Night Runner
Featured add-ins are the heavy-hitters – the tools we think you’ll use the most (or the ones we’re secretly most proud of).
Do you ever discover inconsistencies between your Revit files from the same project? Maybe your project starts to look like three different projects stitched together? Maybe you should let a brilliant piece of software fix that for you instead of pulling an all-nighter moving data around? Night Runner is a Revit Add-In designed to synchronize families, types, and settings across multiple Revit files. It’s a game changer for projects large and small!
Change the conversation
In a typical project there is a great plan, and then people start working and the plan is long forgotten. The model gets messy, and the BIM Manager gets the blame. It’s not fair! Everyone can bring in their content whenever they like and then you’re stuck with the job of harmonizing it all. Enter NightRunner! The Revit Add-In that provides greater control over the content in your design. It helps you find the inconsistencies in your content, and the option to fix them automatically. Instead of imploring each project member to use the same content, the person tasked with model coordination can control the content. This changes the conversation and makes it possible to control the flow of information across models and enables a consistent high-quality design.
Compare
You can compare several design files to a type (template) file and get a report of the differences. This allows you to monitor the level of inconsistency in the projects and take proactive steps to improve the quality of the design. A good idea is to run the compare function for a while to get a sense of the standardization potential and see where NightRunner excels before enabling the automated synchronizationl.
Push and Pull
With Push & Pull you are in full control of how the content should flow between your files. Build unidirectional graphs and push from one source file to one or more destination files. Select what you want to transfer from the Push/Pull window or use your Revit selection to pick the families and types to transfer. Imagine you just modeled that new advanced door family. Now you can easily load it into the type file and transfer it to all relevant design models. Pushing is a project admin feature by default because it must be used responsibly. Pulling is something that any team member can use to pre-load content into their own design files.
Night Runs
Large projects are always slow - it is a fact of Revit life. It can take time to analyze your models or sync the differences. Instead, you can set up a Night Run comparison, a scheduled task that does all the work while you sleep. The next morning you get to work to find a consistent design and a comparison report of what was synchronized. You probably feel better rested because you didn’t stay up all night checking, harmonizing and standardizing.
From 3 to 900, NightRunner doesn’t discriminate
NightRunner has been used on projects that have split the model into 3 Revit files, but it’s also been used on modular projects where there have been 900 different Revit files linked together. It handles all sizes and shapes. No discrimination from this hero of the night! For more thoughts on whether to split your Revit model or not have a look at this blog post on our BIMagination blog.

The principal element of Suprematism in painting, as in architecture, is its liberation from all social or materialist tendencies. Through Suprematism, art comes into its pure and unpolluted form.

Since we started working with Reope, we have been able to convert our automation ideas into real workflows. The mix of skills they have, combining architectural understanding and coding expertise, have meant they understood our struggles and were able to create solutions in such a short time, we could implement them straight away.
