Pixeltools

Software built by someone who does the work.

Pixeltools is owned and run by a UA union plumber and pipefitter who details MEP in Revit every day. The add-ins automate repetitive tasks, cut clicks, and show project data more clearly. Built from real day-to-day frustration, then refined into tools anyone can rely on.

Why Pixeltools exists

These tools exist because the software Revit users rely on doesn’t always work the way we want. Every plugin addresses a gap, a missing feature, or a workflow that took ten clicks when it should take one. Built out of pure annoyance, refined until they were solid, and shared because other Revit users run into the same problems.

Every tool here started as a repeatable annoyance on a real project: a print run that took too long to set up, a measurement that never matched the model, a selection rebuilt for the hundredth time. The fix became a plugin, the plugin got refined over many revisions, and the ones that earned their place shipped.

That order matters. Nothing here is built to demo well. It’s built to survive a deadline.

What we value

Simple beats clever. Honest behaviour beats a long feature list. A Pixeltools plugin should feel native to the software it runs in, respect your data, and quietly save you time.

Need something custom?

I detail MEP in Revit every day and build the tools the trade keeps asking for. If your shop has a workflow that could use its own plugin, email me at [email protected] and tell me what is eating your time.

01 · Privacy

Plain-language policy.

The privacy policy explains what the website and add-ins use, store, and connect to in normal terms.

02 · Built to hold up

Made for the messy cases.

Built to handle the edge cases Revit throws at you, not just the clean demo. Tested hard before anything ships, and every feature earns its place.

03 · Feels native

Quietly familiar.

Standard shortcuts, familiar patterns, proper undo support. Behaviour that fits the host software instead of fighting it. Nothing exotic to relearn.
