Beyond off-the-shelf tools

DatumX and DatumX Creator solve schedule export and opening coordination the way we'd build them for anyone. Not every workflow problem looks like that — firm-specific parameter setups, one-off data migrations, and QA checks nobody else needs don't fit a packaged plugin. That's the other half of what DatumX does: bespoke Revit add-ins and Dynamo/pyRevit scripts, and getting your team actually using what gets built.

01 — Custom plugins & scripts

Built around how your team actually works

DatumX and DatumX Creator solve problems shared across firms — but every firm also has its own one-off workflow quirks that a packaged plugin will never cover. That's what this service is for: a script or add-in built around your specific case, whether that's a one-time data migration, a naming convention unique to your team, or a QA check that matches exactly how your firm signs off drawings.

Typical problems this covers:

  • Firm-specific parameter workflows — enforcing naming conventions, syncing values across linked models, or populating parameters from an external source (spreadsheet, database, another BIM tool)
  • One-off data migrations — moving parameter data or family instances between templates, projects, or Revit versions without redoing it by hand
  • Non-standard QA checks — model audits and sign-off checks that don't exist as an out-of-the-box schedule or filter, built around how your firm actually reviews a model
  • Repetitive multi-model tasks — anything currently done by opening the same views or running the same steps across dozens of files or levels
Process

Scope call to handoff, four steps

The same shape every time, whether the deliverable ends up being a five-line Dynamo graph or a full add-in with a UI.

Scope call

A conversation about what's actually eating the time — the workflow, the model conditions it needs to handle, and whether it's genuinely automatable before anything gets quoted.

Prototype

A working proof-of-concept against a real (or representative) model, so you're validating the approach before committing to the full build.

Build

The prototype hardened into something a team can rely on — edge cases handled, error states surfaced instead of silently failing.

Handoff

An installable add-in or script plus brief documentation covering what it does, how to run it, and what to check if something looks wrong.

02 — Training & onboarding

Getting a team actually using what's built

A tool nobody on the team knows how to run doesn't save any time. Training covers DatumX's own products or anything custom-built for you — walking the team through the workflow directly with the people who built it, not a generic help article.
