Revit does it
The plan opens with those walls selected. You decide what to fix.
Which warnings should open on a plan?
14 found, in 3 groupsWalls overlap (2) · Recommended
One wall is ignored at the room boundary, so the room's area can be wrong. Level 1: 3, Level 2: 1.
Foundation analytical model errors (11)
Broken in the upgrade. Little effect unless structural analysis is used. Foundation: 10, Level 2: 1.
Stair top height (1)
The stair does not meet its top level. It can show in section and elevation. Level 1, Living Rm.
What is a skill, and why is it better than a chatbot?
The handbook: what I learned the expensive way
Fifty-three pages: what each skill made on a real model, and the tips that cost me a billion tokens to learn.
What it does for you
The views and filters you set up by hand, every project
Every project starts the same way: working filters, a colour plan by department, an exploded axonometric for the client. Hours of setup before the design work can start.
→ Claude reads what is in your model and makes them as new views, on their own sheets. Yours stay as they were.
Working filters
Colour plan
Exploded axonometric
Schedules into Excel, the way Revit draws them
The consultant wants it in Excel. Copy and paste drops the headings, and the totals come across as text that won’t add up.
→ Pick the schedules. One workbook, one sheet each, the numbers as numbers.

QA before the set goes out
The things that slip through are the ones there was no time to check before the set went out.
→ It reads the whole set and lists what it found, with a plan of each one. You decide what to fix. Nothing changes until you say yes.
- ✓Views on the wrong scale
- ✓Title block fields still on Author or Checker
- ✓Dimensions somebody typed over
- ✓Text too small to print
- ✓Section marks that went missing
- ✓Exterior walls facing the wrong way
Your model where the team already works
Not everyone on the team opens Revit, and they still need the sheet list, the status and the views.
→ A sheet board in Notion, the views on a Miro board, a deck in PowerPoint. Made from the model, not from screenshots.
Notion
Miro
PowerPoint
Renders from your own materials
Rendering time goes to exporting views one by one and typing a prompt for each picture, while the materials are already named in the model.
→ Claude reads the finishes in your view and writes the brief itself. Pick the views, and they render together. Keep the one that matches your model. Needs an account with a render service.
Your Revit view, as Claude reads it
The render
Four renders from one request
Or a colour map, one colour per surface
The render from it
A cleaner file
A heavy file slows the whole team down, and a long warning list is hard to read for the ones that matter.
→ Warnings sorted by what they change, with a plan of each. Unused views and families, elements drawn twice, rooms that need a look, what makes the file heavy.
The page it opens beside your model
Say 1, and the plan opens with those walls selected
Every check works this way: a page of what it found and what it changes, then the view in Revit with the elements selected. You decide what to do about each one.
How you use it
- 1
Install once
Drop the zip into Claude with one line.
- 2
Ask
Type /revit, or say it in your own words.
- 3
See it first
A preview, then questions with buttons.
- 4
Revit does it
New views and sheets appear. Yours stay as they were.
Built for a real office
No code to write
You type in your own words, or /revit and pick. The install is a zip and one line.
Your model stays on your computer
Only what you send leaves: a line drawing to the render service, a board to Notion or Miro.
Shared models
Work on a detached copy, the way you would with any new add-in.
Claude can be wrong
So every skill shows what it found before anything changes, and the numbers are yours to check before they land on a drawing.
Run on real models first
Every skill was run on real models, on Revit 2024 to 2027, before it went in. Big models take longer.
Nothing runs on its own
Revit open, Claude open, you asking. It works on the file you have open, while you are there.

Who made this
I am David. I have used Revit a lot at architecture firms across North America, much of the time as a computational designer, asking how AI could take the repetitive part of that work. I have put hundreds of hours into Revit and AI together, and burned a lot of tokens finding out which Revit jobs Claude can really do. The 44 that made the cut are here, and the handbook is what I learned on the way, so you do not have to. @arch_ai_lab
