SivaTools 4.5.1

No pyRevit. No Python. Nothing else to install. SivaTools is a native Revit add-in.

1. Requirements

• Autodesk Revit 2024, 2025 or 2026 (64-bit)
• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
• Your license key (in your purchase e-mail)

2. Installation

1. Close Revit. Setup cannot run while Revit holds the files.
2. Run the installer and approve the Windows administrator prompt.
3. Setup detects the Revit versions installed on your machine and installs only to those. Next → Install → Finish.
4. Start Revit. A Siva tab appears on the ribbon.

You never copy a file by hand.

3. Activating your license

1. Siva tab → License button.
2. Paste the key from your purchase e-mail.
3. Press Activate. When it reports the license is active, you are ready.

• One license may be used on up to 2 devices.
• After activation it runs 7 days without internet — site, plane or an offline machine is fine.
• Changing computers: on the old machine choose License → Remove this device, then activate on the new one.
• Your model, project name and personal data are never sent to any server. See PRIVACY.md.

The 15-day trial (Autodesk App Store edition only)

If you installed SivaTools from the Autodesk App Store, the License window offers a 15-day trial. No card and no sign-up: press the button, and every command is available for 15 days. The trial can be started once per computer and it does not restart if you reinstall.

If you downloaded SivaTools from sivatools.app instead, there is no button there and this is not a fault: on that channel the trial is part of the subscription and starts at checkout. Whichever way you started, the product is the same — only the way the trial begins differs.

4. What the buttons do

5. Recommended first run

1. Rooms must be placed. Plaster is derived from room boundaries.
2. The room's Limit Offset must reach the underside of the beams — otherwise a beam is not "in the room" and is not plastered.
3. Generate Plaster → choose the scope (selected rooms / active level / whole project).
4. Check the numbers with Plaster Take-off.
5. Place the table with Take-off Schedule.
6. Add dimensions with Dimension.

You may run Generate Plaster again on the same rooms: the old plaster is removed and rebuilt, never stacked.

6. What is NOT plastered

Please read this once — it matters for the accuracy of your quantities. The following are skipped automatically, and the count is written in the result report so nothing disappears silently:

Curtain wall caveat: the detection relies on the facade being modelled as a curtain wall type in Revit. If you modelled glass as a "basic wall with a glass material", the add-in treats it as a normal wall and will plaster it. Use manual exclusion in that case.

Steel column caveat: the decision uses Revit's own Structural Material Type. If your steel column is concrete-encased and its surface will be plastered, you will see a "steel column — not plastered" line in the report and must handle that column separately.

Lift shafts, ducts, chimneys — the easiest method

Plaster is generated from rooms. If a volume has no Room, it is never touched. So the cleanest exclusion is: do not place a Room in the lift shaft or service duct. Separate that volume with a Room Separator and leave it room-less. The corridor-side wall face is still plastered normally — only the inside of the shaft is left out.

A lift shaft is not always unplastered. Under the Turkish Ministry (CSB) lift installation specification, the inner face of the shaft receives trowelled plaster if it is not a concrete shear wall; if it is concrete, it is painted. This is a project decision — the add-in does not make it for you. Leave the Room in place if the shaft is to be plastered; remove it if not.

Excluding individual rooms

Generate Plaster → "Selected rooms". Select the rooms you want first, then press the button. Anything not selected is never processed.

7. Frequently asked

Do the plaster walls change my room areas?

No. The generated plaster has Room Bounding switched off.

Why does the take-off give "Net + Reveal"?

Because the Turkish Ministry (CSB) unit-price schedule requires it for plaster items: all plastered faces including opening reveals are counted, and all openings and other finish surfaces are deducted. Your item quantity is the PLASTER AREA column. That is the default rule, not the only one — see the next question.

My contract is not measured under the Turkish schedule.

Settings → Quantities → Measurement rule. Four options: Türkiye (every opening deducted — the default, and the behaviour of every release before 4.4.0), RICS NRM2 (openings up to 1.00 m² inside the measured area are not deducted; an opening at the boundary is deducted whatever its size), DIN 18350 (openings up to 2.50 m² are not deducted, and reveals are still measured), and Custom, where you enter the threshold, a partial-deduction band and the boundary rule yourself.

The rule changes no geometry. The take-off gains two columns — Voids added back and BILLABLE AREA — and a block that states the rule, the clause it comes from, how many openings were kept and the difference from the physical area. With Türkiye selected the output is exactly what it was before.

SivaTools is not certified against any standard and does not ship the text of one. The rule is applied as numbers and the source is cited by clause. Two DIN sub-rules are not applied — the 30 cm column and beam interruptions, and the smallest-enclosing-rectangle provision — and the report says so on every run.

Numbers show a dot, I want a comma.

This is a project setting: Manage → Project Units → Decimal symbol = Comma. SivaTools does not change it for you, because it would affect every dimension in your project.

I see type names instead of item numbers.

The unit-price numbers of your contract are not invented by the add-in. Write your own into %APPDATA%\SivaTools\ayarlar.json:

{ "PozNolari": { "SIVA_IC_2cm": "15.280.1004" } }

Are areas under tiling or marble deducted?

No. The schedule requires it, but the add-in cannot know your room finish schedule — you must make that deduction yourself.

I cannot see plaster lines in section.

Set the view's Detail Level to Medium or Fine. Revit does not draw join clean-up at Coarse.

8. If something goes wrong

1. If the Siva tab is missing, close and reopen Revit.
2. If a command reports an error, send the message and this file:

   %LOCALAPPDATA%\SivaTools\log\sivatools-<date>.log

   It is plain text — you can open and read it. Your license key is not in it and it carries no content from your model.
3. State your Revit version too (Revit → Help → About).

9. Uninstalling

Settings → Apps → SivaTools → Uninstall.

You are asked whether license information and logs should also be removed. If you answer No, your license stays in place when you reinstall.

10. Known limits (not defects)

• On curved (arc) walls the offset is approximate and corner trimming is not applied.
• Sloped and curved beams are not supported; the add-in warns rather than staying silent.
• Door/window openings are taken from the rough element box and may open slightly larger than the frame. Net area is therefore a little conservative.
• In rooms with a suspended ceiling, ceiling plaster is still generated — the add-in does not know your finish schedule. Delete that room's ceiling strip if not required.
• Walls and columns in linked models are not plastered (they must be in the host model).
• Plaster height is copied from the source wall's levels. If the source wall is Attached to a beam, that information cannot be copied — select the plaster too and use Attach Top/Base.

pyRevit gerekmez. Python gerekmez. Baska hicbir sey kurmaniz gerekmez. SivaTools yerel (native) bir Revit eklentisidir.

1. Ne gerekiyor?

• Autodesk Revit 2024, 2025 ya da 2026 (64 bit)
• Windows 10 / 11 (64 bit)
• Lisans anahtariniz (satin alma e-postanizda)

2. Kurulum

1. Revit'i kapatin. Acikken dosyalar kilitli oldugu icin kurulum yapilamaz.
2. Kurulum dosyasini calistirin, Windows yonetici iznini onaylayin.
3. Kurulum, bilgisayarinizdaki Revit surumlerini kendisi bulur ve yalniz onlara kurar. Ileri → Kur → Bitir.
4. Revit'i acin. Seritte Siva sekmesi gorunur.

Hicbir dosyayi elle kopyalamazsiniz.

3. Lisansi etkinlestirme

1. Siva sekmesi → Lisans dugmesi.
2. Satin alma e-postanizdaki anahtari yapistirin.
3. Etkinlestir. "Lisans etkin." yazisini gorunce hazirsiniz.

• Bir lisans en fazla 2 cihazda kullanilabilir.
• Etkinlestirdikten sonra 7 gun internet olmadan calisir. Santiyede, ucakta, baglantisiz makinede sorun cikmaz.
• Bilgisayar degistirecekseniz: eski makinede Lisans → Bu cihazi cikar, yeni makinede ayni anahtarla etkinlestirin.
• Modeliniz, proje adiniz ve kisisel bilgileriniz hicbir sunucuya gonderilmez. Ayrinti: PRIVACY.md.

15 gunluk deneme (yalniz Autodesk App Store surumu)

SivaTools'u Autodesk App Store'dan kurduysaniz, Lisans penceresinde 15 gunluk deneme dugmesi vardir. Kart da istemez, kayit da: dugmeye basin, 15 gun boyunca butun komutlar acilir. Deneme her bilgisayarda bir kez baslatilabilir ve yeniden kurulumda bastan baslamaz.

SivaTools'u sivatools.app adresinden indirdiyseniz o dugme yoktur; bu bir kusur degildir. O kanalda deneme aboneligin parcasidir ve satin alma ekraninda baslar. Hangi yoldan basladiginiz urunu degistirmez; yalnizca denemenin nasil basladigi degisir.

4. Dugmeler ne yapiyor?

5. Ilk kullanim — onerilen sira

1. Modelde mahaller (Room) yerlestirilmis olmali. Siva uretimi oda sinirlarindan turetilir.
2. Odalarin ust limiti (Limit Offset) kiris altina ulasmali — yoksa kiris "odada" sayilmaz ve sivanmaz.
3. Siva Uret → kapsami secin (secili odalar / aktif kat / tum proje).
4. Siva Metraj ile rakamlari kontrol edin.
5. Metraj Tablosu ile paftaya tabloyu koyun.
6. Olcu At ile plana olculeri atin.

Ayni odalar icin Siva Uret'i tekrar calistirabilirsiniz: eski sivalar silinip yenilenir, ust uste binmez.

6. Neler SIVANMAZ

Bu bolum metrajinizin dogrulugu icin onemlidir — lutfen bir kez okuyun. Asagidakiler otomatik atlanir ve sayisi sonuc raporunda yazar (sessizce dusurulmez):

Cam cephe uyarisi: bu tespit, cephenin Revit'te curtain wall tipi olarak modellenmis olmasina dayanir. Cami "basic wall + cam malzemesi" diye modellediyseniz eklenti onu normal duvar sanir ve sivar. O durumda elle eleme yontemini kullanin.

Celik kolon uyarisi: karar Revit'in kendi Structural Material Type bilgisine dayanir. Celik kolonunuz betonla mantolanmissa ve yuzeyi sivanacaksa, raporda "celik kolon — sivanmadi" satirini goreceksiniz; o kolonu ayrica ele almaniz gerekir.

Asansor kuyusu, saft, baca — en kolay yontem

Eklenti sivayi mahaller (Room) uzerinden uretir. Bir hacimde Room yoksa oraya hic dokunmaz. Bu yuzden en temiz cozum: asansor kuyusuna / tesisat saftina Room KOYMAYIN. O hacmi Room Separator cizgisiyle ayirip mahalsiz birakin. Koridor tarafindaki duvar yuzu normal sekilde sivanmaya devam eder — yalniz kuyunun ici disarida kalir.

Asansor kuyusu her zaman sivasiz degildir. CSB Asansor Tesisati Teknik Sartnamesi'ne gore kuyunun ic yuzu beton perde degilse toz tutmayacak sekilde perdahli siva yapilir; perde betonsa boyanir. Yani bu bir proje kararidir; eklenti sizin yerinize karar vermez. Kuyu sivanacaksa Room'u yerinde birakin, sivanmayacaksa kaldirin.

Tek tek eleme

Siva Uret → "Secili odalar". Once istediginiz mahalleri secin, sonra dugmeye basin. Secmedikleriniz hic islenmez.

7. Sik sorulanlar

Siva duvarlari oda alanlarimi degistirir mi?

Hayir. Uretilen sivalarin Room Bounding ozelligi kapalidir.

Metraj neden "Net + Sove" veriyor?

Cevre, Sehircilik ve Iklim Degisikligi Bakanligi birim fiyat tarifesi siva pozlari icin boyle diyor: sivanan butun yuzler (bosluk yanlari dahil) hesaplanir, butun bosluklar ve diger cins kaplama yuzeyleri dusulur. Poz miktariniz SIVA ALANI sutunudur. Bu varsayilan kuraldir, tek kural degil — bir sonraki soruya bakin.

Sozlesmem Bakanlik tarifesine gore olculmuyor.

Ayarlar → Metraj → Olcum kurali. Dort secenek: Turkiye (her bosluk dusulur — varsayilan, ve 4.4.0 oncesi butun surumlerin davranisi), RICS NRM2 (olculen alanin icinde kalan 1,00 m²'ye kadar bosluk dusulmez; kenardaki bosluk her boyutta dusulur), DIN 18350 (2,50 m²'ye kadar bosluk dusulmez, sove yine olculur) ve Serbest — esigi, kismi dusum bandini ve kenar kuralini siz yazarsiniz.

Kural hicbir geometriyi degistirmez. Metraja iki sutun eklenir — Eklenen bosluk ve FATURALANABILIR ALAN — ve bir blok kuralin adini, geldigi maddeyi, kac boslugun dusulmedigini ve fiziksel alandan farki yazar. Turkiye secili iken cikti eskisinin aynisidir.

SivaTools hicbir standarda gore sertifikali degildir ve hicbir standardin metnini icermez. Kural sayi olarak uygulanir, kaynaga madde numarasiyla atif yapilir. Iki DIN alt kurali uygulanmaz — 30 cm'lik kolon/kiris kesintileri ve en kucuk cevreleyen dikdortgen hukmu — ve rapor bunu her kosuda yazar.

Tablodaki sayilar noktali cikiyor, virgul istiyorum.

Bu bir proje ayaridir: Manage → Project Units → Decimal symbol = Comma. SivaTools bunu kendiliginden degistirmez, cunku projenizdeki butun olculeri etkiler.

Poz numaralari gorunmuyor, tip adlari yaziyor.

Sozlesmenizin birim fiyat numaralari eklentide uydurulmadi. Kendi numaralarinizi %APPDATA%\SivaTools\ayarlar.json icine yazin:

{ "PozNolari": { "SIVA_IC_2cm": "15.280.1004" } }

Fayans/mermer altindaki alanlar dusuluyor mu?

Hayir. Tarife bunu istiyor ama eklenti mahal listenizi bilemez — bu dusumu elle yapmaniz gerekir.

Kesitte siva cizgilerini goremiyorum.

Gorunumun Detail Level degerini Medium ya da Fine yapin. Revit, Coarse'ta join temizligini cizmez.

8. Bir sorun cikarsa

1. Siva sekmesi hic gorunmuyorsa Revit'i kapatip yeniden acin.
2. Bir komut hata verirse, hata penceresindeki mesaji ve su dosyayi gonderin:

   %LOCALAPPDATA%\SivaTools\log\sivatools-<tarih>.log

   Bu dosya duz metindir, acip okuyabilirsiniz. Lisans anahtariniz burada yazmaz ve modelinizden icerik tasimaz.
3. Revit surumunuzu de belirtin (Revit → Help → About).

9. Kaldirma

Ayarlar → Uygulamalar → SivaTools → Kaldir.

Kaldirma sirasinda "lisans bilgisi ve gunlukler de silinsin mi?" diye sorulur. Hayir derseniz, yeniden kurdugunuzda lisansiniz yerinde durur.

10. Bilinen sinirlar (kusur degil)

• Egrisel (yay) duvarlarda oteleme yaklasiktir ve kose trimlemesi uygulanmaz.
• Egimli ve yay kirisler desteklenmez; eklenti sessiz kalmaz, uyari verir.
• Kapi/pencere bosluklari kaba eleman kutusundan alinir; kasa payi kadar buyuk acilabilir. Net alan bu yuzden bir tik konservatiftir.
• Asma tavanli mahallerde tavan sivasi uretilir; eklenti mahal listenizi bilmedigi icin ayirt edemez — gerekmiyorsa o odanin tavan seridini silin.
• Linkli modellerdeki duvar ve kolonlara siva atilmaz (ana modelde olmali).
• Siva yuksekligi kaynak duvarin kotlarindan kopyalanir; kaynak duvar kirise Attach edilmisse bu bilgi kopyalanamaz — o durumda sivayi da secip Attach Top/Base ile kirise baglayin.

No requiere pyRevit. No requiere Python. No hay que instalar nada mas. SivaTools es un complemento nativo de Revit.

1. Requisitos

• Autodesk Revit 2024, 2025 o 2026 (64 bits)
• Windows 10 u 11 (64 bits)
• Su clave de licencia (en el correo de compra)

2. Instalacion

1. Cierre Revit. No se puede instalar mientras Revit bloquea los archivos.
2. Ejecute el instalador y acepte el aviso de administrador de Windows.
3. La instalacion detecta las versiones de Revit instaladas y solo instala en ellas. Siguiente → Instalar → Finalizar.
4. Abra Revit. Aparece la pestana Siva en la cinta.

3. Activar la licencia

1. Pestana Siva → boton Licencia.
2. Pegue la clave del correo de compra.
3. Pulse Activar.

• Una licencia se puede usar en 2 dispositivos como maximo.
• Tras la activacion funciona 7 dias sin internet.
• Al cambiar de equipo: en el antiguo elija Licencia → Quitar este dispositivo y active en el nuevo.
• Su modelo, el nombre del proyecto y sus datos personales nunca se envian a ningun servidor. Vease PRIVACY.md.

La prueba de 15 dias (solo edicion de Autodesk App Store)

Si instalo SivaTools desde el Autodesk App Store, la ventana de licencia ofrece una prueba de 15 dias. Sin tarjeta y sin registro: pulse el boton y todos los comandos quedan disponibles durante 15 dias. La prueba puede iniciarse una vez por equipo y no se reinicia al volver a instalar.

Si descargo SivaTools desde sivatools.app, ese boton no aparece y no es un fallo: en ese canal la prueba forma parte de la suscripcion y empieza en el proceso de compra. El producto es el mismo; solo cambia la forma en que comienza la prueba.

4. Que hacen los botones

5. Primera ejecucion recomendada

1. Las estancias (Room) deben estar colocadas. El revoco se deriva de sus limites.
2. El desfase superior (Limit Offset) debe llegar al fondo de las vigas; si no, la viga no cuenta como "en la estancia" y no se revoca.
3. Generar revoco → elija el alcance (estancias seleccionadas / nivel activo / todo el proyecto).
4. Compruebe las cifras con Mediciones.
5. Coloque la tabla con Tabla de mediciones.
6. Acote con Acotar.

Puede volver a ejecutar Generar revoco en las mismas estancias: el revoco anterior se elimina y se rehace, nunca se superpone.

6. Que NO se revoca

Lea esta seccion una vez: afecta a la exactitud de sus mediciones. Lo siguiente se omite automaticamente y el numero aparece en el informe de resultados:

Muro cortina: la deteccion se basa en que la fachada este modelada como tipo muro cortina en Revit. Si modelo el vidrio como "muro basico con material de vidrio", el complemento lo trata como muro normal y lo revocara.

Pilar de acero: la decision usa el Structural Material Type de Revit. Si su pilar de acero esta encamisado en hormigon y va a revocarse, vera una linea "pilar de acero — no revocado" en el informe y debera tratarlo aparte.

Huecos de ascensor y patinillos

El revoco se genera a partir de las estancias. Si un volumen no tiene Room, no se toca. Por eso lo mas limpio es no colocar Room en el hueco del ascensor o el patinillo: separelo con un Room Separator y dejelo sin estancia. La cara del muro hacia el pasillo se sigue revocando.

Excluir estancias concretas

Generar revoco → "Estancias seleccionadas". Seleccione primero las estancias y luego pulse el boton.

7. Preguntas frecuentes

El revoco cambia las areas de mis estancias?

No. El revoco generado tiene Room Bounding desactivado.

Mi contrato no se mide con el cuadro turco.

Ajustes → Mediciones → Criterio de medicion. Cuatro opciones: Turquia (se deduce todo hueco — el valor por defecto y el comportamiento de todas las versiones anteriores a la 4.4.0), RICS NRM2 (no se deducen los huecos de hasta 1,00 m² situados dentro de la superficie medida; un hueco en el borde se deduce sea cual sea su tamano), DIN 18350 (no se deducen los huecos de hasta 2,50 m² y las mochetas se siguen midiendo) y Personalizado, donde usted define el umbral, la banda de deduccion parcial y la regla de borde.

El criterio no cambia ninguna geometria. La medicion gana dos columnas — Huecos reintegrados y SUPERFICIE FACTURABLE — y un bloque que indica el criterio, la clausula de la que procede, cuantos huecos se mantuvieron y la diferencia respecto a la superficie fisica. Con Turquia seleccionado el resultado es exactamente el de antes.

SivaTools no esta certificado segun ninguna norma ni distribuye el texto de ninguna. El criterio se aplica como numeros y la fuente se cita por clausula. Dos subcriterios de DIN no se aplican — las interrupciones de pilares y vigas de 30 cm y la disposicion del rectangulo envolvente minimo — y el informe lo indica en cada ejecucion.

Los numeros salen con punto y quiero coma.

Es un ajuste del proyecto: Manage → Project Units → Decimal symbol = Comma. SivaTools no lo cambia por usted porque afectaria a todas las cotas del proyecto.

Veo nombres de tipo en vez de numeros de partida.

Los numeros de precio unitario de su contrato no se inventan. Escriba los suyos en %APPDATA%\SivaTools\ayarlar.json:

{ "PozNolari": { "SIVA_IC_2cm": "15.280.1004" } }

No veo las lineas de revoco en seccion.

Ponga el Detail Level de la vista en Medium o Fine.

8. Si algo falla

1. Si no aparece la pestana Siva, cierre y vuelva a abrir Revit.
2. Si un comando da error, envie el mensaje y este archivo:

   %LOCALAPPDATA%\SivaTools\log\sivatools-<fecha>.log

   Es texto plano. Su clave de licencia no aparece en el y no contiene datos de su modelo.
3. Indique tambien su version de Revit (Revit → Help → About).

9. Desinstalacion

Configuracion → Aplicaciones → SivaTools → Desinstalar.

Se le pregunta si desea eliminar tambien la informacion de licencia y los registros. Si responde No, su licencia se conserva al reinstalar.

10. Limites conocidos (no son defectos)

• En muros curvos el desfase es aproximado y no se recortan las esquinas.
• Vigas inclinadas y curvas no son compatibles; el complemento avisa.
• Los huecos de puertas y ventanas se toman de la caja del elemento y pueden abrirse algo mayores que el cerco.
• En estancias con falso techo se genera revoco de techo; elimine esa franja si no procede.
• No se revocan muros ni pilares de modelos vinculados.
• La altura del revoco se copia de los niveles del muro origen; si el muro esta Attached a una viga, use Attach Top/Base tambien en el revoco.
