you don't love it then you haven't learned what it can do!”

“It
comes with a bunch of other stuff, but as a customer I would pay $200 just for
the excel link. Your tool is going to take a process that currently takes 4 days worth of a professional’s time and reduce it to less
than 4 hours.”

"This
tool has raised you to super-hero status around here!"

"Our
mechanical department has come to rely on your parameter transformer tool as a substitute
for [a competitor’s product] for working with a very large national retail
client. Also the 3D section box tool has become an integral part of our
day to day coordination between disciplines."

Quote on
the Parameter Transformer:
“First,
it’s a filtering tool that’s much more powerful than Revit’s, which is limited
to just category. This allows you go 'grab' any objects and modify any
parameter within those objects. Second, when modifying parameters, you can
point it to an Excel file. Think of it like VLookup
for Revit: It looks up a value in one column and returns a value in the same
row of another column. It could be hugely beneficial to your work flow. I use
it extensively for doing loads, passing information freely back and forth
between Revit and Excel. Check it out, post haste!”

“After setting up the
templates, creating the initial views and all the required sheets just takes a
couple of clicks. We then create any dependent views and using the Parameter
Modifier can assign scope boxes and rename to suit. Finally, using the Excel link,
we'll set the sheet parameters to drive the key and other features. Time to
create and update 1000's of views and sheets can be measured in minutes not
days.
As I said before I'm
very impressed with the tool, and appreciate the regular updates.”
