A complete breakdown of every health check and feature — designed for architects, interior designers, and design teams.
Click Pulse in your Revit Add-ins tab. The dashboard opens and automatically runs a full health check on your active model — no setup needed.
Your model gets a score out of 100. Expand any category to see exactly what's wrong, how many elements are affected, and how many points you'll gain by fixing it.
Jump to any problem element with one click, fix it in Revit, then hit Refresh to see your score climb. Export a PDF report when you're ready to share.
Each check is weighted to reflect its impact on model quality. Weightings can be customised per firm via FirmConfig.json.
Revit warnings are often ignored but accumulate into serious coordination and performance problems. Pulse categorises every warning by type and severity — from "element is slightly off axis" to "opening partially cuts its host" — and deducts points based on count and impact. Critical warnings that affect structural or coordination integrity are flagged separately and always shown first in the fix strip.
Checks for unhosted elements, incorrectly placed components, and geometry issues that affect coordination and documentation quality. Unhosted doors, windows, and hosted families that have lost their host are identified and can be located with a single click.
Large file sizes, imported DWG/CAD files left in the model, excessive linked file counts, and unresolved links all degrade Revit performance. Pulse surfaces these issues with specific counts so they can be addressed systematically.
Checks that views have View Templates assigned, sheet numbers follow your naming convention, and the project browser is consistently organised. Your firm's expected naming patterns can be set in FirmConfig.json — so Pulse validates against your standards, not a generic template.
In-place families bloat file size and cannot be reused across projects. Pulse identifies every in-place family instance, shows its name and count, and flags them as candidates for replacement with loadable families — each with a direct locate button.
Unnamed views, sheets without numbers, and placeholder sheet titles all indicate incomplete documentation setup. Pulse checks naming completeness and flags anything that doesn't meet the minimum standard — critical for issue and construction sets.
Missing shared parameters break schedules, tags, and data exports — often only discovered at the worst possible moment. Pulse flags missing parameters early, and your firm's required parameters can be defined in FirmConfig.json for automatic validation every time.
In workshared models, Pulse checks workset count, whether elements are appropriately distributed across worksets, and whether any worksets remain checked out by users who are no longer active — a common cause of sync conflicts.
One click exports a clean, dated PDF showing your score, category breakdown, and top findings — ready to attach to a project handover, share with your principal, or present to a client.
Every finding links directly to the elements causing it. Click the locate button and Revit jumps straight there — no manual Filter, No searching through the project browser.
Adjust check weightings, score thresholds, and naming patterns to match your firm's standards — just edit a simple text file, no IT help required.
Some deviations are intentional. Mark a finding as excluded and it's removed from your score — tracked separately so nothing slips through unnoticed.
Fix an issue, hit Refresh, and see your score update immediately. Satisfying to use — and a great way to check your work before issuing a drawing set.
Pulse uses your existing Autodesk account for licence validation — nothing extra to set up, no separate logins or licence servers.
Available now on the Autodesk App Store for Revit 2025 and 2026.
