JGT Navisworks Tools
Three plugins for Navisworks Manage 2026 that put the things coordinators do all day one click away: Revit Element IDs, section planes, and saved views with markup.
Launch prices through December 31, 2026 (regular $9.99 each, $19.99 for all three). One-time purchase, no subscription. The download is the same for everyone (version 1.3.0, 118 KB): every tool has a free 30-day trial, and a key from Gumroad unlocks it for good.
