EVOLVE Launches Release 9.0, Marking Transformation from Revit Plugin to Full Ecosystem with vdcOS 

Major upgrade empowers MEP contractors with streamlined access, consistent standards, actionable analytics, and powerful modeling enhancements. 

[Atlanta, GA] — August 27, 2025 — EVOLVE today announced the release of EVOLVE 9.0, a milestone update that represents the company’s transformation from a point solution for Autodesk Revit into a comprehensive ecosystem, vdcOS. This release introduces powerful new features designed to streamline workflows, strengthen organizational standards, and provide actionable insights for MEP contractors. 

From Plugin to Ecosystem: Empowering Leaders with Smarter Tools EVOLVE 9.0 introduces critical capabilities that elevate management and leadership efficiency, including: 

• Single Sign-On (SSO) — Users can now log in with company credentials for secure, streamlined access, eliminating the need to remember extra logins. 
  
  

• Advanced Roles — The first step toward unified, cloud-based management of EVOLVE settings, enabling leaders to establish consistent standards across teams. 
  
  

• Analytics for Actionable Insights — Managers gain visibility into EVOLVE and Revit usage, allowing data-driven decision making, IT clarity on version adoption, and measurable ROI. Future enhancements will extend into Revit usage patterns, model performance tracking, and more. 

  
  

Model Faster and Smarter: Enhancements for BIM & VDC Teams 

For BIM managers, detailers, and VDC teams, EVOLVE 9.0 delivers practical improvements that save time and reduce friction in day-to-day modeling: 

• Equipment Manager (Electrical) — Organize and manage equipment data with greater efficiency. 
  
  

• Auto Strut Straps (Electrical & Mechanical) — Automatically place strut straps, eliminating tedious manual work. 
  
  

• Stretch Hanger Bearer (Electrical & Mechanical) — Quickly adjust hangers already placed in the model to accommodate design changes. 
  
  

• Single Rod Hanger Placement (Mechanical) — Faster, more accurate placement of hangers. 
  
  

• Auto Dimensions on Iso Views (Mechanical) — Speed up prefabrication drawing production. “These enhancements are not just incremental, they’re transformational,” said Jason Earl, EVOLVE’s Senior Product Manager.  
  
  

With 9.0, we’re not only making life in Revit faster and easier, we’re giving leadership the cloud-powered tools to unify teams, enforce standards, and prove ROI. This is the next step toward the future of vdcOS.
