What it contains
The tools with which you and your AI work together in Revit. On one side, your AI can ask you to point at something with the mouse: one or more points in the active view, with Revit's snaps, or elements, faces, edges or a point on an element. Instead of dictating coordinates or looking up ids, you click in Revit and your AI uses exactly what you pointed at.
On the other side, your AI can open a work session: from then on BIMit records every element its tools add, change or delete in the model, sums it up by category and, if needed, deletes in one go the elements it created, after a simulation and with your confirmation. The changes you make in Revit yourself are not recorded.
When to use it
- To say "put it here…" by clicking in Revit the start point of a wall, the corners of a ceiling or the position of a family.
- To show your AI "these elements" or "this face" without looking up ids or names.
- Before a modeling task in several steps, to know at the end what changed in the model.
- To remove everything your AI created in an attempt you are not happy with.
The tools
- Ask for a point: asks you to click one or more points in the active view and returns them in millimeters.
- Ask for elements: asks you to pick elements, faces, an edge or a point on an element, which stay selected.
- Work session: starts, sums up and closes the record of what your AI's tools change in the model.
- Undo the session: deletes the elements your AI created in the session in progress, first simulating and then with the confirmation.
Good to know
Every change to the model can be undone with Ctrl+Z in Revit; team actions ask for confirmation in Revit. If undoing the session would delete many elements not created by your AI (above your threshold, 50 by default), Revit asks for your approval first.
