🔧 Revit Add-in

Place wall sleeves
automatically.

Wall Sleeve Cuts scans your linked MEP model, detects every duct, pipe, and cable tray that crosses a wall, then places a dimensioned sleeve family, cuts the wall, and generates a fully populated schedule — all in one click.

From linked MEP model
to placed, cut, and tagged

Wall Sleeve Cuts handles the full sleeve workflow — detection, placement, wall cutting, marking, and scheduling — without a single manual step.

🔍

Automatic Intersection Detection

Every duct, pipe, and cable tray in the linked MEP model is tested against every wall face using precise geometric intersection — no manual selection, no misses.

✂️

Wall Cutting

Placed sleeves cut their host walls automatically using Revit's void geometry API. The opening is visible immediately in the 3D view — no separate step required.

🏷️

Smart Mark Generation

Each sleeve receives a unique Mark value that encodes the service type and MEP system name — making sleeves easy to identify, filter, and coordinate across disciplines.

Clearance Control

Set top, bottom, and side clearances in millimetres before each run. Fire-rated walls automatically receive an additional clearance margin. Cable trays use asymmetric clearances.

📊

Auto-Populated Schedule

A Wall Sleeve Schedule is created automatically. Every sleeve is tagged with service type, system name, linked model, dimensions, clearances, and host wall ID — ready for coordination.

🔗

Linked Model Picker

If the project has multiple linked models, a clear dialog lists all loaded links so you can choose the MEP model without clicking elements in the viewport.

🎯

Scope Selection

Run on the entire project or limit to the currently active 3D view — useful for checking individual levels or running on a sub-set of walls during coordination.

Insulation Aware

If ducts or pipes have insulation applied in the linked model, the sleeve dimensions automatically account for it — the sleeve width and height include the insulation thickness.

Zoom & Select After Placement

After each run, choose to zoom directly to all placed sleeves in your 3D view, or open the Wall Sleeve Schedule — both accessible from a single post-run dialog.

Four steps, start to finish

From your architectural model with a linked MEP model to a fully coordinated sleeve set — in under a minute.

01

Set clearances & scope

Enter top, bottom, and side clearances in mm. Choose Active 3D View to process only visible walls, or Entire Project for a full run.

02

Pick the MEP link

If multiple linked models are loaded, a dialog lists them all. Select the MEP model. If only one link is loaded, it is selected automatically.

03

Automatic processing

A live progress bar shows wall-by-wall processing. Intersections are detected geometrically. Sleeves are placed, dimensioned, marked, and walls are cut in one transaction.

04

Review & navigate

The summary dialog shows exactly how many sleeves were placed. Open the Wall Sleeve Schedule, or zoom directly to placed instances in your 3D view — your choice.

See it in action

A clean two-step UI — configure clearances, then review results. No complex setup, no manual element selection.

Wall Sleeve Settings — Scope and Clearance configuration
Set clearances (mm) and choose processing scope before each run. Fire-rated walls automatically receive an additional clearance margin.
Processing progress bar — wall by wall with running sleeve count
A live progress bar shows wall-by-wall processing with a running count of sleeves placed so far.
Wall Sleeves Complete — summary with CommandLinks to schedule and 3D view
The summary dialog reports every key metric. CommandLinks let you open the schedule or zoom directly to placed sleeves in your 3D view.
