About me

I’m an Extra-Low Voltage systems engineer with a BSc in Architectural Technology & Construction Management, specializing in Revit-based electrical design workflows for fire alarm, access control, CCTV, IT, public address, and related systems. I bring over 5 years of experience as a systems installer and serviceman, giving me a practical, field-tested understanding of how designs translate into successful installations.

Alongside engineering, I develop custom Revit plugins and Windows applications in C#/.NET and Python—streamlining workflows, automating repetitive tasks, improving data accuracy, and accelerating documentation for engineering teams.

Managing DWG files and their layers in Autodesk Revit can be a time-consuming and repetitive task, especially when dealing with complex projects or multiple linked CAD files. CAD Manager is the ultimate plugin designed to revolutionize your workflow, giving you precise control over DWG visibility and layer settings directly in your Revit views.

Key Features:

  1. Dynamic DWG and Layer Visibility Control
    Toggle entire DWG files on or off in a specific view.
    Enable or disable individual DWG layers effortlessly.
    Override visibility settings even when a view template is applied.
  2. Real-Time Updates Without View Template Limitations
    Make real-time changes to DWG and layer visibility without modifying view templates.
  3. Save and Load Visibility Settings
    Save your DWG visibility and layer configurations to a database and reuse them in future projects or views.
  4. Enhanced Workflow Efficiency
    Reduce clicks, minimize errors, and keep your project organized with an intuitive interface.
