Projects get a color fill
Every view in a project shares one color. The active tab stands at full strength while its siblings recede, with a smooth fade through the close button and no gap between tabs.

Many files. Many tabs.
One glance.
Splash-It colors every Revit document tab by file, so you always know which model you are looking at. Projects get a rich fill, families a crisp color mark, and one click brings each file's tabs together.

A little add-in. A clearer workspace.
Your files, written in color.
Keep several models, families, views, sheets, and schedules open without losing track. Splash-It makes the tab strip useful at a glance, then gets out of your way.
Families get their own mark
A colored L on the left and top edge distinguishes family documents without filling the tab. It works for files opened from disk and families edited from a project.

Group Tabs gathers each file's views without changing their order or your selected view. It sorts only when you ask, works with coloring on or off, and never moves tabs between panes.
Explore Group TabsYour palettes, your way
Choose up to 12 project colors and 12 family colors. Pick from a palette, enter a hex value, or sample anywhere on screen, then tune fill, inactive-tab, and family-bar opacity.

Splash-It follows Revit's theme. Titles and close glyphs choose black or white for contrast against the color actually shown, so the strip stays legible when the theme changes.
Built for both themesA look you can share
Export your colors and settings to a small JSON file, then import a teammate's look. Saving updates open tabs immediately. Turning coloring off restores Revit's original styles.
Share and reset settingsFrom scattered to sorted
One click. Every file back together.
Revit adds new views at the end of the strip. Group Tabs brings each file's tabs together while keeping the current file first, preserving each file's view order, and leaving your selected view selected.
