DatumX Creator Early Access

Opening creation and sync for Revit. DatumX Creator scans your linked MEP and structural models, places sized openings at every wall, floor and beam intersection, then re-scans on demand to catch anything that's drifted out of sync.

01
Manual clash spottingScrolling every linked model view by view to find where ducts and pipes actually cross a wall or beam.
02
Placements go staleThe moment MEP routing shifts, placed openings and the model disagree — and nobody notices until the field does.
03
One-size clearancesCombustible pipe, ductwork and cable tray all need different clearance rules — most tools apply one flat tolerance to everything.
Inside DatumX Creator

Openings placed, then kept honest

Two commands, one shared intersection engine — place with confidence, then prove nothing's drifted.

⧉
Create BWICs

Openings placed and sized automatically.

Scans linked MEP models, detects intersections with walls, floors and structural framing, and places sized opening families automatically.

  • Discipline-specific clearance rules (combustible / non-combustible, duct, tray, conduit)
  • Duplicate-opening detection
  • Dry-run preview before anything is placed
  • Placement report on completion
Revalidate BWICs

Catch drift before the field does.

Re-scans current MEP positions against previously placed openings and flags what's drifted — before it becomes a coordination problem.

  • Flags orphaned openings with no matching MEP
  • Flags new intersections with no opening yet
  • Offers to place the missing ones directly

Why DatumX Creator

Openings you can actually trust

Placement tools stop at the first run. DatumX Creator treats the model as something that keeps changing after coordination — because it does.

✓

Beams, not just walls and floors

Structural framing is a first-class host category in both the export and creation engines — not an afterthought.

↻

Re-sync, not just one-shot placement

Revalidate diffs the current MEP model against previously placed openings, so drift gets caught during coordination, not on site.

±

Standards-referenced clearances

Clearance sizing is discipline- and material-aware — combustible pipe is not treated the same as non-combustible, duct, tray or conduit.

◇

Dry-run before you commit

Preview exactly what will be placed before anything touches the model, and duplicate-opening detection means re-runs don't create clutter.

How it works

From linked models to placed, revalidated openings

Select models

Choose the current model and any linked MEP / structural files to scan — normal, per-link, or merged federated mode.

Detect intersections

Bounding-box and geometric checks find every point MEP crosses a wall, floor or beam.

Size & place

Openings are sized from clearance rules per discipline and material, deduped against existing ones, and placed — or previewed via dry-run.

Revalidate anytime

Re-scan whenever the model changes to flag orphaned or missing openings, and place what's still needed.

Early access

Built around your rollout, not a fixed tier

DatumX Creator is in early access — pricing is scoped to your team size and how you're rolling it out, not a flat self-serve rate. Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.
