"revit" matching MCP tools:

• nwd_list_objects

  Navisworks MCP

  List elements (objects) in the translated Navisworks model with their objectid, name, externalId, and full property bag, optionally filtered by a case-insensitive keyword matched against name and Category. When to use: when answering "how many VAV boxes are on Level 3?", "list every steel column with mark C-*", or any per-element question; when dumping a quick takeoff of a discipline before handing off to an estimator; when an agent needs externalIds to cross-reference with a Revit or ACC issue. When NOT to use: not for clash detection (use nwd_get_clashes); not for camera/viewpoint data (use nwd_get_viewpoints); not for full-model exports — results are capped at 100 objects per call, so use the filter argument to narrow. APS scopes required: viewables:read data:read. Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min; two Model Derivative calls per invocation (metadata guid + properties). Properties endpoint may 202 "isProcessing" on first call after translation — the worker retries once after 3s. For very large models the properties payload can be tens of MB; expect higher latency. Errors: 401 token (retry); 403 scope (report); 404 URN not found; 409 N/A; 422 property index not yet built — returns object_count:0 (poll via nwd_export_report); 429 rate limit (backoff); 5xx APS upstream (retry once). If property collection is legitimately empty the tool returns success with object_count:0 and an empty objects array. Side effects: none. Pure read. Idempotent. Logs usage to D1 usage_log. Response includes a `note` field when the unfiltered collection exceeds the 100-object cap.

• tm_import_rvt

  Twinmotion MCP

  Import a Revit/BIM model into the Twinmotion visualization pipeline: downloads the source file from a public URL, uploads it to an APS OSS transient bucket, and kicks off an SVF2 + thumbnail translation job. Returns the base64 URN (project_id) used by every other tm_* tool. When to use: when a user wants to prepare a Revit (.rvt), IFC (.ifc), or other BIM/CAD model for real-time visualization in Unreal Engine / Twinmotion — typically the first step before rendering stills, defining scenes, or exporting FBX/glTF/OBJ geometry for a UE import. Also use when you need thumbnails or view metadata from a source file that has not yet been translated by APS. When NOT to use: not for MEP clash review (use navisworks-mcp), not for quantity takeoff or cost estimation (use qto-mcp), not for Twinmotion presets editing — Twinmotion itself has no public REST API, so scene/material authoring must happen manually in the UE editor after FBX/USD export. APS scopes required: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read. Uses Model Derivative API (translation) + OSS (upload). Twinmotion has no public REST API; all automation is APS Model Derivative + manual Unreal Engine export. Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; large .rvt/.nwd/.ifc files are often multi-GB and translation can take 5–60 min — poll the manifest with exponential backoff (start 5s, cap 60s) rather than retrying this tool. Worker request ceiling is ~100MB body; extremely large files may need signed-URL upload instead. Errors: 401 = APS token failed (check APS_CLIENT_ID/APS_CLIENT_SECRET, re-auth); 403 = scope missing (bucket:create/data:write not granted — have user re-consent); 404 = file_url unreachable; 409 = bucket key collision (rare — retry, tool uses timestamp); 413/507 = file too large for worker memory (advise signed-URL upload); 422 = unsupported source format (only Autodesk-accepted types: rvt, ifc, nwd, dwg, dgn, 3dm, stp, etc.); 429 = back off 60s before retrying; 5xx = APS upstream outage, retry with backoff. Side effects: CREATES a new transient OSS bucket (scanbim-viz-<timestamp>, auto-expires in 24h), CREATES an object in OSS, STARTS a translation job consuming APS cloud credits. NOT idempotent — each call creates a new bucket + URN. Writes a row to usage_log D1 table.

• nwd_upload

  Navisworks MCP

  Upload a Navisworks file (.nwd/.nwf/.nwc) to Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Object Storage and start an SVF2 translation job so the model becomes queryable by the other nwd_* tools. When to use: at the start of a coordination workflow — e.g. the GC hands off a federated NWD combining MEP + structural + architectural models and the agent needs to stage it for clash review before issuing an RFI, or when a subcontractor publishes a new NWC model revision that must be ingested for weekly BIM coordination. Always the first call in a session for any new model. When NOT to use: do not call for already-translated models (re-use the returned model_id/URN); do not use for raw Revit .rvt, IFC, or DWG — those go through a different MCP. APS scopes required: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read. The worker acquires a 2-legged client-credentials token; the caller does not supply one. Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation job submission ~60 req/min. NWD bundles can be large (hundreds of MB); the upload PUT and translation can take minutes — translation is asynchronous, poll via nwd_export_report (manifest) with exponential backoff (e.g. 5s, 10s, 30s, 60s) before calling clash/properties tools. Errors the agent should handle: 401 invalid/expired APS token (surface as auth failure — do not retry with same creds); 403 missing scope (report scope gap, do not retry); 404 source file_url unreachable (ask user for a fresh public URL); 409 bucket already exists (handled internally, safe to ignore); 413/422 unsupported Navisworks version — APS Model Derivative supports NWD/NWC from Navisworks 2015 and later (state the unsupported version to the user); 429 rate limited (exponential backoff, retry); 5xx APS upstream (retry once, then surface). Side effects: creates a fresh transient OSS bucket (scanbim-nwd-<timestamp>, 24h TTL) and uploads the file as an object, then POSTs a Model Derivative translation job. NOT idempotent — each call creates a new bucket/URN even for the same file_url. Logs usage to the D1 usage_log table.

• revit_export_ifc

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Kick off a Model Derivative translation of a previously uploaded Revit URN into IFC (IFC2x3 Coordination View 2.0 by default) so the model can be exchanged with non-Autodesk tools (Solibri, BIMcollab, Tekla, openBIM workflows). When NOT to use: Do not use for SVF/SVF2 web viewing (that happens automatically in revit_upload), and do not call repeatedly while a prior IFC job is still inprogress — poll the manifest instead. APS scopes: data:read data:write viewables:read (Model Derivative job + manifest). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add data:write. 404 URN not found — confirm model_id was translated. 409 not applicable. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter up to 3x. Side effects: Creates a Model Derivative job and, on completion, a new IFC derivative inside the model's manifest. Safe to re-run (APS deduplicates) but each call with x-ads-force may retranslate.

• upload_model

  ScanBIM MCP

  Ingest a 3D model from a public URL into APS OSS and kick off a Model Derivative translation job, returning the URN plus a browser viewer link and QR code. Supports 50+ formats: Revit (.rvt/.rfa), Navisworks (.nwd/.nwc), IFC, FBX, OBJ, SolidWorks, point clouds (E57/LAS/RCP), CAD (DWG/STEP/IGES), etc. When to use: you have a publicly downloadable 3D file (S3 presigned URL, GitHub raw, etc.) and need it translated to SVF2 so it can be viewed, measured, or clash-checked via other tools. When NOT to use: the file is only on a local disk or behind auth (fetch will fail) — first push it to a public URL. Do not call to re-translate a model already uploaded; call get_model_metadata instead. APS scopes: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired/invalid — refresh; 403 scope or resource permission denied; 404 source file_url not reachable or bucket not found — check the ID; 409 bucket name conflict (bucket already owned by another app — pick a unique bucketKey); 429 rate limited — backoff and retry; 5xx APS upstream outage — retry with jitter. Side effects: NON-IDEMPOTENT. Creates the scanbim-models bucket if absent, uploads a new OSS object with a timestamped key (each call creates a distinct object even for the same input), submits a Model Derivative job (x-ads-force=true overwrites prior derivatives for the same URN), and inserts a row into D1 usage_log + models table.

• revit_upload

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Ingest a Revit (.rvt / .rfa / .rte / .rft) file into Autodesk Platform Services by downloading it from a publicly reachable URL, uploading it to an OSS bucket, and starting an SVF2 translation so downstream revit_* tools can read elements, parameters, sheets, and views. When NOT to use: Do not call if you already have a translated URN (use the existing model_id instead), if the file is not a Revit source file, or if the URL requires authentication the worker cannot satisfy. APS scopes: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read (OSS bucket create + object PUT + Model Derivative job). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh credentials and retry. 403 scope insufficient — request data:write + bucket:create. 404 bucket/object not found — confirm bucket was created. 409 bucket exists — safe to ignore, reuse it. 429 rate limited — back off with exponential delay. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter up to 3x, then surface. Side effects: Creates a new transient OSS bucket named scanbim-revit-<timestamp>, uploads the object, and starts a Model Derivative translation job. NOT idempotent — each call creates a fresh bucket and new URN.

• revit_run_schedule

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Build a tabular, spreadsheet-style schedule (rows = elements matching a keyword, columns = up to 15 shared parameters) from a translated Revit model — useful for Door Schedules, Wall Schedules, Room Schedules, and QA/QC exports. When NOT to use: Do not use when you only need raw element metadata (use revit_get_elements) or parameter schema (use revit_get_parameters). APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + properties). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — check model_id. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only. Idempotent.

• revit_get_sheets

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Enumerate the drawing sheets (title blocks with sheet number + sheet name like 'A-101: First Floor Plan') published from a translated Revit model, so an agent can pick which sheet to render, review, or cross-reference. When NOT to use: Do not use to list model views like floor plans or 3D views (use revit_get_views) — this returns only 2D sheet entries. APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + object tree). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — check model_id. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only. Idempotent.

• cao_generer_ifc

  immobilier

  WHEN the drawing must leave as a real BIM file, openable in Revit/ArchiCAD/Solibri — not just a drawing. Draw a building scene and get an IFC4 file: real spatial hierarchy (project/site/building/storeys), each element with a real IFC GUID and a material carrying physical properties (density, thermal conductivity). Doors/windows are classified IfcDoor/IfcWindow and positioned, but no boolean opening is cut in the host wall (documented limitation). Call cao_verifier first. Same scene as cao_generer_dxf.

• revit_get_elements

  Revit MCP

  When to use: After a Revit model has finished translating, fetch the first ~100 elements belonging to a Revit category (e.g. Walls, Doors, Windows, Structural Columns) with their objectid, name, externalId, and property bag. When NOT to use: Do not call before translation completes (manifest.status must be success), and do not use for free-text searches across the whole model — filter by category here or use revit_run_schedule for tabular views. APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + properties). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — confirm model_id and that translation has run. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only. Idempotent.

  Connector

• revit_get_parameters

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Enumerate the Revit parameters (type + instance) that appear on elements in a given category, or on one specific element by objectid. Returns unique values per parameter and how many elements carry it — ideal for schema discovery before building a schedule. When NOT to use: Do not use when you just need the elements themselves (use revit_get_elements), or to modify values — this is read-only. APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + properties). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — verify model_id. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only. Idempotent.

• revit_get_views

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Return every view (both 2D — floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, sections, sheets — and 3D — default {3D}, perspective views, isometric views) in the translated Revit model, including each view's GUID, name, role, and whether it is the master view. When NOT to use: Do not use when you only want drawing sheets (use revit_get_sheets) or element data inside a view (use revit_get_elements / revit_run_schedule). APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + object tree). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — check model_id. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only. Idempotent.

• revit_clash_detect

  Revit MCP

  When to use: Perform a lightweight clash analysis between two Revit categories (e.g. Mechanical Equipment vs Structural Framing) using bounding-box overlap where available, falling back to shared-Level proximity, then annotate with any matching VDC rules stored in the D1 database. When NOT to use: Do not use as a substitute for Navisworks Manage for contractual clash reports — this is a first-pass coordination sniff test, not a certified Clash Detective run. APS scopes: data:read viewables:read (Model Derivative metadata + properties). Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable. Errors: 401 APS token expired — refresh. 403 scope insufficient — add viewables:read. 404 URN not found — verify model_id. 429 rate limited — back off. 5xx APS upstream — retry with jitter. Side effects: Read-only against APS. May read from D1 vdc_rules table if present. Idempotent.
