🚧 Currently under active development
A C# Autodesk Revit add-in focused on BIM management, quality assurance, and productivity. Developed by BIM Managers, for BIM Managers.
Note: RvTK is an independent third-party add-in for Autodesk Revit. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Autodesk.
Project Status: RvTK is currently the working name for the product and may undergo branding refinement prior to commercial release.
Development Status: RvTK is undergoing active development and testing using real-world project workflows. While extensive testing and validation is carried out to improve stability and reliability, users should verify automated outputs through their normal project quality assurance processes before relying on results for project delivery.
RvTK is being developed by a two-person team with a combined 35 years of experience across structural engineering, BIM management, and delivering Autodesk Revit-based projects.
The project has been created from real-world experience delivering BIM projects and is focused on solving practical workflow challenges encountered by Revit users.
RvTK is currently being tested with Revit users to validate functionality, stability, and usability before commercial release.
Many Revit users rely on a combination of manual processes, internal scripts, and multiple disconnected tools to complete everyday project tasks.
These workflows can result in inconsistent processes, duplicated effort, and increased time spent managing information rather than delivering projects.
RvTK aims to bring these workflows together into a single, professionally developed toolkit that improves consistency, reduces repetitive manual work, and helps organisations deliver projects more efficiently.
The project is built from real-world BIM delivery experience, focusing on practical improvements that provide meaningful value to project teams.
RvTK is intended for professionals and organisations working with Autodesk Revit, including:
- BIM Managers responsible for standards, workflows, and project delivery
- Structural engineering teams managing complex Revit models
- Architectural practices looking to improve modelling efficiency and consistency
- MEP teams managing coordinated multidisciplinary design workflows
- Design organisations seeking improved automation and quality assurance processes
As development progresses, RvTK aims to support workflows across multiple disciplines within the AEC industry.
RvTK brings together the tools and workflows that BIM professionals use every day, helping reduce repetitive processes, improve consistency, and make working in Autodesk Revit more efficient.
Built from real-world project experience, RvTK focuses on practical solutions for:
- Model management
- Quality assurance
- Drawing production
- Structural workflows
- BIM standards and information delivery
The goal is to provide a unified toolkit that helps organisations improve consistency, reduce repetitive manual processes, and deliver projects more efficiently using Autodesk Revit.
RvTK is developed using the Autodesk Revit API and integrates directly with Autodesk Revit functionality to automate and enhance existing workflows.
The add-in interacts with Revit elements, documents, views, sheets, parameters, and project data through the Revit API, enabling workflows including:
- Model management and quality assurance
- Drawing production and revision workflows
- Parameter management and data handling
- BIM standards and information delivery workflows
- Productivity automation
- Custom user interface tools and workflow management
RvTK is developed using:
- C#
- Autodesk Revit API
- .NET Framework
- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for custom user interfaces
The application follows Autodesk Revit API development practices, including transaction-based workflows and Revit's single-threaded application architecture.
RvTK currently supports the following Autodesk Revit versions:
- Autodesk Revit 2023
- Autodesk Revit 2024
- Autodesk Revit 2025
- Autodesk Revit 2026
- Autodesk Revit 2027 (limited testing completed)
RvTK requires:
- Windows 10/11
- Autodesk Revit 2023 or newer
- .NET Framework 4.8 or later
- A valid Autodesk Revit installation
The RvTK Command Centre provides a centralised location for users to access and organise their everyday Revit workflows.
The customisable Favourites Panel allows users to create their own personalised workspace by adding:
- RvTK tools
- Native Revit commands
- Commands from other Revit add-ins and plugins
This provides a single access point for the tools users rely on most, reducing the need to navigate through multiple ribbon tabs and interfaces.
RvTK includes organisation-level configuration tools designed for BIM Managers to manage, customise, and distribute workflows across project teams.
This allows companies to tailor RvTK to suit their own workflows, standards, and project requirements, ensuring teams have consistent access to the tools and settings they need.
Configuration options can be managed centrally and distributed to users, helping improve consistency, support BIM standards, and simplify deployment across project teams.
RvTK is designed to be simple to install and update.
- Download the latest RvTK release package.
- Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
- Ensure Autodesk Revit is closed.
- Run the RvTK installer (
.exe). - Open Revit and RvTK will be available.
No additional configuration is required for a standard installation.
Administrator permissions may be required depending on your organisation's security settings.
To update to the latest version:
- Download the latest RvTK release package.
- Close Autodesk Revit.
- Extract the new ZIP file.
- Run the updated RvTK installer (
.exe).
The latest version will replace the previous installation while maintaining existing configuration settings.
RvTK includes a dedicated uninstaller that allows users to remove the add-in and manage stored configuration settings.
Note: The RvTK uninstaller is located at:
%appdata%\RvTK\RvTK uninstaller\uninstaller.exe
The uninstaller provides three options:
- Remove Plugin Only - Removes RvTK add-in files while keeping user configuration settings.
- Clear Personal Configuration - Removes user settings and preferences while keeping the RvTK installation.
- Complete Clean Uninstall - Removes RvTK, including add-in files, configuration files, and stored preferences.
After uninstalling, restart Autodesk Revit to ensure all RvTK components are fully removed.
During the development phase, RvTK installations include a 35-day evaluation period, allowing users to explore and test available functionality.
As development continues, the evaluation access period will be renewed with every fresh installation to allow testers to continue reviewing improvements and providing feedback.
Feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions are encouraged and can be submitted directly through the inbuilt feedback button within RvTK.
RvTK includes built-in tools to support organisation-wide deployment and configuration management.
BIM Managers can customise RvTK Settings to suit their organisation's workflows, standards, and requirements, then export the configuration package for distribution across other machines.
- Configure RvTK Settings on the designated BIM Manager machine.
- Export the RvTK configuration package.
- Distribute the configuration package to the required users or machines.
- Import the configuration package on each machine.
This allows organisations to maintain consistent RvTK settings across teams, helping standardise workflows, improve productivity, and support company BIM standards.
Further deployment options and management features will continue to be developed.
