What’s New ?
Kobi Toolkit for Civil 3D
Supported platforms: Civil 3D 2021 – 2027
New tools – Create & Update Profile from Pipes
Create Profile from Pipes creates a profile based on a selected pipe network, allowing you to generate a trench corridor that follows the pipe alignment and elevations. Profiles can be created from the Outside Top, Crown, Centerline, Invert, and/or Outside Bottom of selected pipes.
Update profile from pipes updates previously created pipe-based profiles to reflect changes in the pipe network. You can update the selected profiles or refresh all profiles at once.
Ideal for utility trench modeling and corridor-based pipe construction workflows.
Create Utility Crossings Analysis Improvements
The Create Utility Crossings Analysis tool detects utility network crossings and generates analysis points with detailed crossing information.
In addition to the existing data fields such as Bottom Elevation, Bottom Network, Elevation Difference, Top Elevation, and Top Network, the tool now also includes Bottom Material, Bottom Size, Top Material, and Top Size for more complete utility clash analysis and reporting.
Structure Editor Improvements
The Structure Editor has been updated to improve pipe network editing workflow. You can now enter the next invert value directly, with automatic invert calculation while typing. Offset and angle values are saved, and double-clicking a direction reverses the pipe. Sump values now update automatically when the invert changes, while decimal formatting follows Civil 3D general settings.
In the video, you can also see how easily you can convert lines to pipes and create structures from points.
Pipe Editor Improvements
Use the intuitive user interface to define how pipes should behave and apply changes to the whole pipe set. Pipes can also be edited directly in plan view for faster adjustments.
Crete Multiple Profiles Improvement
Now allows users to set elevation range for profile view.
Swap Multiple Parts Improvement
Keeps part description.
Kobi Toolkit for AutoCAD and BricsCAD
Version 2027.1
Supported platforms: AutoCAD 2021 – 2027, BricsCAD V22 – V26
Create Viewport Improvements
The Create Viewport tool now supports creating multiple copies of a selected viewport. Viewport frames can be rotated and include a move grip for easier placement and adjustment.
You can also specify the North arrow used for each viewport, including its insertion point and scale. The viewport boundary acts as a dynamic block, so any movement or rotation is automatically reflected in the layout.
Sheet Rename Improvement
Selects entire column if you click on top row.

Kobi Signs & Stripes
Version 2027.1
Supported platforms:
- Autodesk Civil 3D®, versions 2021-2027
- Autodesk AutoCAD®, versions 2021-2027
- BricsCAD® Pro/BIM/Mechanical, versions V20-V26
Simplified Sign Placement (Station & Offset)
You can now place signs more efficiently by defining the station and offset directly from the alignment or polyline. Either lock the station and set the offset, or lock the offset first and then define the station.
Defining Station on Polyline
A starting station can now be assigned to a polyline when placing a traffic sign, providing greater flexibility for station-based workflows.
Markings Report
Start and end station for line markings are now included in the report.
Watch this 15-minute webinar covering the most frequently asked questions about Kobi Signs & Stripes. The examples use the Slovenian library, but the same workflows apply to all libraries, with the interface adapting to the installed language. A quick, practical overview of key tool improvments and typical workflows.
Kobi Toolkit for Revit
Version 2027.1
Supported platforms: Revit 2021 – 2027
New tool – Renumber Viewports by Location
The Renumber Viewports by Location tool automatically renumbers viewports based on their position on the sheet, ensuring a consistent and logical numbering system. Users can control the process by defining the number of horizontal and vertical regions, allowing flexible and predictable layout organization.
See the user manual for details or a practical example in our blog.
Import Spreadsheet Improvements
The Import Spreadsheet tool has been improved to make working with Excel data in Revit more flexible and efficient. You can now import multiple .xls and .xlsx files as Revit schedules, edit them and apply them to sheets.
A new management dialog introduces better control over imported spreadsheets, including support for multiple files, import history, and options to add, edit, reload, or delete imports. Users can also reload outdated files individually or in bulk, while previously defined cell sizes are now preserved and automatically reapplied during re-imports. View workflow example.
Resize Section Box Improvements
The Resize Section Box tool now includes a live preview of the section box before applying changes, making it easier to adjust 3D views with precision. Users can also zoom and rotate around the box for better spatial control, and quickly create a new 3D view once the position is set.
Room tools – Updates and New Features
Added a streamlined Rooms dropdown menu that brings together tools for faster and more efficient room management, including Room to 3D, Room Views, Room Reports, and more.
More information about the room tools can be found here.
New tools:
- Room to Ceiling – Creates ceilings for selected rooms with full control over type, position, offset, and heigh.
- DWG to Room Separations – Generates room separation lines directly from geometry in a linked DWG file. Simply select the linked DWG and choose the required layers.
- Room to Lines – Converts selected room boundaries into Detail Lines for documentation or Model Lines for 3D modeling.
- Center Rooms – Automatically moves the room center point to the true geometric centroid of the selected room.
- Revision Cloud Selected Elements – Creates a revision cloud that automatically wraps around selected elements across all relevant sheets. Learn more.
- Open Link – Opens a selected linked file in a separate Revit session. The tool is available in the BIM Manager panel under the BIM pull-down menu.
- Crop View Using Rectangle – Lets you draw a rectangle in any view and automatically applies it as the crop boundary. Learn more.
