Printing a full Revit sheet set one view at a time is the sort of job that eats an afternoon. Revit's own export tools have improved over the years, but many teams still want more control over file names, combined PDFs and repeatable settings. That is the gap DiRoots ProSheets aims to fill. In this review we look at what the add-in does, how to get started, where it shines and where it falls short.
What Is DiRoots ProSheets?
ProSheets is a Revit add-in from DiRoots, the same developer behind tools like SheetLink. Its single job is batch exporting sheets and views. According to the developer, it can output PDF, DWG, DGN, DWF, NWC, IFC and image formats such as JPEG, PNG and TIFF from one dialog. You pick what to export, choose the formats, set naming rules and let it run.
The documentation describes three main tabs: Selection, Formats and Create, plus a Profiles system for saving your setup. That structure keeps the workflow predictable: choose sheets, choose outputs, then generate.
Key Features
Here are the features the developer highlights that matter most in day-to-day production:
- Automatic paper size and orientation. ProSheets reads the sheet width and height from the title block, so mixed sheet sizes do not need manual print setups.
- Parametric file naming. Build file names from sheet number, sheet name, revision and custom parameters, with your own separators. Project Information parameters can be used too.
- Combined PDFs. Merge sheets into one or several PDFs, grouped by sheet set, sheet collection or a parameter, even when page sizes differ.
- Profiles. Save naming rules, formats and export options, and load them from a shared network folder so the whole office exports the same way.
- Scheduled exports. Set a date, time and repeat frequency for automated publishing.
- Reports. Export logs to Excel or CSV, and retry publishes that fail.
The developer's notes also mention that no separate PDF printer driver is needed, which removes a classic source of printing headaches on shared machines.
How to Install and Use ProSheets
Getting your first batch out takes only a few minutes:
- Download ProSheets from the DiRoots website (a short form asks for your details) or from the Autodesk App Store, then run the installer with Revit closed.
- Open your project. ProSheets appears on its own ribbon tab, or inside the DiRootsOne tab if you use that layout.
- On the Selection tab, filter and tick the sheets or views you want. Sorting and filtering help with large sets.
- On the Formats tab, enable the outputs you need, such as PDF and DWG, and adjust each format's options.
- On the Create tab, define your naming rule and output folder, decide whether to combine PDFs, then start the export.
- Save everything as a profile so next week's issue is a two-click job.

Pros and Cons
After weighing the feature list against everyday needs, here is how it stacks up.
On the plus side, the free tier is genuinely usable, the format list covers almost every deliverable a design team sends out, and profiles make the results consistent. The downsides are mostly about scale: the developer states that free users are limited to 150 prints per month across all formats, and some options, such as printing through Revit's native printer in certain versions, sit behind Premium. The sheer number of options can also feel busy on day one.
Price, Licence and Who It's For
At the time of writing, DiRoots lists ProSheets Premium at 60 EUR per user per year (72 USD for US clients via its US partner), with licences arranged through a quote form. Prices can change, so check the official page before buying.
ProSheets suits architects, engineers and BIM coordinators who issue drawing sets regularly, especially teams that send the same package in PDF, DWG and IFC. Small offices with occasional issues may live happily inside the free limit. Large firms will appreciate shared profiles and scheduling, which reduce mistakes from manual setup.
Verdict
DiRoots ProSheets turns one of Revit's most repetitive jobs into a repeatable, rule-based process. The combination of automatic paper sizing, parametric file names and shareable profiles saves real time on every issue, and the free tier lets you test it on live projects before committing. The monthly print cap and Premium-only extras are the main catches. Overall, we rate it 4.5 out of 5, and it earns a spot next to pyRevit in any Revit toolbox.
