ETools – Placement

Burlakov Evgenii

Place single elements centered or generate arrays with precise spacing. Perfect for fast, accurate placement in rooms in Autodesk® Revit®.

Free

ETools.Placement is a lightweight and efficient Autodesk® Revit® add-in that helps you place families precisely — either centered between two points or as a structured array with equal spacing and consistent edge offsets.

Whether you're placing a single object in the middle of a room or generating multiple instances across a defined area, ETools.Placement ensures fast, accurate, and consistent results. It’s ideal for placing lighting fixtures, diffusers, or other MEP components along ceilings, walls, or floors.

Key Features:

  • Place a single family instance exactly between two selected points

  • Create arrays with a fixed number of rows and columns, evenly spaced with half-spacing from edges

  • Supports both hosted and non-hosted families

  • Optimized for MEP workflows, especially lighting layout

  • Intuitive input window for count and layout configuration

  • Supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026

  • Integrates as a custom tab: "ETools" > Panel: "Placement"

Limitations: This plugin only works with Revit FamilyInstance elements that have a valid location point. System elements such as Cable Trays, Ducts, and Pipes are not supported.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
