Parapet Hub · Pro · Revit 2020-2027

121 categories. 11,893 elements.
One grid. That is a real Revit model, open in Parapet Hub.

Pick anything - by category, family and type, or straight from your Revit selection - read and edit its parameters in one grid, and run the right one-click action for exactly what you picked. 389 actions, each with a dry run before and one Ctrl+Z after.

The Parapet Hub window inside Revit: counts reading 121 categories, 54 elements loaded and 6 columns; ribbon tabs for Rooms, Structure, Grids and levels, Views, Sheets, Annotation and Links with the room tools underneath; a category sidebar with live counts; and a grid of 54 rooms with their numbers, names, levels and areas. — The real window, on a real project: **54 rooms picked, 6 columns showing, and the ribbon has become the room tools** - renumber, finishes, occupancy, tag in every plan, validate, MEP spaces from rooms.

389one-click actions, across every category that matters

176parameters sampled from one model's elements, instance and type

1dry run under every writing tool, before it writes

1Revit undo per action or bulk edit - always

The Properties palette edits one selection. Schedules edit one category. The Hub edits what you actually meant - any mix of elements, any columns, validated, one undo.

The 340-door afternoon

Fire ratings on every door on three levels.

By hand that is select, scroll the palette, type, repeat - or a schedule per category and no way to see what you broke.

Hub: pick Doors → filter → Set value… → 340 written, one undo

The renumber that never ends

Rooms renumbered around the new stair. Again.

Every renumber by hand invites duplicates, and Revit will not warn you until the schedule goes out wrong.

Hub: Renumber by position → Find duplicate numbers → done

The Dynamo graph nobody owns

The person who wrote the graph left in March.

Every one-off script is a liability with your project's name on it. Most of them exist to do one bulk edit.

Hub: the same edit is a button with a dry run - no graph to babysit

1 · Pick anything

A category → family → type tree with live counts, a search over everything, and picks that add up across categories - rooms and doors and sheets together if that is the job. Or press Use Revit selection and start from whatever is selected in the model.

The scope sidebar: a filter box, then categories with live counts - Railings 131, Reference Planes 1,037, Room Tags 361, Rooms 54 ticked and highlighted, Runs 43, RVT Links 6 - and the hint that picks add up. — Every category in the model, with its count. Tick to load, expand to pick families and types, **picks add up**.

11,893 elements is a normal Tuesday

The status bar above is the same model with 12 categories ticked at once: 11,893 elements in the grid, 19 columns, every row checked. The Hub is built for picks that size - loading is instant, filtering is instant, and every tool tells you how many of your targets it actually applies to.

Search, don't browse

One search box over actions, categories and commands - Ctrl+K from anywhere. Type "renumber" and run it on the current pick.

Start from Revit

Use Revit selection loads whatever is selected in the model; Rescan re-reads the model after someone else's sync.

Filter rows like a spreadsheet

Filter by id, family, type or any value; check the rows that match; every action targets checked rows first.

Live counts, honest counts

The status bar answers "what am I about to touch?" before every action - elements loaded, rows checked, columns showing - and keeps a log of everything the window has done. It costs one line at the bottom, not a strip across the top.

2 · Edit in bulk, in one grid

Type into cells, paste a block from Excel, or Set value… on every checked row. Lengths in your project units, yes/no, levels and types by name - validated before anything is written, committed on one Revit undo.

The elements grid: 54 checked room rows with id, category, number, name, level and area columns - Café 643 SF, Pocket Park 1776 SF, Residential Lobby 953 SF - under a toolbar with Filter rows, Set value, Columns and Report buttons. — Real rooms, real areas, live from the model. **Set value…** writes every checked row; **Report** keeps the evidence.

The Columns dialog: available parameters sampled from the loaded elements, grouped under Constraints - Base Constraint, Level, Sill Height, Top Constraint and Unconnected Height ticked, each marked editable or read-only - and the shown-in-order list from Mark to Height. — Columns are **sampled from the elements you loaded** - this model offers 176 parameters - and each one says whether Revit lets it be written or keeps it read-only. No guessing which edit will stick.

The Columns dialog scrolled to type parameters: Finish, Glass, Handle Material, Counter Thickness, Family Name and more, each labelled (type) with its data type and read-only state, with Type parameters ticked. — **Type parameters ride along**: tick "Type parameters" and the family's data joins the grid, labelled *(type)*. A type value is written once per type - the dry run says how many instances change.

3 · A ribbon that follows your pick

Tick Rooms and the ribbon becomes room tools. Tick twelve categories and it becomes a tab per category - plus Edit, View, Manage and Recipes. Nothing is ever offered that cannot act on what you picked, and the All tools switch shows the whole library when you want to browse it.

One pick, Rooms: ribbon tabs for Rooms, Structure, Grids and levels, Views, Sheets, Annotation, Links, Edit, View, Manage and Recipes - with the room tools underneath: Set upper limit, Write area or perimeter to parameter, Renumber, Add number prefix, Total area, Tag, Set occupancy, Set finishes, Move to level, Re-phase rooms, Validate rooms, Find duplicate numbers, Delete unplaced, Create MEP spaces from rooms, Floor from room, Tag rooms in every plan.

One category picked: the room tools, and only the room tools.

Twelve categories picked: two rows of ribbon tabs - Rooms, Walls, Doors and windows, Floors, Ceilings, Curtain walls, Structure, Stairs ramps and railings, Grids and levels, Areas and spaces, Views, Sheets, Annotation, Furniture and equipment, Links, Edit, View, Manage, Recipes - with the Rooms tab active.

Twelve categories picked: a tab for each, and the pick stays loaded while you work through them.

Every tool shows its plan first

Each action opens a small form with a live dry run: how many targets carry the parameter, how many Revit keeps read-only, what will be skipped and why. "Nothing will change" is an answer it gives you before the click, never after.

Honest refusals

When Revit does not allow something, the tool says which category and why, and names the alternative - rooms cannot change phase, so the card points you to Re-phase rooms, which re-creates them. Never a shrug, never a silent no-op.

Errors are named, never a dialog

If Revit refuses a change mid-action - group edit mode, a prohibited name - the action rolls back and the card quotes Revit's own sentence with the element ids. No failure dialog ever appears behind the window.

The action library - 389 one-click Revit actions

A selection from each group. Every action runs in one transaction, reports exactly what it did - "Tagged 14 rooms, 2 skipped (unplaced)" - and reverts with one Ctrl+Z.

4 · Automate it - rules and recipes

The step from "I do this weekly" to "this is one button" is built in, and it never needs a script.

Rules

If … then set, Check rows where…, values built from patterns like {Level}-{Room:Number}-{Type}, fill only where empty, copy from host, worksets by category, plans for every level, tag rooms in every plan. The dry run is the confirmation.

Recipes

Run a few tools, press Save recipe…, and they become one button: every step with its inputs, on any targets, in one undo. A Check rows where… step narrows the targets for the steps after it - that is your rule builder. Export as JSON; a colleague imports it.

Session report

Every edit and action is logged - element, parameter, old → new - and can be copied out for QA. The answer to "what changed in the model this afternoon?" is a list, not a memory.

One transaction, always. Bulk edits and actions commit as a single named Revit transaction. Ctrl+Z reverts the whole thing - the 340-door edit and the 12-step recipe alike.

Plays well with the rest of the family

Link and Audit share the installer and the Parapet tab, one click apart. Desktop and Scan work beside Revit. One Parapet Pro key covers all five.

Need a spreadsheet in the loop?

Parapet Link puts Revit and Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets side by side - every changed cell visible, push and pull with one undo. Edit in Hub sends Link's rows straight into this grid.

Model slow before you start?

Parapet Audit (free) lists every external file and parameter the model carries, grades them, and cleans the junk with one undo - the right first move on an inherited model.

Which model needs you first?

Parapet Desktop audits .rvt files without opening Revit: health score, empty parameters and the purge list for a whole folder of models, before you open one.

Is it built as modelled?

Parapet Scan compares the laser scan with the model and gives every element a verdict - then the failing elements are a selection away from this grid.

Questions

How is Parapet Hub different from schedules or the Properties palette?

Schedules edit one category at a time and have no validation; the Properties palette edits one selection. Parapet Hub shows any mix of categories in one grid with only the columns you choose, validates before writing, commits on one Revit undo and logs every change.

Is every action undo-able?

Yes. Each action runs in a single Revit transaction; Ctrl+Z reverts it. Every writing tool shows a dry run first, destructive ones show exactly what will change, and if Revit refuses a change the card says why in Revit's own words - no failure dialog ever appears behind the window.

Can it edit type parameters?

Yes. The Columns dialog samples every parameter the loaded elements carry - instance and type, 176 of them on the model in the screenshots - and marks which are editable and which Revit keeps read-only. A type value is written once per type, and the dry run says how many instances change.

What is a recipe?

Run a few tools, press Save recipe…, and they become one button: every step with its inputs, on any targets, in one undo. A Check rows where… step narrows the targets for the steps after it. Recipes export as JSON so a colleague can import them.

Does Parapet Hub work with Revit 2026?

Yes - Revit 2020 through 2027, one license key for all versions.

How much does Parapet Hub cost?

$149/year after a 14-day free trial with no card - or $249/year for Parapet Pro, which adds Link, Audit Pro, Parapet Desktop Pro and Parapet Scan for Revit Pro. Each subscription covers 2 computers.
