Autotag by Bimrock AI is a Revit-native plugin that automates MEP annotation—tagging HVAC, piping, and electrical systems across entire projects with intelligent placement, filtering, and overlap avoidance.
What is Autotag by Bimrock AI?
Autotag by Bimrock AI is a plugin built directly into Revit for MEP annotation automation. It takes a Revit model (including linked models, BIM 360/ACC cloud workshared models, and custom families) as input and produces tagged sheets with clean leader lines and no overlapping tags. The software is developed by Bimrock AI, a company focused on automating MEP design workflows. Download on Autodesk App Store.
Key Features
- Define once, tag everywhere — Create tagging profiles using built-in defaults or custom rules for MEP categories and tag families, then apply consistently to any view.
- Intelligent tag placement — Four positioning strategies (inside elements, adjacent, around, or outside crop regions) with automatic fallback to avoid overlaps.
- Filter by element attributes — Tag only what matters using filters for element type, system type, direction, or minimum length.
- Automatic overlap avoidance — Tags are arranged to avoid overlapping other tags and model elements; overlap and orientation rules are adjustable to match firm standards.
- Edit and clean up leaders — Edit all tags at once or individually; organize leader lines and align elbows for presentation-ready sheets.
- Batch-process multiple views — Apply a tagging profile to an entire building’s documentation in a single operation.
- Shareable team profiles — Export profiles and share them across your team so every sheet follows the same standards, from intern to senior designer.
- Works with existing Revit families — No special families required; map any parameter defined on your elements during profile setup.
Who is it for?
- Individual MEP designers and consultants — Automate repetitive tagging tasks and reclaim hours per project, focusing on engineering instead of annotation.
- MEP firms and studios (10–20 designers) — Standardize annotation output across the team with shareable profiles, reducing QC surprises and rework.
- Enterprise BIM/VDC departments (25+ users) — Scale annotation automation with floating licenses, dedicated account support, and co-created profiles tailored to company standards.
What can you do with Autotag by Bimrock AI?
- Batch-tag an entire building — Apply a single profile to all views in a project at once, eliminating tagging as a bottleneck for CD sets.
- Enforce firm-wide annotation standards — Create a profile once and share it with the team; ensure senior designer-level output from every designer without manual oversight.
- Speed up documentation for MEP systems — Tag ductwork, piping, and electrical elements with one click, while overlap avoidance reduces redlines and rework.
How does it work?
- Open Autotag from the Revit ribbon and select or create a tagging profile (built-in defaults or custom rules). 2. Choose views to process—single view or batch-select an entire building. 3. Run the tagging operation; Autotag places tags using defined strategies and auto-avoids overlaps. 4. Optionally edit tags or clean up leaders using the built-in editing tools. 5. Save and share the profile with your team for consistent output.
