Guardian for Revit
Here at Guardian, we believe the pursuit of the perfect BIM model allows for improved performance and efficiencies across the entire project team, thus allowing more time for what you do best; create, design, engineer. Guardian’s automated protections allow this to happen with minimal upfront work for BIM Managers and minimal impact to end-users. Since 2018, Guardian has been dedicated to solving long-standing issues that plague the AEC industry. Guardian is an innovative, multifaceted cloud-based Revit add-in that protects project Revit models and educates users in real-time. Guardian executes this through two distinct aspects: Guardian Project Properties and Guardian User Commands. Guardian's Project Properties protects your firm’s or project’s properties, ensuring that Revit properties always meet your firm’s graphic and project delivery standards throughout the life of the model. Our customers have used Guardian to perfect their Revit infrastructure while improving their project models properties ever closer to that elusive perfection. Since the start of Guardian, Guardian has mapped approximately 460,000 Revit properties, assisting our customers to improve and maintain their firm's and project's graphic and project delivery standards. User Commands is the second key aspect of Guardian. Guardian allows you to provide a friendly message as users start to execute over 80 unique Revit commands, preventing mistakes before they can happen. Since releasing the User Commands feature in January of 2021, Guardian has helped our customers prevent over 13,000 Revit commands from being un-intentionally used. Guardian has saved firms hundreds of hours by preventing mistakes before they happen, allowing for efficiency and accuracy.
