Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit

The Extension for Revit is a small plug-in that loads into Revit in seconds. Archibus provides a Revit Ribbon menu with commands that use Web Services to immediately connect your Revit model to your Archibus enterprise database. The Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit provides tools for editing Building Information Model (BIM) and publishing of enterprise graphics.

The Extension for Revit:

• Supports all facility management elements in BIM models, such as rooms, areas, furniture, equipment, network devices, security devices, and life safety.
• Puts BIM data to work immediately for maintenance-related processes
• Connects seamlessly to Archibus applications for increased productivity and data accuracy
• Bidirectionally synchronizes Revit model and enterprise data. As you change the model -- by widening an area or dragging and dropping equipment into a new room -- Archibus automatically updates the enterprise database. The process is bidirectional. As the enterprise users request and close move orders, for instance, Archibus can update your occupancy within the Revit BIM model.

The Smart Client Extension for Revit is available for Archibus SaaS, as well as deployments of the non-SaaS Archibus software.

In Archibus SaaS deployments, the Smart Client Extension for Revit is installed locally and you work with drawings on your hard drive or local network. When you enterprise graphics, the resulting SVG files are published to the Cloud.
