Structural Plan Annotator
Automatically creates grid-based dimensions and tags for structural columns and isolated RC footings in Revit plan views.
Description
Plugin overview
Structural Plan Annotator speeds up structural annotation in Revit plan views by automatically creating dimensions - and optional tags - for structural columns and isolated RC footings. It scans the active view for structural elements and grids, then lets you configure everything in a dialog. Columns mode creates grid-referenced dimensions; RC Footings mode creates footing and chain dimensions with optional tags.

Important guidance
Duplicate tags/dimensions already in the active view are skipped; turning on modification mode removes old annotations first.
