Revit command search plugin with AutoCAD-style command line interface

Revit plugin that simulates AutoCAD's Command Line tool, allowing architects and BIM managers to find and execute any Revit command by typing. Includes quick access via keyboard shortcut (e.g., Spacebar+Shift). Distributed free through Camilion License Manager.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects and BIM managers spend excessive time navigating Revit's complex command menus to locate specific functions, especially those without keyboard shortcuts like "Export IFC" or "Manage Filters." Users transitioning from AutoCAD face a steep learning curve without the familiar command-line interface.

The Solution

Provides a command-line search interface within Revit that mimics AutoCAD's familiar command line, allowing users to find and execute any command by typing. Can be assigned a keyboard shortcut (e.g., Spacebar+Shift) for instant access from anywhere in the workflow.
