WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architecture and engineering teams spend countless hours on repetitive, tedious tasks: managing model parameters, creating sheets and views, filtering large models, organizing families, processing point clouds, and automating drawing production. These manual workflows delay projects, introduce errors, and waste billable time that could be spent on design and engineering work.

The Solution

DiRoots develops custom plugins and automation tools that integrate directly into Revit, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D to eliminate repetitive work. DiRootsOne provides 12 pre-built productivity tools (parameter management, sheet generation, filtering, point cloud handling) at $115/year. For complex workflows, DiRoots delivers custom add-ins, web applications, and desktop tools built to each firm's specific needs—clients report 90%+ time savings on automatable tasks.
