Revit – Model Checker

by Garry Stockton

I’d like to bring your attention to a set of tools for use in Revit that helps you comply on BIM projects. These free tools are available to download.  You’ll need to download and install for each version of Revit that you wish to run this tool from your Autodesk account under Product Updates.

Just type into your normal search engine; BIM Interoperability Tools and the version of Revit you are using.

Needing help to know the health of your Revit models? The Autodesk Revit Interoperability Tools – Model Checker will do just that for you!  After you install it will look like below, remember to run the Setup first from your ribbon tools.

Pick your selections in the Run portion of the ribbon tools.

Pick your selections in the Run portion of the ribbon tools. Then, select Run Report.

It will analyse the data.

Once completed, it will give you a report of any issues in your project, which you can then export as a HTML, XML File or Copy to a word document.

Now you can explore the list for issues in a Cobie XML sheet and can see how detailed the information is coming from this exported report about your Revit model.
