We developed a free Revit add-in for Offsite Wood that automates wood wall framing and quantity schedules. Already over 1,000 downloads.

The standalone features are Ghost Markups for annotations that don't print, and our Revision Colorizer.
The plugin is currently available to BIM Pure members. A trial version is planned for next year. Huge thanks to our developers Julio and Charles.
