Features

360xPlorer is a tool for decoding the collaboration cache of BIM 360 / ACC projects. If you have ever had a corrupt file or hiccup with BIM 360 that prevents you from opening the file, you know that the fix is typically to delete all of your collaboration cache. The unfortunate part is that if you delete the entire folder, your other BIM 360 projects are also forced to reload. This tool allows you to pinpoint exactly which “local” file you want to delete and force it to reload again and fix the issue.

You may also find this tool handy if you are disconnected from BIM 360 and wish to open a specific collaboration “local” file (it will be detached from BIM 360 obviously). When and if there is an outage in BIM 360, you can open this local file and save a copy locally to continue working. There is a lot of flexibility built into this tool that can save you time and work effort.

Type in simple view and sheet references and updates them automatically when the reference changes.

Key Points

• Works in plain text, parameters, and keynotes*
• Link to views in linked models
• Simply type the view reference and let autoLink do it’s thing, no special tools to use
• Link to a sheet or a view on the sheet
• Fully customizable autoLink symbols, parameters, and naming standards
• Follow links to the view or the sheet they are on

*Linking inside of keynotes requires both autoLink and Keynote Manager

Perfectly align your viewports on sheets so they look clean and tidy.

Key Points

• Perfectly align floor plans, ceiling plans, area plans between sheets
• Align legends between sheets
• Place legends consistently on sheets that do not have them
• Align even if the title block has been moved
• Other view types can be aligned including 3D views, sections and elevations {Beta}. These view types have variable origin locations and therefore may not always function as expected, please use caution when aligning these view types.

Quickly identify objects that are not properly located to avoid unnecessary errors.

Key Points

• Improved quality control by quickly identifying elements that are not dimensioned.
• Search for dimensions in only the current view or callouts of the current view as well.
• Real time feedback as you dimension elements.
• Fully customizable categories to check.

Override many dimensions in a single command

Key Points

• Override prefix, suffix, above, below, and dimension value
• Automatically calculate divisions for stairs, etc.
• Set frequent overrides for single click access
• Standardize text to avoid typos

Manage floor and wall finishes easily

Key Points

• Create floor finish objects in Revit with a single click just like ceilings and let finishFloors fill out your schedule for you OR fill out your finish schedule and let finishFloors create your floor objects.
• Create floors in every room in a project or any subset in one command.
• Map your finish codes to floor types to tie your finish schedule to your floor objects and update automatically.
• Finish floors are offset to sit directly on top of the structural floor.
• Automatically create door thresholds at the face of the frame, center of the frame, or skip thresholds altogether.
• Create finish walls around the perimeter of a space with ease (i.e. tile wainscot in a bathroom).
• Floors automatically update when room boundaries change.

Renumber items in sequence simply by picking the sequence.

Key Points

• Quickly and easily renumber elements in sequence dynamically, ensuring that no numbers or letters are repeated.
• Select a number or letter to start from and automatically increment with each pick.
• Automatically locks the category to your first pick to avoid non-category picks.
• Automatically add a prefix or suffix to the number or letter.
• Renumber Doors, Viewports, Rooms, Text Notes, Grids, and Spaces.

Place reference sections and callouts quickly based on the sheet number and detail number rather than searching through a long list of possible views.

Key Points

• Select the view from an intuitive, sortable, searchable, filterable list.
• Find views by reference, type, or name.
• Rename views on sheets based on their reference for better project browser organization.
• Place a view onto a sheet directly without searching the project browser for it.

Set view naming standards and have Revit automatically name views correctly.

Key Points

Existing views can also be renamed to match the standard with two quick clicks!

• Set up your office standard naming conventions and push to users. Views are named by the standard automatically, no mess, no hassle and no lost views!
• Set a different standard for various types of elevations, sections, and callouts.
• No more lost views or generic view names.
• Update existing views to the standard in 2 clicks.
• Set View Template and ‘hide at scales coarser than’ automatically.
