What it can do

  • The Read edition has 8 tools to query the model, get element data and the active context, select, show and export views, without changing anything.
  • The Write edition adds parameter edits and moving and rotating elements, for 11 tools.
  • The Experimental edition has 39 tools, adding sheets, section and plan views, schedules, rooms and room boundaries, tagging, deletion and gbXML and IFC export.
  • The installer writes the Claude Desktop config on machines where Claude Desktop is installed.

Limitations

  • Technical preview; Autodesk says tools and behaviour may change before general availability.
  • Supported on Revit 2027.2 only; earlier Revit releases aren't covered.
  • Write and Experimental editions change the model, so Autodesk advises backing it up and reviewing proposed changes first.
  • Cursor has to be configured by hand during the preview, using the Windows short path.

Install
