Comparison
A pack of Revit productivity plugins shipped together as DiRootsOne, covering data exchange, filtering, family management, drawing production and point clouds, on a freemium model.
DiRoots (DiRootsOne) is published by DiRoots. Details below were checked on against the sources listed at the bottom of this page. Products change — verify anything you are about to make a decision on.
Freemium. Several plugins are free — including FamilyReviser, OneFilter, ParaManager, PointKit, ReOrdering, SheetGen and ViewManager — with others such as SheetLink, TableGen, QuickViews, SectionBoxer and ViewAligner sold as premium (checked 2026-07-27).
The free tier is genuinely substantial — more free functionality than most vendors give away, and enough that a lot of firms never pay them anything. SheetLink also does something we do not: it exports Revit model data to Google Sheets as well as Excel, and imports the edited data back to update the model, which matters if your data lives in Workspace rather than Office. Their published Revit version support runs from 2018, which is wider back-compatibility than most.
Depth in areas DiRoots does not cover. Facade dimensioning, wall join cleanup, clear-height computation, point-cloud-versus-model deviation heatmaps, stair code compliance and the QC scorecard have no counterpart in the pack. The comparison is less "same tools, different vendor" than the category listing implies — there is real overlap on parameters and sheets, and very little elsewhere.
| Capability | NexionTools | DiRoots (DiRootsOne) |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 12 of 52 tools are free. | Around half the pack is free, permanently. |
| Spreadsheet round trip | Excel .xlsx, with a diff and conflict review before committing changes. | SheetLink — export to Excel or Google Sheets, edit, and import back to update the model. Premium. |
| Family management | Validation on load, heavy-family detection, batch rename. | FamilyReviser — batch rename, organise, update, workset rules. Free. |
| Automated dimensioning | Facade dimensioning with configurable tiers. | Not part of the pack. |
| Point clouds | Per-cloud colouring, and model-versus-scan deviation heatmaps. | PointKit. Free. |
| QC and model health | QC scorecard, warning triage, growth tracking, in-place family detection. | Model checking features; not a scorecard. |
Install the DiRoots free tools regardless — there is no reason not to, and for some firms they cover the whole need. Where they stop is documentation automation and model-health analysis, which is where a paid suite has to justify itself. If SheetLink and FamilyReviser solve your problem, that is a genuinely good and mostly free outcome.
