2025 Update
2024 was a heck of a year at Revit Template. Lots of changes for the better that will enable us to grow but also ensure we continue to maintain our core high quality products and service for our customers.
Rebranding
2024 had us take stock of where we are and the direction we want to go. In order to achieve that goal, we decided to rebrand ourselves from Revit Template to BIM Template. This simply means in the next couple of months you will start to see changes to our branding and website as we transition to BIM Template. We won’t spoil how the new branding will look but we do ask for your patience during this process and know if you do have any questions, you can still contact us at jake@revittemplate.net (or even better update your contact to be jake@bimtemplate.com). For the near future, we will keep our old domain but there will be redirects forwarding to our new URL.
This also means we will be updating our products to match our new branding as well. These changes will mostly be cosmetic, but as usual, we will provide context for changes, and you will always have access to our changelog to make sure you are always up to date!
Product Releases
To kick-start our 2025, we push out a new collection that was in the works during the holidays last year, but we were unable to get out until now.
Our new Ultimate Wall Collection takes the best bits from our automated wall documentation system found in our Ultimate Template and expanded it to create a diverse wall library that matches a range of needs. With this system, team members can search for assembly type, structural material, thickness, fire rating/testing authority number, along with other assembly attributes to match a range of construction conditions. Once set up, team members will no longer need to review lengthy documentation and generate potentially inaccurate assemblies for each project. Team members only need to open our library, copy and paste the assembly needed into your template and BOOM, already documented and ready to issue!
We also issued new updates to our Ultimate template reflecting new standards in our Ultimate Wall collection along with a couple other goodies such as our new revision documentation system, new break line options, updated user guide, and much more!
Lastly, we provided a much-needed quality of life update to our Pro Hatch Pattern Collection that includes a clear grouping of pattern types, user guide integration, and general standards cleanup.
All these updates have been distributed to our Collection customers who qualify for the upgrade! We recommend you review our product updates page to review the changes and see if they apply for your team!
Upcoming Product Releases
We have a long line of new products we want to release but our first priorities will focus on the following collections.
First is the release of our Ultimate Window Collection. This product has been in the works for a while now but is quite time-consuming to produce. Simply put, windows are freaking complicated. I would argue windows are much harder to produce when the goal is to provide accurate 3D geometry while staying flexible and light weight. It is our most ambitious product to date, and we are quite far along in the development process. We only need a few more window types and additional assets such as trim, sills, lintels, and opening actions. This is our product priority number one and will be the next product release. So, keep an eye out and make sure you are signed up to our newsletter.
Many customers reached out to us in 2024 asking for railing and stair collections to support their projects. We hear you and that is on our list for 2025! We already have the beginnings of a collection in our Ultimate Template product but there is still plenty of room for improvement and expansion. Call those tasters. 😉
Lastly, we plan to create a robust collection of detail items to support a better drafting workflow. We are not satisfied with the default Revit drafting details. They are not graphically flexible enough, linked notation needs more options, resolution, nor number of details. We will provide more information in the coming months about all our future projects.
BIM Management Services
Some of you may already know we provide customized templates for teams who need a little more help getting everything tuned up to match their specific deliverables and pipeline workflows. However, did you know we also provide BIM management services? Like every good house, it requires some maintenance to keep everything in working order. Whether it’s a project kickoff meeting or you need assistance on best modeling practices. We are there to help and offer expert guidance!
Revit Add-In(s)
Did you know we developed an add-in? We did! Our add-in allows users to rename anything, views, schedules, families, sheets, etc. in Revit with the blink of an eye without having to manually rename everything. Do you need to add a prefix to all your materials? A task that would normally take WAYYYY too much time is completed with a snap of your fingers. It has been massively helpful for us, and we want our customers to benefit as well.
However, there have been a few roadblocks delaying its release for reasons we won’t get into, but we are actively working on getting past the finish line! Those who purchased our Ultimate Template V2.0+ will have a year subscription to the add-in as soon as we release it…along with of our other add-ins coming this year!
We are actively working on an add-in that massively helps with updating View Templates across projects! Along with a tool that provides more granular support for Type Matching families and parameters.
Keep an eye out for our newsletters and/or socials for news!
Revit Course
Probably the biggest news we have for 2025 is our upcoming Revit course! We have been working behind the scenes for the start of something amazing! Our vision is to create a community hub for individuals to learn everything you need to get started with Revit, and beyond! Taking anyone from absolute beginner to advanced production workflows all guided by industry experts!
As we continue to grow, we will expand access to software that goes beyond Revit to provide a comprehensive industry software knowledge hub! Revit, Bluebeam, Naviswork, Speckle, Revisto, Archicad, Sketchup, you name it!
Members who join will have early access to new products, members only discounts for our other products and services, a member’s only channel to source high quality community help, the best industry tips and tricks, and access to new courses throughout the year!
If you are a large firm and want an affordable solution to support your team, we will offer group pricing. Or if you are a student or a university you will also have access to discounted pricing!
We intend to open our course at the beginning of Q2 of this year and we will release pricing closer to the release date along with regular updates. In the meantime, members who sign up to the waitlist below will get a 50% discount code at launch! Sign up now!
Product Structuring Update
We have been so happy with all the positive feedback from our products over the past few years and we intend to maintain our high quality and continue to improve what we offer so our customers know they are getting their investments worth.
That is why we are excited to announce we are upgrading our Bundle and Template packages to include additional investment benefits:
1 free 1:1 training session so managers can quickly understand our products, what is needed to customize to match standards, and how best to implement and train the rest of your firm.
1 annual license to our Revit Add-In that includes all tool expansions as they are released for the next year.
1 annual subscription to our coursework!
That’s not all, customers who purchase our individual products will receive discounts on our coursework, add-ins, and 1:1 training.
These features along with pricing updates will go into effect March 1st. So, if you were thinking about getting our products, I would recommend purchasing them now before the change!
We are excited about what 2025 has in store for us and we hope you are just as excited as we are!
