I made a similar algorithm with Rhino inside Revit, even inserting other elements such as furniture... the only detail is that it is required beforehand to prepare the dwg so that the conversion is efficient... if you work under certain protocols in CAD it is very efficient, even modifying the dwg the change is automatic in Revit.

So Excited for this. Thank you for programming the automated processes we've wished for, for decades.

This significantly reduces time and accelerates the modeling process. Eagerly anticipating numerous future enhancements. 😃

Would be nice to save the settings to a templates of sorts so settings can be easily reused

[codysmith]

I keep getting 'value true could not be converted' when I try to select a family type for a layer

Great plugin! For UK market, version comes with a month free trial?

[darkjill]

Very cool software. Why would you only put a single wall along the center of 2 walls? Do they represent something besides two separate walls?

[THX_G]

the walls were not creating by cad file layers.
can anyone help me?

Hello, How can I bring Evolve lab in Revit?

[THX_G]

can we get the dwg file which you have used in this video?
