Document Audit

What it does

Document Audit reviews the views and sheets in your model and lists every documentation problem it finds in one window, sorted by severity. Checks cover tagging, text and dimensions, and sheets and views — and each row explains what's wrong and how to fix it.

It's for architects, documenters and BIM managers who want a final quality check before an issue. Jump straight to each problem, fix it in Revit, tag what's missing, and mark anything intentional as approved so the whole team stops seeing it.

Highlights

• Finds broken, empty and unreadable tags before they reach a printed sheet.
• Flags dimensions whose values have been typed over.
• Picks up leftover placeholder text such as "TBC" in notes, tags and titleblocks.
• Highlights incomplete titleblock and project information fields.
• Spots overlapping tags and viewports, and annotation that will never print.
• Suggests elements you've likely forgotten to tag — and tags them for you.
• One click takes you to the problem, highlighted in its view.
• Approvals are saved in the model, so false positives stay hidden for the whole team.
• Choose which checks run, how severe each one is, and your office's own placeholder words.
• Stays open while you work — refresh to re-check as you fix things.

Before you start

• Revit 2024, 2025, 2026 or 2027.
• An active AECOtools seat or trial — Document Audit is included with a seat.
• Open the project model and make it the active document. Nothing needs to be selected, and any view can be active.
• On big models, switch off checks you don't need or limit the scan to sheets and their placed views in Settings.

Quick start

1. On the Audit panel, click Document Audit. The model is scanned and the window opens.
2. Work down All Issues (most severe first), or pick a tab for one kind of problem.
3. Click Go To to open the view with the problem highlighted, then fix it in Revit.
4. On Likely Missing Tags, use Tag or Tag Selected to add the tags you need.
5. If a row isn't really a problem, click Approve — it moves to the Approved tab.
6. When you've fixed a batch, click Refresh to re-check.
