LeGen

Verified

LeGen is a Revit add-in for architecture and MEP teams that automatically builds legend views from the colors and data of view filters already applied in a project.

It replaces manual filled-region legends with a one-click, refreshable legend tied to your filter overrides, pulling text from filter names or type parameters.

LeGen Overview

LeGen is a Revit add-in from Camilion that replaces manual legend-building with a one-click, filter-driven workflow. Traditionally, BIM teams build legend views by hand — drawing filled regions and typing text entries that have no live connection to the model, which is slow and error-prone. LeGen removes that step: apply view filters with visual overrides in Revit, then run LeGen from the Camilion ribbon tab to automatically generate a legend view populated with the filter's colors, patterns, and selected data. Users choose whether the legend text pulls from filter names, type parameters, or both, and can display projection lines, surface patterns, cut lines, and cut patterns from the source filters. Legends can be refreshed at any time with another click, either from the source view or the legend view itself, as long as the original view and legend names are left unchanged to preserve the link. Generated legend elements are pinned automatically to prevent accidental manual edits from being lost on the next refresh; attempting to edit a pinned legend triggers a warning before changes are applied. LeGen supports Autodesk Revit 2018 through 2027 and is aimed at architecture and MEP teams who maintain filter-based color legends across drawing sets.

Ideate Explorer

Ideate Explorer is a Revit add-in that helps BIM teams search, filter, and query every element in a model, including items hidden from the standard project browser. It's built for Revit managers and modelers who need to find and remove obsolete or duplicate elements, review and resolve Revit warnings, and keep files clean and accurate.

Ideate StyleManager

Ideate StyleManager is a Revit data management and model cleanup tool that helps architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams maintain consistent, high-quality BIM standards across projects. The software enables users to identify, manage, and remove unused, duplicate, or non-standard content within Revit models, templates, and families. This includes object styles, line styles, line patterns, fill patterns, filled regions, materials, material assets, filters, view templates, viewports, and other project standards. By centralizing and simplifying standards management, Ideate StyleManager helps BIM managers enforce company-wide Revit standards, reduce model clutter, and improve overall model performance. The tool also supports quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) processes by making it easier to identify inconsistencies before project delivery. With cleaner, more standardized models, teams can improve collaboration, reduce errors, decrease file sizes, and create more reliable project documentation. Ideate StyleManager is particularly valuable for organizations looking to scale BIM best practices and maintain consistency across multiple projects and offices.

OverRide

OverRide is a Revit plugin for BIM teams that finds every element with a graphic override applied 'by Element' across a project. It copies or clears those overrides — covering visibility, halftone, patterns, line styles, and transparency — across selected views in bulk, instead of resetting each view by hand.
