BlackLine

Transform Your Architectural Workflow: BlackLine is a specialized Revit add-in that automates one of the most time-consuming aspects of architectural documentation: creating marketing sheets for residential projects. Developed by ArchiBotix Lab Inc., this powerful tool seamlessly integrates with your Autodesk Revit environment to generate professional marketing sheets in minutes instead of hours. The Challenge: Architects typically spend up to 30% of design development time creating documentations rather than focusing on creative design work. For residential projects with numerous suite types, creating marketing sheets is particularly tedious and repetitive, yet critical for sales and client presentations. Each sheet requires careful setup, consistent formatting, and multiple iterations, consuming tens to hundreds of valuable hours per project while introducing the risk of errors and inconsistencies. The Solution: BlackLine automates this entire process with intelligent algorithms that understand architectural documentation requirements. The add-in works directly within your existing Revit environment to create complete, professionally formatted marketing sheets that include: • Individual unit layouts with proper orientation • Suite type and area calculations (indoor, outdoor, and total) • North arrows correctly aligned relative to key plans • Key plans highlighting the selected unit with level indicators • Standardized formatting that maintains your brand identity Key Features: • Adaptable to Your BIM Standards: Works with your existing Revit templates and families • Configurator for Custom Layouts: Adjust sheet layouts to match your firm's branding • Parameter Integration: Supports custom parameters on sheets for scheduling and data management • Batch Processing: Generate all sheets for a project in one operation • Quality Control: Automatic error checking and validation to ensure consistency • Seamless Revit Integration: Works within your Revit environment, no external applications required Quantifiable Benefits: • Time Savings: Reduce marketing sheet creation time by up to 95% • Resource Efficiency: Validated results show 150-200+ hours saved on typical residential projects • Error Reduction: Eliminate inconsistencies and human errors through standardized automation • Accelerated Project Delivery: Get marketing materials to clients faster • Improved Staff Satisfaction: Redirect team members to more creative, high-value work Licensing Model: Available per project and for unlimited annual subscription.
