AutoSmith Openings Builder 1.0.1

Introducing Openings Builder — the ultimate Autodesk® Revit® add-on designed to transform the way your team manages MEP coordination and structural openings. No more tedious manual opening placement or error-prone workflows. Openings Builder helps engineers, architects, and BIM professionals streamline the coordination process with precision, speed, and confidence.

Why Choose Openings Builder?

In every MEP project, coordinating wall penetrations for pipes, ducts, and cable trays is a critical task that often slows down project schedules. Openings Builder changes that by intelligently automating the creation of wall and floor openings, saving countless hours of work and minimizing coordination errors.

Whether you're working in complex high-rise buildings or fast-paced industrial facilities, Openings Builder ensures your models are always coordinated and collision-free, without the need for manual operations.

Key Features

• Automatic Opening Creation: Detects MEP components stored in linked models and automatically creates correctly positioned and sized wall and floor openings—maintaining consistency with your design intent.
• Supports Linked Models & Host Models: Whether your MEP systems are in linked models or the host project itself, Openings Builder detects them seamlessly.
• Accurate Gap Placement: Gaps are placed exactly where they need to be, adhering to the shape and orientation of MEP components, even for tilted or rotated pipes and ducts.
• Intelligent Orientation Matching: Automatically rotate and orient gap groups to match bushing orientation, ensuring consistency across all penetrations.
• Real-Time Performance: Process complex models efficiently with high-performance detection algorithms, helping teams maintain workflow speed even on large-scale projects.
• Customizable Workflow: Tailor the tool to your project standards. Use your favorite gap groups and set dimensional tolerances as needed.
• Error Reporting: Tracks unprocessable components and notifies you with clear, actionable details—ensuring complete control of the process.
• Simple User Interface: Designed with usability in mind, even non-technical Revit users can implement the tool effectively after a short onboarding period.
• Continuously Updated: With regular feature enhancements and user-requested enhancements, Openings Builder is constantly evolving to meet the demands of modern BIM collaboration.
