Autotag - MEP Tagging, Annotation & Documentation

Autotag by Bimrock AI is an Autodesk Revit plugin that automates MEP annotation - replacing hours of manual tag placement with profile-based automation that works across Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing disciplines.

The Problem It Solves

MEP annotation is one of the most repetitive and time-consuming tasks in building documentation. Engineers and designers manually place hundreds of tags per floor plan, adjust positions to avoid overlaps, and repeat the process across dozens of views. A single building can require thousands of tags placed by hand — a tedious workflow that drains productive hours and introduces inconsistency across documentation sets.

How Autotag by Bimrock AIWorks

Autotag introduces a profile-based approach to annotation. Users define tagging rules once [selecting which MEP categories to tag, which tag families to use, placement preferences, and filtering criteria], then apply that profile to any number of views. The tool handles the rest: intelligent tag positioning, automatic overlap avoidance, and batch processing across entire building documentation sets.

1. Create a Profile: Select MEP categories, tag families, filters, and placement rules. Profiles work like View Templates, but for annotation.
2. Apply to Views: Select one or more views and apply your profile. Tags are placed automatically with intelligent overlap avoidance.
3. Edit and Refine: Bulk-edit tags, organize leader lines, and align elbows — no one-by-one fixing.
4. Batch Process: Queue multiple views for batch tagging. Select views, apply profiles, and let the queue process automatically.

Key Features

• Profile-Based Automation: Create reusable tagging profiles that capture your annotation standards. Define tagging rules once, apply everywhere. Reusable and shareable across team members.
• Automatic Overlap Avoidance: Intelligent positioning algorithms ensure tags are placed clearly without manual cleanup. No more dragging tags apart after placement.
• Batch View Processing: Queue multipleviews and process them in a single operation. Tag an entire building's documentation set while you focus on design work.
• Full MEP Discipline Coverage: Supports Mechanical (ducts, equipment), Electrical (panels, fixtures, devices), and Plumbing (pipes, fixtures, equipment), plus general architectural elements.
• Linked Model & Workshared Support: Works seamlessly with Revit linked models and workshared projects - critical for real-world MEP coordination workflows.
• Custom Family Support: Tag any parameter on any element, including custom families. Not limited to out-of-the-box Revit content.
• Post-Placement Editing Tools: Bulk-edit tags, align leader line elbows, and organize annotations after placement for fine-tuned control.
• Team Profile Sharing: Share annotation profiles across team members to enforce consistent documentation standards firm-wide.
• No Scripting Required: Fully visual interface - no Dynamo graphs, no code, no plugins to chain together.

Time Savings

Users save hours per project on annotation tasks. When batch-processing documentation sets, teams report saving hours per project. For firms producing dozens of projects annually, Autotag recovers hundreds of billable hours that were previously spent on manual tagging.

Who It's For

Autotag by Bimrock AI serves solo MEP consultants who need to move fast, team leads enforcing consistent annotation standards, and firms looking to standardize documentation quality across projects and offices.

• Solo MEP designers and consultants looking to save time on repetitive tagging
• Team leads who need consistent annotation standards across projects and team members
• Firms looking to standardize documentation quality and reduce QC cycles

The Bigger Picture

Autotag is the first product from Bimrock AI, a company building toward a full Automated MEP Design platform. Our roadmap spans documentation automation (Autotag), sketch-to-BIM conversion, rapid MEP design tools, and coordination workflows - all built on the same profile-based automation philosophy.

Autotag is where it starts: reclaiming the hours lost to repetitive annotation so engineers can focus on engineering.
