Dusty Robotics has made its rewritten Revit plugin generally available. The add-in exports a 2D plan view from Revit directly to the Dusty Portal, where it becomes a print-ready layout for the company’s floor-marking robots.
What’s new
Dusty announced the release on its blog on November 11, 2026. Until now, layout files typically went through a DWG export and cleanup in AutoCAD before printing. According to Dusty, the new plugin removes that step:
- Direct export of a Revit plan view to the Dusty Portal, with no DWG export or AutoCAD cleanup.
- Layer mapping: Revit categories are mapped to Dusty layers inside the add-in.
- Print-time estimates shown before export.
- Coordinate choice: the layout can be placed from the Project Base Point, Shared Coordinates or the Internal Origin.
- Offline file: a .dusty file can also be exported without a Portal account, according to Dusty’s user guide.
The plugin runs on Revit 2022 through 2027 and installs from the Autodesk App Store. Dusty says it is included at no additional cost for Dusty customers; the announcement gives no price for other users.
Why it matters
Robotic layout only pays off if the file that reaches the jobsite matches the model. Every DWG round trip is a chance to lose layers, scale or coordinates, so a direct path from the Revit view reduces handling errors and saves VDC teams time on each print.
Before switching, check two things on a pilot floor: that your category-to-layer mapping matches what field crews expect to see printed, and that the coordinate option you pick lines up with the control points used on site.
