Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Manual Revit BIM Workflows

BIM and Revit teams waste hours on repetitive manual tasks, uncoordinated models, and broken data exchanges that cause rework and delays.

In their words

The MEP team spent more time auditing the arch model than doing their own coordination.

r/bim on Reddit

this responsibility falls heavily on our designers, and it's becoming a significant source of stress and lost productivity

r/MEPEngineering on Reddit

reliable 3rd party software that is capable of mass editing families

r/Revit on Reddit

We have Revizto too, and that makes things very fast, but since BEP asks for Navis, we have no other option but to use it.

r/bim on Reddit

Native way of dealing with them is terrible. I'm not expecting much - possibility to change point size or cloud density, maybe something to cut up cloud temporarily.

r/ArchiCAD on Reddit

resolving clashes after CDs was finished was like several months more effort

r/MEPEngineering on Reddit

we get Revit exports that are so heavy because they contain things like bolts and hinges when you zoom in. Absolutely not needed.

r/civil3d on Reddit

My biggest headache is having to adjust geometry or revise loads, often manually, mostly early but sometimes throughout the design process.

r/StructuralEngineering on Reddit

This is very time consuming; but works well when the proposed utility alignment moves.

r/civil3d on Reddit

One thing, one line, one cad reference or one wall snapped to the wrong thing and it can cascade for weeks until anybody notices.

r/RevitForum on Reddit

bring this team from a 7/10 to a 10/10 in terms of productivity

r/RevitForum on Reddit

every time the architect sent a revised plan, a big chunk of it had to be redone

r/archviz on Reddit

Showing a novice a 2D elevation does nothing for them.

I work across the world w/ all kinds of other leading archs at early stage with limited timelines, in situations before everyone starts bimming it up.

BIM and Revit teams

Where they talk

  • r/bim
  • r/RevitForum
  • r/MEPEngineering
  • r/civil3d
  • r/Revit
  • r/StructuralEngineering
  • r/ArchiCAD
  • r/civilengineering

Tools they use today

  • Revit
  • Civil 3D
  • Navisworks
  • Dynamo
  • AutoCAD
  • ACC
  • BIM
  • Excel

Why those fall short

  • MCP too slow, expensive, unreliable; API docs wrong, causing debug loops
  • can't mark up in BB as fast as ideas flow; sheets hard to relate
  • Room names and numbers change; spaces break or get deleted; imports land on wrong spaces
  • Archicad locks the main design tool
  • Revit snaps to random off-view references and reports slightly off axis errors
