A follow on from our initial blog from December 2024 posted here.

The fastest way to level up your Revit workflow is to add AI where it actually helps. Think quicker early stage studies, instant visuals, automated model build from 2D, smarter feasibility, and rapid scan to BIM. These seven tools do that today.

1) Autodesk Forma

Early stage planning with AI for sun wind noise and metrics, then push to Revit when the concept is ready. Forma is Autodesk’s cloud tool and now the home for what used to be Spacemaker. Strong data overlays and quick automations help you test ideas fast then hand clean geometry to Revit with the Forma add in.

Best for concept planning with measurable impact in minutes.

2) Veras by EvolveLAB

AI rendering inside Revit. Use your live Revit view as the substrate and generate images in seconds for options reviews and client packs. No export dance. Supported up to Revit 2025.

Best for instant visuals during design meetings.

3) WiseBIM for Revit

AI turns 2D drawings into native Revit elements. Import PDF DWG or even image files, set scale and let detection build walls doors windows and slabs. Huge time saver when you only have legacy plans.

Best for projects that start life as 2D.

4) TestFit + Revit add in

AI assisted deal and feasibility studies for housing mix parking and massing. When your test looks viable, use the Revit add in to import sites buildings and interior fitouts or send kits of parts across.

Best for rapid pro formas that turn into real Revit models.

5) Hypar for Revit

Design automation that connects parametric workflows to your model. Stream a Hypar workflow into Revit views or extract model elements out for automated studies. Good for repeatable systems like layouts and kit based design.

Best for teams that script once and reuse everywhere.

6) ClearEdge3D EdgeWise

Computer vision speeds up scan to BIM. EdgeWise auto extracts pipes walls structure and more from point clouds, then exports direct to Revit for validation and detailing.

Best for as built models with tight deadlines.

7) Arkio with AI rendering and Revit link

Work in VR or desktop, sketch forms, review BIM data, then round trip with Revit. Arkio 2.0 adds AI rendering that snapshots your scene with prompts which is perfect for optioneering with stakeholders. Run live reviews across VR desktop and mobile. Invite clients with a scene link and everyone sees the same model at the same scale. Use voice chat, sketch and notes to capture feedback, tag issues and switch scenes without leaving the meeting. Presenter mode keeps the group in sync. Lock or allow edits as needed, then round trip agreed changes back to Revit with the plugin.

AI in Revit is working today. Forma and TestFit give fast feasibility. Veras and Arkio deliver instant visuals in the room. WiseBIM turns 2D into clean Revit elements. EdgeWise speeds scan to BIM. Hypar automates the repeat work. Start with the two tools that remove your biggest bottleneck then layer in the rest as your workflow matures. You will spend less time on setup and more time on design.
