Create Structural Column By Detail Line 1.0

Create Structural Column By Detail Line by D’Bim Tools is an Autodesk Revit add-in that turns your detail lines into fully defined structural columns in just a few clicks. Draw or select the lines that represent column locations, choose a column family and type, set base and top constraints, and the tool will place and orient columns automatically to match each line.

Key features:

• Batch placement from selected detail lines in the active view
• Automatic alignment and rotation based on line direction
• Flexible height control: base/top levels with offsets or fixed height
• Works with rectangular, circular, and custom structural column families
• Placement rules for line start, end, midpoint, or entire segment
• Optional line filtering by style and a minimum length threshold
• Choice to keep or delete the original detail lines after placement
• Clear summary of placed and skipped elements

Typical workflow:

• Sketch or select detail lines that indicate column positions or axes
• Launch the tool and pick the desired column family and type
• Define base/top constraints and any rotation or offset options
• Confirm to create all columns aligned to the selected lines

Ideal for quickly transforming sketches, markups, or traced CAD lines into accurate BIM elements, this tool reduces repetitive work, improves consistency, and accelerates structural modeling. Developed by D’Bim Tools.
