Schema — View Layout Manager — cover image

What it does

The add-in records sheets, viewports, and schedule placements from a Revit model in a portable .schema.json file. The file contains layout information such as sheet names, positions, sizes, and view types, without model geometry or project-specific data. For another model, Schema identifies available views, proposes assignments to layout slots, and places the selected views and schedules on sheets. The target model must already contain the required views; Schema does not generate view types or view templates.

«Schema is a Revit add-in that solves one of the most repetitive tasks in BIM project setup: recreating the same sheet and viewport arrangement on every new model.
