Managing multiple Revit files and their interconnected links has long been a time-consuming challenge for BIM professionals. Whether preparing models for coordination reviews in Navisworks or updating project links across dozens of files, these repetitive tasks can consume hours of productive time every week.

ZeConnect addresses these workflow bottlenecks with two powerful Revit plugins that automate what used to be manual, tedious processes. By enabling batch operations without opening individual files and streamlining link management, ZeConnect helps AEC teams reclaim valuable time while reducing the risk of human error in their BIM workflows.

Batch NWC Export

Transforms the way teams prepare models for coordination reviews by automating the export process to Navisworks format. Instead of opening each Revit file individually, extracting 3D views, and exporting them one by one, users can process multiple files simultaneously through background operations.

Link Remapper

Solves the common headache of managing and updating Revit file links. When project file structures change, files are relocated, or cloud project paths are updated, this tool allows users to remap multiple links at once without the tedious process of reloading each link individually.

General Usage Instructions

How It Works

Batch NWC Export

  • Selection Process: Users start by selecting multiple Revit files from their workspace. The plugin supports both local file storage and cloud-hosted projects on ACC or BIM 360, so teams can work seamlessly whether files are stored on local servers or in the cloud.
  • Automated View Extraction: Once files are selected, the plugin automatically extracts all available 3D views from each file through background processing. This happens without opening the Revit interface, saving significant time and system resources.
  • Export Configuration: Before exporting, users can configure comprehensive options to control what data gets included in the NWC files — element properties, room geometry, and coordinate systems. These settings ensure that exported files contain exactly the information needed for downstream coordination tasks.
  • Automated Export Process: After configuration, the plugin batch exports selected views to Navisworks NWC format. Files are automatically named according to user preferences and saved to designated destination folders, with the entire process running in the background.

Link Remapper

  • Link Visibility and Selection: When users open the plugin, they see a complete list of all Revit links present in the active document, giving immediate visibility into the model's link structure. Users can then select specific links that need remapping rather than processing all links at once.
  • Path Selection: For each selected link, users browse and choose new file paths. The plugin supports both local storage locations and cloud-hosted projects on ACC or BIM 360, which is crucial for teams transitioning between local and cloud workflows or working in hybrid environments.
  • Batch Remapping: After new paths are chosen for all selected links, the plugin automatically remaps and loads all links in batch mode. This eliminates the need to remap each link individually through Revit's standard interface, dramatically reducing the time required to update complex models.

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.

Solibri CheckPoint

Solibri CheckPoint is an easy-to-use, cloud based model checking solution for Revit and IFC models that seamlessly connects with ACC or Procore. Plug and play to run automatic model checking within minutes.

ConstructAI

ConstructAI automates one of construction's biggest bottlenecks: turning 2D structural drawings into fabrication-ready BIM models. We upload your PDF drawings, and our agentic AI reads, classifies, and rebuilds every wall, beam, and rebar detail into a native Revit model at LOD 350—material takeoffs included free. What normally takes 3–6 weeks of manual detailing gets compressed into 1–2 days, cutting modeling time by up to 77%. We're already working with structural teams at Fortune 500 builders and global GCs.
