What if you could turn a 2D plan or even a quick sketch into a fully built 3D Revit model in just minutes? In this video, I explore a new AI tool that does exactly that.
I’ll walk through how it works, show you the outputs, and share what this could mean for architects, engineers, and BIM professionals.
🚀 Is this the future of starting projects in Revit? Watch and decide for yourself.
