I found this through Xtracad while seeking a way to auto number MEP Fab. ductwork in Revit. This works very well. Thank you for the offering.

Same for me. A good set of custom tools for Fabrication Parts.

I like what you’ve done for the fab part side of things. The only suggestion I would ask is a prefix/suffix area for the renumbering tool. Other than that it’s a great plugin. Thanks

KJ, that is a good question and one that gets asked quite often. The short answer is yes, there is a prefix and suffix parameter that the software maintains. The Item Number parameter and the prefix/suffix parameters can be combined through standard Revit methods, and can of course be used in tags, schedules, and filters.
The long answer is that the Numbering Tool uses an advanced numerical sorting feature exclusive to VM. Please check out my “What is in a Number” dev blog post on the topic.

Nice plugin! I just wish the VM panel was not in the Modify ribbon, as it forces other panels to be truncated, as well.

Thanks for the feedback Jonah. This will be optional in a future update.
