Revit tools

The BMC plugin adds one BMC tab to Revit 2027 with the tools below. Each tool is loaded only when you click it, so a broken tool never stops Export IFC.

Export IFC Live

Exports the model to IFC4 Reference View with the fixed preset: Revit reads the model, Rust converts it in the background, and a summary shows the timings. Settings are remembered per model. The export log lists everything that happened, including settings that were not applied.

Re-export cache Live

A fast re-export after small edits.

  • Save cache (BMC Settings, on by default) keeps what each whole-model export read, on disk, per model.
  • Use cache (Export IFC) re-reads only the elements that changed since then, including edits you have not saved.
  • The output equals a full export of the same state. If in doubt, the cache reads more, never less.
  • BMC Settings sets the cache’s total size limit and can clear it.

IFC+SG Parameters Live

Binds the BMC IFC+SG shared parameters to the right Revit categories, with a preview before anything changes. Fill the parameters in, and Export IFC writes them into the IFC+SG property sets with the built-in mapping. See IFC+SG and CORENET X.

Wipe Psets Live

Deletes the user-defined IFC property sets stored in the model, so a property-set file can be imported cleanly.

BMC dashboard Preview

All tool windows move into one app shown beside Revit: one window, one page per tool, which stays on top of Revit but never above other apps. Revit data reaches it only through the plugin. It is being tried out now; the classic dialogs stay as a fallback.

Linked files In progress

Export linked Revit models as separate IFC files. The option is in the dialog; the export log lists it as not applied until it ships.

Installer Coming soon

One installer for the BMC tab and every tool on it.

Your model is safe

  • BMC never saves your .rvt. Temporary changes needed for the export happen in transactions that are always rolled back.
  • The only model change is writing repaired GUIDs, and only after you click Save to model.
  • Models never leave your machine.
