AI Connector For Revit
by
Enables AI desktop applications to read and select Revit model elements through a set of predefined micro‑tools, integrated directly into the Nonicatab toolbar.
AI Connector For Revit Overview
What is AI Connector For Revit about?
AI Connector For Revit bridges AI desktop assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) with Autodesk Revit, allowing the AI to query model data and select elements using 36 ready‑made tools instead of generating custom Revit code.
How to use AI Connector For Revit?
- Install the official Revit add‑in from the Autodesk App Store.
- Install an AI desktop app (Claude, Cursor, or a compatible MCP‑enabled tool).
- Open Revit (2022‑2026) and locate the AI Connector button on the Nonicatab toolbar.
- Launch the AI app, then start the AI Connector from the toolbar. If Claude is used, restart Claude after the first launch.
- Ask the AI to perform tasks (e.g., retrieve parameters, list views on a sheet). The AI will invoke the appropriate micro‑tool and return results.
Key features of AI Connector For Revit
- Predefined micro‑tools (e.g., get parameters, extract family sizes, list viewports on sheets).
- Feedback‑driven interaction: AI adapts to Revit responses, reducing coding errors.
- Read‑only & selection mode (Phase 1) for safe model inspection.
- Seamless Nonicatab integration: single‑click access from the Revit toolbar.
- Supports multiple AI desktop apps through the Model Context Protocol.
Use cases of AI Connector For Revit
- Quickly audit parameter values across multiple elements.
- Assess family file sizes to optimize project performance.
- Generate inventories of views placed on construction sheets.
- Assist BIM managers in navigating large models without manual querying.
- Enable rapid prototyping of AI‑driven design checks.
FAQ from AI Connector For Revit
Q: Which Revit versions are supported? A: 2022 through 2026.
Q: Do I need programming skills to use the connector? A: No; all interactions occur via natural language prompts to the AI app.
Q: Can the connector modify the model? A: Currently limited to read‑only inspection and element selection (Phase 1).
Q: What AI apps are compatible? A: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot in VS Code, and any MCP‑compatible desktop AI.
Q: Where do I find the full list of tools? A: Use the Search and Tools commands inside Claude (or your chosen AI) to view the complete catalog.
AI Connector For Revit's README
AI Connector for Revit
The AI Connector for Revit connects AI Desktop Apps (like Claude, Cursor or Copilot) with Revit. Rather than generating new Revit code, the AI uses a set of 36 predefined tools to inspect and select elements based on model feedback.
Features
-
Predefined Tools
- Inspect parameters, family sizes, sheets and views, and more
- Examples:
- Get the value of a parameter
- Determine the file size of a family
- List views placed on a sheet
-
Feedback-Driven Interaction
The AI invokes your tools and adapts to Revit’s responses, reducing errors from hand-crafted code. -
Read & Select Only (Phase 1)
Model reading, inspection, and element selection -
Integration with Nonicatab
The “AI Connector” button appears in the Nonicatab toolbar after installation, and selecting the ready-to-use toolbar or tool.
Prerequisites
- Autodesk Revit from 2022 to 2026
- Nonicatab Revit plugin.
- Claude Desktop App or Cursor for automatic setup Also compatible with Copilot in VSCode and any other MCP compatible desktop app.
Installation
-
Get the installer from Autodesk App Store.
-
Claude.
Install Claude Desktop App (read the Terms and Conditions, remember you are granting access to AI models to your Revit model). It is free and enough for a few tests, but you may need Claude pro for frequent use and conversation length. -
Run Revit.
Start Revit (from 2022 to 2026), and select a toolbar that includes the AI Connector for Revit. -
Run the AI Connector for Revit.
Go to Nonicatab toolbar in Revit and run the AI Connector. If Claude was opened, remember to restart Claude (close from corner next to Windows clock) after opening the AI Connector the first time. -
Start asking.
While the AI Connector for Revit is open and active, Claude will be able to access your Revit model using a set of tools.
Tools Overview
A selection of the available micro-tools is listed below. Use Search and Tools in Claude to see full list.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_parameters_from_elementid(list_elementId, name) |
Returns all parameters for the specified element id. |
extract_size_in_MB_of_families(familyName) |
Returns the family file sizes in megabytes. |
get_viewports_placed_on_sheets(sheetNumber) |
Lists all views placed on a list of sheets. |
