How it actually runs
An interactive spreadsheet, inside the model.
Edits stage instantly in a local cache; nothing touches the model until you approve the batch in Sync Review, and then it lands as one reviewed transaction — this is separate from Revit's own Synchronize with Central, which you still run afterwards as usual. The grid lists the elements of the open model; linked Revit models are covered in the docs FAQ.
Read
Reads never modify the document; Revit stays responsive.
Cache
Model data lives in a local SQLite file on your disk.
Stage
Edits are held in the cache and shown as pending.
Sync review
The exact batch is shown, refusals per cell, and it lands as one atomic transaction.
No code
No Dynamo, no Python, no prompting — every workflow here is a group, sort, filter, fill-down or find-and-replace and faster than coding or prompting AI
Worksharing
A row checked out by a colleague is refused with their name; the rest of the batch still lands.
Writes
Explicit, batched and reviewable — a refused cell never blocks the rest of the batch.
For IT
Runs as a separate process beside Revit. The deployment brief is published today.
What this means at your desk
Pick the row that is you.
Hours are the moderate scenario from the time study, net of a 15% review allowance — the study shows the arithmetic and the floor.
Documentation Technician
243–341 hr / yr predicted
- Sheet × revision, as a table in four seconds.
- A 100-sheet metadata update: 1,500 keystrokes becomes 24.
Sole practitioner · small studio
20–66 hr / model / yr predicted
- One seat, no BIM department.
- $50 a month: under one billable hour.
BIM Manager
Standards, enforced
- 193 warnings, 26 kinds, ranked by count in 21 milliseconds.
- Collapse spelling variants a schedule cannot show you.
Principal · Director
Risk, accountable
- One Ctrl+Z reverses a whole batch.
- A seat pays for itself in the first week — the pricing page has the arithmetic.
The finding that matters most
Fifty small stalls, one lost minute.
Every cell in a Revit schedule is its own transaction — no single one is dramatic, but fifty of them in one task is unavailable time you sit through.
Committing 50 door edits cell-by-cell froze the interface for 9.87 s measured; IQ Tools made the same 50 edits in 0.27 s measured, as one batch, measured live by the Revit API.
Commit 50 door edits · measured both sides
Mean native latency 197 ms per transaction; batch, 5.5 ms per element.
[Video · 15 s]
Side by side, real time, no cuts. A timer under each half.
V2 · standalone clip, kept separate from the master film.
Two questions with no native answer
Two things you do every week that Revit was not built to do.
Visibility diagnosisread
"Why can't I see it?" Twelve causes, one answer.
Pick the element and all twelve rules that can hide it are checked at once, with the one that applies marked. In Revit that is six modal dialogs.
Still S8 · to capture when the UI is final
Twelve rows, one marked as the cause, the element highlighted in Revit behind it.
Chapter 9 of the master film · 4 s. Pick a hidden element in the grid, open the diagnosis, the cause row lights up, fix it, the element appears.
Workflow 5 · 12 clicks → 2 · 35.1 s → 4.45 s predicted
Warnings triageread
Warnings you can sort, count and isolate.
Revit's Warnings dialog has no sort and no count column. Here each kind is a row with its count. Select a warning and its elements select in Revit; zoom to them or isolate them from the same row.
Still S15 · to capture when the UI is final
Warnings by kind with counts; one selected; Revit isolated to its elements.
Chapter 10 of the master film · 5 s. Sort by count, pick the top kind, click a warning, Isolate: Revit shows only its elements.
Workflow 12 · 2.5 min → 21 s predicted · census 21 ms measured
These are two of fourteen. Every measured workflow is on the Workflows page; the value census below is a third.
Chapter 1 of the master film · 8 s
Seven spellings of one value, collapsed to one. A trailing space is pixel-identical in a Revit schedule; the census lists it with a count.
Three kinds of proof
Measured and hardened, and yours to verify.
Measured · rev D
93.8% predicted
less physical workload: 1,250 clicks and 679 keystrokes reduced to 73 and 47.
Machine times measured; human times predicted the same way both sides.
Hardened
Shaped by what broke, on live projects.
IQ Tools went through beta inside a working architectural practice, on live project models, through their actual workflows and deadlines.
Yours to verify · on your own model
Nothing here needs to be taken on trust.
- Pick one live project, two seats: coordinator and documentation technician.
- Time three tasks before and after, stopwatch not opinion.
