Current (?) Revit Tools and Addons

I have added a few others at the bottom of this post. Thanks to all!!!

There is a lot of inquiry about Revit addons and tools, beyond the OOTB capabilities. So in an attempt at compiling an exhaustive list this post may grow in the future. I have not tried them all so beware and use at your own risk; as always let us know the good/bad&ugly... FYI, this post is not going to deal with full applications such as green Building Studio, Ecotect, IES, E-Specs, etc., as those types of Apps stand on their own.

Here we go!!!
Autodesk Labs Always have something new and exciting
Autodesk Labs RDB Link tool (link to external data)
Autodesk Labs STL Exporter 2010
Autodesk Labs Share Now
Autodesk Labs Dragonfly (to Revit also)

If you are an Autodesk Subscription customer (and some of us are) you should always login & check in to see what additions they have, like the Globe Link, Navisworks Exporter (don't forget to get the patch!!!) Worksharing Monitor, Batch Print utility (reorders printed order of sheets too!!!), etc.!!! Don't forget all of the other Arch, Struct & MEP Extensions they have there too...
