If you’ve spent hours hunting through Revit models, checking elements, or preparing catalogues, you know how time-consuming manual work can be. At BIM Boost, we’ve developed five powerful tools that help you automate repetitive tasks, improve model quality, and free up time for real design work. Here’s how you can eliminate manual effort with our solutions.



1. Align your models consistently - Starting File

Manually aligning multiple models for collaboration can be a nightmare. Our Starting File simplifies the process by providing:

  • Pre-set elements and starter tips

  • Fire regulation kit with tags for doors, windows, and rooms

  • Structured templates and step-by-step guidance

  • Support for project coordination, calculations, and collaboration with third parties

With this tool, setup takes just a few minutes, ensuring consistent quality across your BIM projects from day one.



2. Check your model quickly - Onboard ILS Checker

Spending hours verifying IDS setups or fixing IFC export errors is a thing of the past. The Onboard ILS Checker guides you through eight simple steps to check your model’s quality and IFC readiness.



It includes:

  • Room Checker – automatically place 3D room tags and update parameters

  • Structural Checker – verify load-bearing elements and element information

  • Visual checks to catch errors before they become costly

Say goodbye to repetitive RVT–IFC corrections and hello to faster, higher-quality exports.



3. Find elements instantly - Superfinders

Searching for elements in complex Revit models can be frustrating. Superfinders is a set of two tools that help you locate elements in seconds:

  • Visibility Finder – see all cut and projection/graphic overrides affecting an element

  • Parameter Filter Finder – locate or select elements by parameter values or geometry

No more endless clicking or manual investigation—find what you need instantly.



4. Generate catalogues automatically – Catalogue Generator: Doors & Windows

Creating door and window catalogues manually is repetitive and error-prone. Our Catalogue Generator: Doors and Windows turns your Revit inventory into a structured, standardized catalogue:

  • Automates assembly creation, views, alignment, dimensioning, tagging, and sheet placement

  • Ensures early-stage consistency and reduces manual errors

  • Instruction sheets guide you step by step



This transforms your model data into a design and coordination tool in just a few minutes.



5. Link CAD files efficiently – CAD into Revit

Importing DWG files manually can create clutter, inconsistencies, and wasted time. CAD into Revit shows you when, where, and how to link DWG files and convert them into usable Revit detail items.

  • Standard DWG usage for general reference

  • DWG for detail items to quickly create clean, structured details

No more manual adjustments. Just clean, efficient CAD integration every time.
