RTV Xporter

RTV Xporter is a Revit add-in that automates batch printing and file export to PDF, DWG, DWF, DWFx, DXF, and IFC, with parametric file naming and simultaneous output to two physical printers in a single pass.

Producing coordinated document packages from large Revit projects typically means clicking through sheets one at a time. RTV Xporter replaces that repetition with a batch workflow that creates digital files and prints hard copies at the same time, all driven by a parametric file-naming engine that pulls values from Revit shared and project parameters (RTV Tools, 2026).

The standard edition covers PDF, DWG, DWF, DWFx, DXF, and IFC export alongside dual-printer output. Xporter PRO extends format support to DGN, NWC (Navisworks), FBX, and 2D Revit Family files, and adds fully autonomous scheduling: daily, weekly, monthly, or hourly tasks that start Revit, open the project, run exports, and close without user input (RTV Tools, 2026).

PRO-only features also include FTP and Citrix ShareFile upload, Aconex bulk-upload CSV generation, bulk sheet revision updating, and a remote batch print server. RTV Tools reports that 80% of customers who purchased one of its automation products saw a full return on investment within the first week, based on its internal research (RTV Tools, 2026).

Both editions support Revit 2026, 2025, 2024.1, and 2023 on Windows 11 or 10 (64-bit). Pricing starts at $19 USD per year for a single Xporter license and $75 USD per year for a single Xporter PRO license, with site and enterprise tiers available.
