Start here
Start with the task that costs you the most time each week, and try it on a small, non-confidential sample first.
Which workflow fits?
Run clash and issue coordination in one BIM platform instead of email
BIM collaboration platforms combine models and sheets, track issues and push them back to authoring tools.
Conventional automation Clash tools flag geometry, not constructability. Coordinators still judge every issue.
Open the workflow →Renumber Revit viewport detail numbers by their position on the sheet
A Dynamo graph or pyRevit script reads viewport positions on each sheet, groups them into rows and columns, and assigns detail numbers in your grid convention without the 'Detail Number is already in use' error.
Conventional automation Run on a detached copy first. Check sheet references and callouts after renumbering.

Get ready once
- Tool access and a confirmed license.
- A sample project file you are allowed to share.
- A reviewer for anything that leaves your desk.
Know when to stop
- Stop if inputs, units or code editions are unclear.
- AI output and clean software reports do not establish adequacy; the professional of record is responsible.
A practical sequence
- Pick one workflow.
- Run it on a sample.
- Check the result against the source.
- Adopt it on a live project with review.
