Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Architects and engineers using Revit need to share models with manufacturing partners, mechanical engineers, and CAD software users. Exporting to generic formats loses precision geometry, colors, and material information, requiring manual re-modeling. Current workarounds consume 5-15 hours per project.

✅

The Solution

Plugin exports Revit 3D models directly to STEP format (AP203, AP214, AP242 protocols) with full geometry fidelity, color preservation, and wireframe data. One-click export maintains BIM relationships for downstream manufacturing, analysis, and interoperability workflows.
