What is Jotools?

Jotools is a Revit add-in developed by Jot (a developer well-known in the Revit community for creating practical, no-nonsense tools). Unlike massive plugin suites that try to reinvent how you model, Jotools focuses on the basics: Selection, Visibility, and Speed.

It provides a set of shortcut commands accessible via a simple toolbar, allowing you to bypass the "Ribbon Maze" and get straight to modeling.
