Revit (revit-mcp)

When to use: Ingest a Revit (.rvt / .rfa / .rte / .rft) file into Autodesk Platform Services by downloading it from a publicly reachable URL, uploading it to an OSS bucket, and starting an SVF2 translation so downstream revit_* tools can read elements, parameters, sheets, and views. When NOT to use: Do not call if you already have a translated URN (use the existing model_id instead), if the file i

When to use: After a Revit model has finished translating, fetch the first ~100 elements belonging to a Revit category (e.g. Walls, Doors, Windows, Structural Columns) with their objectid, name, externalId, and property bag. When NOT to use: Do not call before translation completes (manifest.status must be success), and do not use for free-text searches across the whole model — filter by category

When to use: Enumerate the Revit parameters (type + instance) that appear on elements in a given category, or on one specific element by objectid. Returns unique values per parameter and how many elements carry it — ideal for schema discovery before building a schedule. When NOT to use: Do not use when you just need the elements themselves (use revit_get_elements), or to modify values — this is re

When to use: Build a tabular, spreadsheet-style schedule (rows = elements matching a keyword, columns = up to 15 shared parameters) from a translated Revit model — useful for Door Schedules, Wall Schedules, Room Schedules, and QA/QC exports. When NOT to use: Do not use when you only need raw element metadata (use revit_get_elements) or parameter schema (use revit_get_parameters). APS scopes: data:

When to use: Perform a lightweight clash analysis between two Revit categories (e.g. Mechanical Equipment vs Structural Framing) using bounding-box overlap where available, falling back to shared-Level proximity, then annotate with any matching VDC rules stored in the D1 database. When NOT to use: Do not use as a substitute for Navisworks Manage for contractual clash reports — this is a first-pass

When to use: Kick off a Model Derivative translation of a previously uploaded Revit URN into IFC (IFC2x3 Coordination View 2.0 by default) so the model can be exchanged with non-Autodesk tools (Solibri, BIMcollab, Tekla, openBIM workflows). When NOT to use: Do not use for SVF/SVF2 web viewing (that happens automatically in revit_upload), and do not call repeatedly while a prior IFC job is still in

When to use: Enumerate the drawing sheets (title blocks with sheet number + sheet name like 'A-101: First Floor Plan') published from a translated Revit model, so an agent can pick which sheet to render, review, or cross-reference. When NOT to use: Do not use to list model views like floor plans or 3D views (use revit_get_views) — this returns only 2D sheet entries. APS scopes: data:read viewables

When to use: Return every view (both 2D — floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, sections, sheets — and 3D — default {3D}, perspective views, isometric views) in the translated Revit model, including each view's GUID, name, role, and whether it is the master view. When NOT to use: Do not use when you only want drawing sheets (use revit_get_sheets) or element data inside a view (use revit_get_elem
