What it does

Plot by Revision started with a post on the Autodesk Idea forums. Several people were asking for a better way to build a print set from revisions. We needed the same thing, built what most of them were asking for, and published it a few months later.

The add-in lets you find sheets based on revisions, sheet schedules, or custom parameters and send them straight to Revit's print selection. Instead of going through the sheet list one by one, check the revisions you need and all their sheets are ready to print.

It works with Revit's in-session print selection only. It never creates or modifies saved View/Sheet Sets. Your project stays clean.

Features

01

Revision-based selection

See all revisions in your project with sheet counts. Check the revisions you need and all their sheets join the print selection instantly. The list shows sequence numbers, dates, descriptions, and issued status.

02

Sheet schedule integration

Pull sheet numbers directly from any sheet schedule column. Perfect for a filtered submittal package. Auto-detects the sheet number column.

03

Parameter filtering

Filter sheets by any parameter value: discipline, phase, package, area, or any custom parameter you've set up. Select a parameter, pick a value, and add all matching sheets.

04

Quick text filter

Narrow the revision list instantly by typing a sheet number or name. Useful when you only want sheets from a specific area or discipline within a revision.

05

Custom sort order

Sort selected sheets by any parameter before printing. Natural sort handles sheet numbers correctly (A2 before A10). Your sort preference is remembered between sessions.

06

Non-destructive

Works entirely with the in-session print selection. Never creates, modifies, or deletes saved View/Sheet Sets. Open the Print dialog when everything is set and you're done.

07

Drag-drop reordering

Reorder selected sheets by dragging them in the Selected Sheets view. Multi-select supported, so you can move entire groups at once. Column order is also customizable and persisted.

08

9 languages

Full localization in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. The interface automatically matches your Revit language setting.
