Before you start

In order to access our plugin you need to login to an account with a valid “Integrations” or “Pro” license.

Configuring the plugin

After logging in, you will be prompted to select the information requirements to ensure that you will only be working on the attributes that are required for the specific model at hand. No more no less.

  • Select the Project that you are working on. You will also find your standards alongside your projects so you can use them directly for the attribution.

  • Select the Catalog from your project / standard, that you want to apply on the model.

  • Choose one or more Information levels if you want to filter the properties, e.g. for a specific project phase, use case or milestone. Depending on the setup of the catalogue, you will have one or two fields with information levels.

  • Select one or more Domains if your project specifies who is responsible for delivering which information. Selecting a domain will filter specifications and properties.

Selecting information levels and domains is optional. If you leave the fields empty, every property will be included regardless of information levels and domains.

Press Start Plugin to continue.

Synchronize Parameters in Revit

When starting the plugin for the first time you will be prompted to synchronize the parameters in Revit.

Based on the parameter GUIDs, the plugin checks whether the required parameters do already exist. Missing parameters will be automatically created by the plugin as shared parameters within your project. Existing parameters will be updated.

The following information will be automatically updated:

  • Parameter name

  • Parameter data type

  • Parameter binding (type vs. instance)

You will get an overview of how the synchronization will effect the parameters in your project:

To use the LastBIM plugin in Revit, you cannot skip the synchronization step, as this ensures that everyone is working with the latest information.

If the changes listed in the synchronization table do not correspond to what you expected, please check the settings on the platform.
