AI Connector For Revit
by
Enables AI desktop applications to interact with Autodesk Revit models through a set of predefined, read‑only tools for inspection and element selection.
AI Connector For Revit Overview
What is AI Connector For Revit about?
The tool bridges AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) with Revit, allowing the AI to query model data and select elements using 36 built‑in micro‑tools instead of generating custom code.
How to use AI Connector For Revit?
- Install the AI Connector from the Autodesk App Store.
- Install and launch a supported AI desktop app (Claude, Cursor, or Copilot).
- Open Revit (2022‑2026) and ensure the Nonicatab toolbar is visible.
- Click the AI Connector button on the Nonicatab toolbar.
- If Claude is running, restart it after the first launch of the connector.
- Ask the AI questions about the model; the connector will invoke the appropriate tools and return results.
Key features of AI Connector For Revit
- Predefined micro‑tools (e.g., get parameters, family file size, viewports on sheets).
- Feedback‑driven interaction where the AI adapts to Revit responses.
- Read‑only mode (Phase 1) – safe inspection and selection without modifying the model.
- Seamless integration with the Nonicatab Revit plugin.
- Compatibility with Revit 2022‑2026 and multiple AI desktop apps.
Use cases of AI Connector For Revit
- Quickly retrieve parameter values for selected elements.
- Audit family sizes across a project to manage file bloat.
- Generate a list of views placed on specific sheets for documentation.
- Assist designers in exploring model data without writing Revit API code.
- Support QA teams in validating model consistency through natural‑language queries.
FAQ from the AI Connector For Revit
Q: Does the connector modify my Revit model? A: No. It operates in a read‑only mode, only inspecting and selecting elements.
Q: Which AI apps are supported? A: Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP‑compatible desktop app such as Copilot in VSCode.
Q: What Revit versions are compatible? A: Versions 2022 through 2026.
Q: Do I need an internet connection? A: Yes, the AI service requires online access to communicate with the selected AI model.
Q: How are the tools discovered? A: Use the Search and Tools feature within Claude (or the chosen AI app) to view the full list of 36 micro‑tools.
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. |
