Jotools Revit
Works with rooms, doors, windows, structural framing, grids, and even mechanical equipment.
Run the tool with pre-selected elements to renumber them instantly.
Yes—TransferSingle v4.0.0 added the ability to transfer parameters between families, including Family-to-Model and Model-to-Family transfer. The only limitation is transferring from a Family to a Model, which Revit’s API doesn’t currently permit.
Yes. ElementRenumbering already supports Revit 2026 (version 2.1.0, released April 2026). TransferSingle has been updated across 10+ Revit versions, and updates for new Revit versions are included free with your perpetual license. jotools revit
—developed by Juan Osborne—is a collection of highly practical, lightweight plugins designed to eliminate tedious micro-tasks and streamline Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. Unlike bloated software suites that overwhelm the interface, these focused utilities solve specific, real-world productivity bottlenecks faced by architects and BIM managers daily. Key Utilities in the JOTools Suite
If you’re new to JOTools, here’s a suggested order based on “most likely to save you hours immediately”:
In the fast-paced world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. Architects, engineers, and BIM managers are constantly looking for ways to reduce repetitive tasks and focus on design innovation. has emerged as a powerful, specialized suite of plugins designed to bridge the gap between complex modeling requirements and streamlined execution. Works with rooms, doors, windows, structural framing, grids,
For architects focusing on documentation, Jotools often enhances native tools like the Paint (Split Face) and Split Element tools, making it easier to divide walls and apply materials without creating extra 3D geometry.
No. JOTools primarily offers —pay once, get free updates for all future Revit versions.
This is the most popular tool in the JOTools family. It completely changes how you move data between different Revit project files. The only limitation is transferring from a Family

Minimizing manual data entry reduces human error, ensuring the model remains accurate throughout the project lifecycle.
A Revit model is a high-entropy environment. Without constant management, the data within a model tends toward chaos: unassigned parameters, inconsistent naming conventions, and disconnected schedules. Jotools functions as an entropic regulator. Through its various utilities, it allows users to impose order across thousands of elements simultaneously. This technical capability has a profound psychological effect on the design team; it fosters a sense of control and reliability, ensuring that the "digital twin" accurately reflects the physical intent without the fatigue of manual verification. 3. Democratizing Automation
: It allows you to move complete layout sheets along with their active model views and notes between files, which standard Revit cannot do.
While other productivity tools exist (e.g., DiRoots, PyRevit), JOTools is distinguished by its specific focus on "systematic distribution" and "advanced geometry management".
