Automated Flat Sheet Creation with the MAT App for Revit
Traditional approach to flat sheet creation – a time-consuming process
Until now, creating flat sheets has been a very time-consuming task, often outsourced to third-party companies, leading to additional costs and extended project timelines. Collaboration with external entities often caused communication and coordination issues, which negatively affected overall project efficiency. Changes and revisions introduced at the last moment often led to errors and inconsistencies. The need to manually generate new views and recalculate usable areas consumed both time and money.

How did this process look until now?
Graphic interpretation of the change and revision process in the project and the constant need to update flat sheets disconnected from BIM technology.
Now, thanks to a process based on a centralized 3D model in line with BIM technology, these problems are a thing of the past.
Previously, creating apartment documentation required cooperation with external firms, which led to many challenges such as longer delivery times or an increased risk of errors. A lack of proper tools hindered efficient documentation management, and implementing changes meant lengthy manual editing in applications outside the BIM process.
Modern solutions – the MAT add-on for Revit
Today, creating flat sheets is usually the responsibility of architectural offices, which, thanks to the easy-to-use MAT add-on, can quickly and efficiently generate always up-to-date documentation.

How does the MAT Flat Sheets add-on work?
The Revit add-on for automatic flat sheet creation enables quick generation of detailed sheets based on data from a comprehensive 3D model. The add-on automatically collects information about area, room layout, and finishing materials, presenting it as ready, aesthetic, and readable sheets.
Data synchronization and flexibility
The ability to customize sheet templates to individual project needs increases workflow flexibility. Users can easily update sheet data after changes are made in the model. The add-on supports teamwork by enabling real-time data synchronization.

Impact of the MAT add-on on design firm competitiveness
The add-on speeds up the creation of documentation for developer clients by 90–99%, allowing for significant cost reduction. As a result, using it increases the competitiveness of design firms in the market. Whether it’s 10, 20, or 200 apartments – the application will generate sheets in seconds. Even after updates to the design, they remain accurate in terms of layout, materials, and surface areas.
