tools we build
From empty model to issued drawing set.
View Creation
Plans, RCPs, sections, elevations and 3D views created by level, zone or scope box.
Sheet Creation
Sheets with correct title blocks, numbers and names generated from a sheet list.
View Placement
Views, legends and schedules placed and aligned consistently across sheets.
Tagging
Doors, windows, rooms, equipment and MEP elements tagged in bulk without overlaps where possible.
Revisions
Revision sequences, clouds and sheet revision data managed for each issue.
Batch Exports
PDF, DWG, DWF and IFC sets exported with naming rules and transmittal lists.
Documentation stack

Revit documentation questions
Can dimensions be placed automatically?
Some dimensions, such as grids, rooms and openings, can be automated reliably. Complex dimensioning usually still needs a person, and we automate what is practical.
Does Revit export PDF without a PDF printer?
Yes. Recent Revit versions include native PDF export, which our tools use for fast, consistent batch exports.
Can sheets follow our client's numbering?
Yes. Sheet numbers and names come from your sheet list or rules, including discipline and zone codes.
Can exports run without anyone opening Revit?
Yes. With Design Automation for Revit, models in ACC can be exported on a schedule in the cloud.
Will tools work on workshared models?
Yes. Tools respect worksharing, element ownership and borrowing.
