Summary:
Chaos Product Marketing Manager Anna Markova introduces Glyph, a Revit plugin designed to automate and standardize documentation tasks. Discover how Glyph can streamline your workflow and free up more time for what matters most—designing.
Every architect knows the story: you’ve refined your design in Revit, maybe even explored it beautifully in Enscape, and now comes the grind… documentation.
Views. Tags. Dimensions. Sheets. Repeat.
The creative rush stalls as you plough through the same clicks you’ve done a hundred times before—that’s exactly why Glyph exists.
What is Glyph?
Glyph is your Revit autopilot for construction documentation, a plugin that turns tedious setup into smooth, one-click workflows. It handles the grunt work so you can stay in design mode.
No more starting from scratch every time. Glyph automates and standardizes everything: view and sheet creation, tagging, dimensioning, view placement on sheets, all with smart, reusable “bundles” that execute entire workflows instantly.
Create your own bundles and tasks for your firm, and share those same bundles and tasks with your peers so they can automate 80% of their documentation with a single click.
What you can do with Glyph
- Automatically generate views and sheets using consistent templates and naming conventions.
- Apply tags and dimensions according to firm standards.
- Run complete workflows—from plans and elevations to full sets of sheets with tags and dimensions—with a single action.
- Share automation bundles and templates across teams for consistent output.
And this isn’t just basic automation. Glyph comes with Copilot, an intelligent AI assistant experience. Simply tell it what to do in plain language (“create dimensioned plans for Level 2 and tag all rooms”) and it just happens.
The result? Fewer clicks. Fewer errors. Cleaner drawings. Happier clients. More time doing what you actually love: designing.
Who benefits from Glyph
- Architects and interior designers: Automate repetitive tasks and maintain consistency across every project.
- Engineers: Streamline tagging and dimensioning to focus on design and coordination.
- Construction professionals: Produce clear, standardized documentation for smoother communication.
- BIM managers: Enforce company standards and improve team efficiency with predictable, automated results.
Why it matters for users
- Focus on design: Automation frees architects and BIM managers from repetitive documentation so they can concentrate on design and coordination.
- Efficiency & profitability: Time saved reduces costs and allows more iterations or projects within the same schedule.
- Consistency & quality: Standardized naming, tagging, and dimensioning improve drawing clarity and reduce errors or rework.
- Scalable BIM workflows: Supports linked models across disciplines (architectural, structural, MEP), ensuring coordinated documentation.
- Office standardization: Shared task “bundles” capture firm standards and streamline onboarding and project continuity.
The perfect partner for Enscape users
If you’re already using Enscape, Glyph is the other half of your Revit dream team.
Enscape lets you visualize your design in real time. Glyph uses that same model to generate accurate and precise documentation.
Tweak a lobby in Enscape, see the results instantly, then let Glyph auto-generate the updated drawings in seconds. It’s seamless, it’s smart, and it keeps creativity and documentation perfectly in sync. Together, they help architects spend less time setting up, and more time designing spaces that inspire.
