For years, EVOLVE has been known as the go-to Revit plugin that helps MEP contractors model faster and build smarter. But today, we’re moving beyond the idea of being “just a plugin.” EVOLVE is transforming into a full ecosystem (what we call vdcOS) built to unify your workflows, simplify management, and deliver insights that drive real business results. 

This shift means EVOLVE is no longer just about modeling in Revit. It’s about giving your entire organization, from BIM detailers to leadership teams, the tools they need to stay efficient, consistent, and informed. 

Why Leaders Care: Beyond Revit Workflows 

1. Single Sign-On (SSO) for Seamless Access 
No more remembering extra passwords or juggling multiple logins. With Single Sign-On, your team can use company credentials to log into EVOLVE. It’s one less IT hurdle, one more step toward productivity. 

2. Advanced Roles for Standards You Can Trust 
The first step toward bringing EVOLVE’s settings into the cloud, this feature helps managers ensure consistency across teams. Roles can be managed in one place, so every project follows the same standards. As more EVOLVE capabilities move cloud-first, managing workflows across Revit becomes faster, simpler, and smarter. 

3. Analytics for Actionable Insights 
Management doesn’t just need to know what is happening—they need to know why. EVOLVE Analytics provides clear data into usage patterns, adoption, and IT management (like who’s on which version). The next phase will dive even deeper: insights into which Revit tools your teams use most, and diagnostics to identify model performance bottlenecks. The end goal? Equipping leaders with data to prove ROI and make informed decisions. 

Why BIM/VDC Engineers Care: Faster Modeling, Smarter Tools 

The latest EVOLVE 9.0 release packs in enhancements designed to save hours of manual work and keep your projects moving: 

Equipment Manager (Electrical): Organize and manage equipment data with less hassle. 

Auto Strut Straps (Electrical & Mechanical): Eliminate tedious manual strap placement. 

Stretch Hanger Bearer (Electrical & Mechanical): Adjust placed hangers instantly when designs change. 

Single Rod Hanger Placement (Electrical & Mechanical): Place hangers more efficiently and accurately. 

Auto Dimensions on Iso Views (Mechanical): Speed up prefab drawing production with automated dimensions. 

These updates are about more than convenience—they’re about giving detailers and coordinators time back to focus on higher-value work. 

This Is Just the Beginning... 

EVOLVE is evolving. What started as a point solution inside Revit is becoming vdcOS: a full ecosystem where modeling speed, cloud-based management, and data-driven insights come together. 

Whether you’re in the trenches detailing conduit runs or leading a department looking for ROI, EVOLVE is building the tools to support every level of your workflow. 

This is more than a release. It’s a transformation. And it’s only the beginning. Stay tuned, there’s more where that came from.
