LeGen

Automatic Revit legend creation from view filter overrides

Revit plugin by Camilion that automatically generates legend views using the color and pattern overrides applied to view filters, enabling one-click legend creation and refresh without manual drafting.

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Revit users manually create and maintain legend views by drawing fill regions and text annotations one entry at a time, which is tedious and error-prone. When filter colors change, legends must be recreated from scratch, costing architects and BIM managers significant time on every revision.

The Solution

LeGen reads the filter overrides already applied to a Revit view and generates a fully formatted legend view in seconds. Legends can be refreshed with a single click when filter settings change, eliminating manual redrafting.

Exactly what this tool uses and how

Input

What it needs

Required: Revit view with at least one filter override applied

Optional: Custom legend sizing parameters (line height in mm), Pattern inclusion preference

Formats: RVT

Output

What you get

Format: Revit Legend View with annotated fill regions and text notes

Fields: Filter name or type parameter as legend label, Filled region matching filter surface/cut pattern color, Projection line or cut line graphics per filter setting, Pinned legend elements to prevent accidental edits

Algorithm

How it works

Model: Rule-based extraction using Revit API (no AI/ML model)

Accuracy: Deterministic — pixel-exact match to the filter override colors and patterns in the source view
