Essential add-in for all BIM Modelers!

Create your own custom commands to rotate selected elements with a tap of a finger.

You can think of this app as an improved version of the native "Spacebar rotate command" in Autodesk® Revit®.

What's different from the native "Spacebar rotate command":

  • You can use it in any kind of view: plan view, elevation, 3D view...
  • Set up in advance your custom rotation angle and rotation axis.
  • Works with a selection of multiple elements
  • Works with more types of elements: model elements, detail items, grids, sections...

App workflow:

Use this plug-in's settings interface to set up 1, 2 or 3 different Quick Rotate commands.

  • Set their rotation angle
  • Determine their rotation axis

Then, attribute your custom commands to your own keyboard shortcuts, and trigger them with a tap of a finger.

100% free.

Compatible with Revit 2020 to 2024.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How the rotation axis "Normal to the view" works:

In a plan view, elevation, or section, this feature does strictly what it says.

In a 3D view, it behaves a little differently. If your current 3D view is strictly set to one of the primary directions (Front, Back, Top, Bottom, Left or Right), the rotation axis will be normal to the current view direction. However, in the other cases, the rotation axis will be "Z", in order to prevent "odd" rotation axes (that are practically never relevant).
