Have you already started using any Revit AI tools to make your design and BIM workflows easier?
If not, you’re missing out.
If you’ve ever questioned why you became an architect after spending hours on boring annotations, documentation, and clash detection, you’re not alone.
Architecture is about creativity and solving real-world problems, not grinding through repetitive Revit tasks, tedious documentation processes, or waiting on slow renders to finish.
That’s where AI plugins for Revit come in. From site optimization to rendering, these tools automate time-consuming work, deliver real-time performance insights, and even support generative design. The result: faster, easier, and more efficient workflows.
In this guide, we’ll cover how to use AI in Revit to help you speed up design, simplify documentation, and take visualization to the next level.
Best for: Easy photorealistic rendering
MyArchitectAI is an AI-powered rendering engine that turns your Revit scenes into photorealistic visuals in just 10 seconds. With an intuitive interface and automated lighting and texturing, it’s one of the easiest AI tools for Revit to add to your workflow.
Rendering with MyArchitectAI takes only three steps:
1. Create a free account.
2. Export your Revit model as a JPG or PNG and upload it to MyArchitectAI.
3. Choose the Render engine and (optionally) describe your scene in words.

4. Click the “Generate” button. The AI tool will apply all optimizations automatically, creating a polished, photorealistic render in about 10 seconds.
Need changes? Use the Edit by Prompt tool to refine your render using text prompts. You can add or remove objects, retexture surfaces, adjust lighting, change landscapes, and more.
Here’s an example after using the prompt “turn it into a winter scene”:
MyArchitectAI also includes a one-click Enhance feature that upgrades low-resolution renders, saving you hours of manual post-processing.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: Free for 10 renders a month; $29/month for unlimited renders
Best for: 2D drawing conversion into Revit elements
WiseBIM AI helps you easily turn your 2D plans into a 3D Revit model. The process can take anywhere between a few seconds and a couple of minutes, depending on the project size.
Although the tool itself is easy to use, there are a couple of steps to setting up the file till it’s ready for AI detection.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: $29/month
Best for: Automating repetitive and manual tasks in Revit
Pele is a Revit AI plugin that will help you improve your creativity and productivity by automating and streamlining manual tasks.
This AI assistant tool lets you write your request in a simple text prompt, and it will work on it while you get to focus on high-value tasks.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: Free trial for the first 20 prompts; then, $20 for 250 prompts.
Best for: Rapid generative design and feasibility studies for pre-design site planning
Hypar is an AI-powered space planning plugin for Revit that helps architects quickly assess the viability of a design.
It automates tricky tasks like balancing occupancy, circulation, and program requirements, giving you instant feedback on whether a layout works.
You can import building program data from spreadsheets for rapid analysis and visualization, then integrate 3D Hypar models into Revit using the official add-in. The result: faster space planning with seamless Revit compatibility.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: $25/month
Best for: Generative design for site planning

TestFit is one of the best Revit AI plugins for rapid site planning and feasibility studies. It automates tasks like parking counts, massing, topography, and road layouts, giving you instant feedback on design, cost, and constructibility.
You control the parameters (unit count, parking ratios, setbacks, and more), and TestFit generates optimized design options in seconds. This makes it ideal for quick concept iterations and site optimization with real-time accuracy.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: From $1,200/year
Best for: Early-stage planning and conceptual design
Forma (the evolved version of Autodesk Spacemaker) is a cloud-based AI Revit tool that brings data-driven insights into the early design stages. It helps architects test ideas quickly with real-time analyses of noise, wind, sunlight, and microclimate - all essential factors for site and spatial planning.
In the schematic design stages, you can use Forma’s rich context data to explore ideas and test them against real-world conditions. Its AI-powered analyses cover noise, wind, sunlight, and microclimate - all crucial factors for effective site and spatial planning. With massing models, you can quickly iterate and evaluate concepts under tight deadlines, backed by real-time performance feedback.
Forma also integrates seamlessly with Revit. You can import Forma models into Revit for detailed modeling and visualization, or export Revit designs back into Forma for further environmental analysis.
This tool comes bundled with the Autodesk AEC Collection, but it’s also available as a standalone software package.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: $190/month or $1,550/year (Standalone); $460/month or $3,675/year (Autodesk AEC collection with Forma)
Best for: Help with documentation tasks

Glyph is a Revit AI plugin that automates repetitive documentation tasks such as sheet creation, tagging, and sheet packing.
Developed by EvolveLab, Glyph Copilot was built to help architects meet tight project timelines and handle the growing volume of construction documents. Powered by GPT technology, it allows you to type in simple text commands that are instantly translated into precise Revit actions.
With Glyph, you can automate view creation, add dimensions, and apply tags - tasks that are normally manual and time-consuming. Instead of spending hours on documentation, you just give a command, and Glyph does the work for you.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: $600/year (Named license); $1,062/year (Floating license)
Best for: Model conversion between Revit and SketchUp or Revit and AutoCAD
.avif)
Helix, also developed by EvolveLab, is an AI-powered interoperability plugin for Revit that makes it easy to convert models between different platforms.
With Helix, you can bring SketchUp and AutoCAD models into Revit by converting building components, furniture, site elements, and M&E fixtures into native Revit components and meshes.
The workflow also goes in the opposite direction: Revit models can be exported into SketchUp. During conversion, Revit materials are automatically mapped to SketchUp materials, and Revit levels are translated into SketchUp planes, streamlining collaboration across platforms.
Pros:
Cons:
Pricing: $297/year (Named license); $552/year (Floating license)
AI is no longer a buzzword in architecture. it’s already reshaping how architects work inside Revit.
If you’re looking to bring AI into your Revit workflow, start by identifying your biggest bottlenecks. Struggling with early design decisions? Try Forma or TestFit. Spending too much time on documentation? Glyph can automate it. Need smoother collaboration with SketchUp or AutoCAD? Helix makes that seamless.
The key is not to adopt every tool at once, but to integrate the ones that solve your immediate challenges. Even adding a single AI plugin to your Revit setup can save hours each week, reduce errors, and improve design quality.
