Australian developer AECOtech released AECOtools 1.23.0 on November 8, 2026. The add-in for Revit and Navisworks 2024 to 2027 gets its biggest batch of new buttons in a while, with a new site design menu, Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) helpers and several MEP tools.
What’s new
- New Site menu (Beta): SiteScope, ReGrid, Groundwork and Site Analysis, a set of tools for working with terrain and site layout from inside Revit.
- ACC tools (Beta): Restore Deleted, to bring back items removed from ACC projects, and Users, to manage project members without leaving Revit.
- Tools that become free: Zoom Selection and Visibility Detective are now part of the free tier. View Filter Builder and Workset Manager also appear in this release.
- MEP: Panel (Beta), Ceiling Services Access Panels, Penos (Beta) for penetrations and ThermaSet (Beta).
- Two new free tools: ParaGuard and Outside Crop.
Why it matters
Visibility Detective answers a question every Revit user asks weekly: why is this element not showing in this view? Having it free lowers the bar for small teams. The ACC Restore Deleted tool is the other one to watch, since recovering deleted cloud content usually means a trip to the ACC web interface.
Most of the new tools are labelled Beta, so test them on a copy of a project first. AECOtech also notes that the five new buttons only appear after Revit is restarted a second time following installation. A 30-day trial is available; the release notes do not state the price of the paid tier.
