How it works
An interactive spreadsheet, linked to the model.
IQ Tools reads the Revit data from your model. The grid lists parameters for each category you load. Edit and update parameters in the Grid. Review your changes in IQ Tools before you synch them into your model.
Read
Read copies data from Revit; Revit stays responsive.
Cache
Model data lives in a local SQLite file on your local machine.
Stage
Edits are held in the cache and shown as pending.
Sync/Review
Exact changes are shown. Optional refusal per cell. Synch changes as one transaction.
No coding
No Dynamo, no Python, no prompts - every workflow is a Group, Sort, Filter, Fill-down or Find-and-Replace. Faster and more reliable than coding or prompts in AI.
Writes
Explicit, batched and reviewable — a refused cell never blocks the rest of the batch.
Worksharing
An item checked out by a colleague is refused and displays their name. The rest of the changes synch.
For IT
Runs as a separate application beside Revit.
What this means at your desk

Efficiency matters most
Fifty mouse or keyboard clicks = one lost minute.
Native Revit data is found in dialog boxes or on the Ribbon. Editing data is often several layers deep. IQ Tools puts all the data in a simple grid. Click tax per edit is dramatically reduced.
Door edits to 50 door types in a native Revit Schedule: 9.87 s measured live by the Revit API. IQ Tools made the same 50 edits as one batch in 0.27 s measured live by the Revit API.
Commit 50 door edits · measured both sides
Mean native latency 197 ms per transaction; batch, 5.5 ms per element.
[Video · 15 s]
Side by side, real time, no cuts. A timer under each half.
V2 · standalone clip, kept separate from the master film.
Quick wins
Two common issues. No native answer.
Visibility Diagnosisread
"Why can't I see it?" 12 causes checked fast.
Pick the element. 12 reasons an element is not visible checked instantly. IQ Tools shows the one that applies. Native Revit: six dialog boxes, 20 minutes+ wasted, or call the BIM Manager.
Still S8 · to capture when the UI is final
Twelve rows, one marked as the cause, the element highlighted in Revit behind it.
Chapter 9 of the master film · 4 s. Pick a hidden element in the grid, open the diagnosis, the cause row lights up, fix it, the element appears.
12 clicks → 2 · 35.1 s → 4.45 s predicted
Warnings Triageread
Warnings you can sort, count and isolate.
Revit's Warnings dialog allows you to access one warning at a time, selectable only by element ID. IQ Tools shows you a type name and a warning count. Isolate and resolve all warnings related to an element in one click.
Still S15 · to capture when the UI is final
Warnings by kind with counts; one selected; Revit isolated to its elements.
Chapter 10 of the master film · 5 s. Sort by count, pick the top kind, click a warning, Isolate: Revit shows only its elements.

less physical workload: 1,250 clicks and 679 keystrokes reduced to 73 and 47.
Machine times measured; human times predicted the same way both sides.
Hardened
Shaped by what broke, on live projects.
IQ Tools was beta tested in a working architectural firm. Used in live project models, during real workflows and deadlines.

Nothing here needs to be taken on trust.
- Run your own test in IQ Tools.
- Time three workflows in Revit. Then in IQ Tools.
