Q&A
Theodore Johnson 8:02 AM How can I obtain a record of the PDH's earned at your webinars?
Anna Monteiro 8:04 AM We will send you an email with the webinar recording. Thank you!
Yaritza Lasso 8:03 AM ECHO
Anna Monteiro 8:04 AM Hi Yaritza, could you please join the session again? Thank you!
Amin Sadeghy 8:05 AM Hi I would like to know if using MCPs are safe in terms security and and acessing our local confidetial files?
Mark Lemay 8:07 AM it depends on the specific MCP. we try to make the MCPs we release very safe.
Beau Martinez 8:07 AM I still never got the emails from past webinars I've been at. Is there a person I can reach out for those?
Amin Sadeghy 8:08 AM I created my own MCP through Claude . I want to know if Claude can access my files at all or know or only the models that are open
Scott Buchanan 8:19 AM The public Revit MCP reads the open models currently. A custom MCP I've created in the past through Claude allowed me to acquire models based on paths or API calls from the containers in Forma.
Caspar Honee 8:08 AM When connecting Software to teh LLM, does the LLM consume the software contained logic and data ? Is thet a risk?
Mark Lemay 8:19 AM The LLM will need to look at some data to be usful. LLMs are usually run by 3rd parties. depending on your arangment, they will commit not to train on your data.
Raffi Kouyoumjian 8:08 AM Does MCP have in their pipeline collaboration with Navisworks?
Scott Buchanan 8:25 AM Future Autodesk Public MCP Servers are being evaluated for many products.
Ried Warma 8:09 AM Mark, you mention that you try to make the MCPs you release relatively safe but what are the risks we should be aware of when allowing it access to local projects or even ACC?
Mark Lemay 8:14 AM there are a few different potential risks you could imagine
- your information leaking out *your information getting currupted
for the MCP public server, we only allowed read operations, so your data will not be currupted.
Some information will need to be shared with your LLM provider, so your arangment with the LLM provider needs to match what you want.
Luís Raposo 8:09 AM will this connection to the LLM only be available for 2027 versions?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:10 AM Yes, this doesn't connect to previous versions of Revit.
Eric Blackburn 8:09 AM Could AI Assistant finally convert 2D DWG files into Revit linework? It's [checks calendar] 2026 and DWGs are still poorly displayed in Revit.
Scott Buchanan 8:14 AM Could it at some point, yes, does it currently, no. I have seen ML setups do this in the past. Hopefully when we do, people are better at setting the correct layer names for it to understand consistently :)
Jacob Cantrell 8:10 AM Is Revit simply a method to convert lay-text to API commands? How is this faster/better/stronger than simply using the functions within Inventor? My major block right now is "how do I describe what I want in a way that the LLM can call the proper API commands?" And then whether or not that effort is worth it.
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:18 AM Revit MCP servers do not allow AI write API code - that's unsafe. We have vetted MCP tools that do specific tasks safely and reliably. So you need to check the available MCP tools and see what can be done using them.
Stefano Toparini 8:10 AM does Edmundo using slides? is he not sharing, or is it just me
Anna Monteiro 8:12 AM Hi Stefano, yes, he is using and sharing it. Could you please check the screen in your settings? Are you watching on browser or the Zoom app? Thanks!
William Lundin 8:10 AM How do we disable Autodesk Assistant?
Mark Lemay 8:26 AM I believe you can turn off the UI under View tab > Windows panel
Bruce Boutin 8:10 AM Is the Autodesk Forma MCP server avalible now
Scott Buchanan 8:15 AM No, the Autodesk Fusion & Revit MCP servers are what is available now.
Arjan Hooijer 8:10 AM Will the Autodesk Assistant require tokens to be used?
Scott Buchanan 8:20 AM The Autodesk Assistant in Revit does not require tokens.
Robert Mintzes 8:10 AM Why is the public MCP server only available for Revit 2027 when third parties have been able to develop MCP servers that are compatible with much earlier versions of Revit? I've been able to develop MCP servers for Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity that work with versions as early as Revit 2022 (I haven't tried earlier)
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:21 AM At this point we are focusing on 2027 and upcoming versions.
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:23 AM We are resuing much of functionality between Autodesk Assistant and public MCP servers. Porting all to older versions would take a lot of effort that is currently better used on developing new MCP tools and features. Of course that can change later.
Veerpal Kaur 8:11 AM what abour Cursor IDE
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:16 AM Cursor may be used with the Revit MCP.
Neal Smith 8:11 AM Does the Assistant follow the same rule sets as an enterprise model for sharing information or is there a way to make sure if you use claude enterprise it follows the same data sharing rules?
Scott Buchanan 8:50 AM We would not follow another tenants governance beyond our own.
Blessing Ndlovu 8:11 AM So does this webinar carry any CPD (Continuous Professional Development) Certificate of Attendance? Kind Regards, Mr Blessing Ndlovu _ Newcastle Local Municipality (South Africa)
Douglas Begg 8:12 AM Audio is echoing.
Anna Monteiro 8:12 AM Hi Douglas, is it possible for you to rejoin the session? It usually works. Or maybe you joined on browser and the Zoom app. Thanks, Anna
Derek McGearty 8:12 AM What is the IP/Security considerations of the data?
Mark Lemay 8:29 AM our MCP servers will not share or record any IP. Information will need to be shared through the LLM, so you need to check you arrangement with the LLM provider.
John Sapp 8:13 AM I have Forma Connect, which includes Workato to interact with APIs. Is there anyway to use a MCP server with this?
Marcello Sgambelluri 8:13 AM What are the limitations of Revit independent server
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:26 AM There're multiple public Revit MCP servers created by 3rd parties. They may have lots of tools, but typically they are not well written, reliable or safe.
Bruce Boutin 8:13 AM Can you use the Revit MCP to create BOM?
Scott Buchanan 8:18 AM Yes, you can. You can guide it with what parameters you want it to use or allow it to determine those.
Salmanul Faris 8:14 AM Which Revit versions support MCP servers?
Scott Buchanan 8:27 AM The Autodesk Revit Public MCP Server is for Revit 2027. Independent MCP server can go back many versions.
Molly Shoemaker 8:14 AM Can you modify family type shared parameters from the 2027 Autodesk Assistant?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:28 AM yes. there may be issues if the parameter name is the same as a builtin parameter one.
Zeel Bhatt 8:14 AM Can it do autoamted code complince checking ?
Mark Lemay 8:35 AM it should be possible in some cases.
LLMs can be unreliable, so never trust their output without checking.
Scott Lebow 8:14 AM What MEP testing has been performed with the Autodesk Assistant?
Scott Buchanan 8:34 AM I'm an MEP SME (stronger mech focus), so can only speak to my personal testing. Eric Grey is on our MEP dev team which may have more. I've primarily done querying of data, asked compliance related questions based on the space requirements. Have done various sechedules, or checks of information without having/wanting to create a schedule. Could limit the number of default schedules we store in the templates in the future.
Arjan Hooijer 8:14 AM What could you do regarding the MEP side of Revit with Autodesk Assistant?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:30 AM At this point you can get data about MEP elements and modify their parameters.
Adam S 8:15 AM Do queries work for linked models, or just the native model?
Mark Lemay 8:36 AM at this time only queries against the active document are supported.
Dan O'Shaughnessy 8:15 AM I've only used the assitant with Civil 3D. I noticed it likes to hallucinate and or not give clear concise information when answering my questions about Autodesk Civil 3D. It does great at generating LISP routines, and coding. Whats the process on your end to get it to give more clear concise information about your own product information?
Amin Sadeghy 8:15 AM I created my own MCP with Claude. Is it safe to continue developing it . as It connects claude to revit and give access to claude to revit we wonder is it safe is temrs of security reasons and confidentiality of the projects
Robert Mintzes 8:15 AM How do you guarantee the accuracy of the code checks? Many of these sources might be paywalled online, or is access to these sources included with our licensing?
Scott Buchanan 8:37 AM If the source of the information is behind a paywall, we would not be providing access to that information through any licensing. If you have the information downloaded as a PDF, XLS, CSV, etc., when using the Revit MCP server, that document could be stored as a source of the information for it to check against. I have done that with costing data, etc.
Rachel Oleinick 8:15 AM how does the Assistant compare with the AI companion in UpCodes, where you can be extremely specific about a certain municipality's code requirements and ammendments?
Faye Wang 8:15 AM We use in-house developed Revit add-in heavily in our workflow, how should Revit MCP or Assistant work with add-ins in Revit?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:36 AM Revit MCP servers works via Revit API, so it will not invoke the in-house tools. If you have plugin updaters, they will work the same as usual.
Neal Smith 8:16 AM What would be nice is if it could use the Copy monitor functions from one linked model to another.
Amin Sadeghy 8:16 AM I created my own MCP with Claude. Is it safe to continue developing it . as It connects claude to revit and give access to claude to revit we wonder is it safe is temrs of security reasons and confidentiality of the projects
Aaron James 8:16 AM How good is the memory of the Revit AI? Can you create skills, like in Claude that you can build on?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:36 AM You can use skills with the MCP server.
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:37 AM skills for Autodesk Assitant are in works.
Jon Feaster 8:16 AM Can I make an Agent to execute my queries to the Assistant?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:43 AM Autodesk Assistant or MCP server will not run your Revit API code. They use predefined safe and reliable MCP tools.
catalin postolache 8:16 AM Are we going to get the recording of this Webinar? Misst the beginning a bit :D
Anna Monteiro 8:17 AM Hi! Yes, we will send you an email with the webinar recording. Thank you!
Logan Koster 8:16 AM We've used the assistant to actual move model elements. That proved a mistake as the assistant will revert things from time to time or get things wrong. Are there safeguards a team can set to basically 'don't move elements' ?
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:41 AM Any AI can make mistakes. MCP server is currently read-only so it can't modify the model. I'm not sure if there's UI in Assistant to disable modifications.
Brian Hackett 8:17 AM Can it create schedules in the model with the info derived from such inquiries?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:20 AM You can create schedules with Autodesk Assistant, but not with the MCP server at this time. That is on the roadmap for MCP.
Suraj Kumar 8:17 AM Is there any rate limit associated with this assistant?
Scott Buchanan 8:54 AM We have not officially documented any rate limits, with it being a Tech Preview, it is stated that could occur.
Rachel Oleinick 8:17 AM how does the assistant determine severity of issue? can you edit and set this? what kind of control do you have over how the assistant identifies issues in response to commands?
Darren Edwards 8:17 AM Where does the asisstant pull the standards from to compare the revit building against? The model training - or real world live data? This question has been answered live
Tim Lott 8:18 AM Can the Assistant include linked models and check (i.e. MEP for ASHRAE compliance)?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:22 AM The Assistant doesn't have many MEP-specific tools at this time. But that may be possible using certain queries.
Minh Đinh Hoàng 8:18 AM When the assistant queries the entire model for this data, how is our project's intellectual property and data privacy handled? Is the model data being sent to a public cloud environment?
Scott Buchanan 8:46 AM User prompts, chat history, and relevant model context may be transmitted to our cloud services but the data is not publicly exposed. I would encourage you to visit our Trust Center page.
Asher behar 8:18 AM can you clarify if there is any functional difference in capabilities between the revit integrated assistant vs connected mcp to another ai provider? if there are differences, can you please list them.
Rachel Oleinick 8:18 AM can the saved prompts be shared with other users? where is the library stored?
Robert Losey 8:18 AM I know that this is focused on Revit, but will the Autodesk Assistant beable to query this level of model data in say the Estimating tool on Forma?
Manuel Molna 8:18 AM this is valid to autocad?
Alberto Liesa olmeda 8:18 AM every time you run the AI assistant, are you using tokens? If so, not sure this is going to be the right move for big companies. Deploying this tool to +500 people could become a real problem.
Rodrigo Alzola 8:18 AM The assitant can get information like the position of leader lines? I try it but it tells me I need to make an add in... Oleg Sheydvasser is going to answer this question live.
Christopher Ludwig 8:18 AM Are there usage limits?
Mark Lemay 8:44 AM most LLM plans have limits. so there will be limits when using the MCP public server.
Tim Lott 8:18 AM Are prompts available by multiple users?
Paul Walker 8:19 AM Could this Library be on a network or it is just on the local drive?
Justin Morfopoulos 8:19 AM Can the assistant read from other files when prompted? Or can it only read and interpret information from what is within the model itself?
Rachel Oleinick 8:19 AM when you save a prompt to the library, can you edit it later?
dbecher Becher 8:19 AM Can we setup a prompt for all users at our company or are they only saved locally for each individual?
John Wehmer Wehmer 8:19 AM We can save the prompts, but how do i ensure my team has all of the saved prompts?
marcelo romero 8:19 AM what could be cool for these "batch" prompts is the feature for the assistant to prompt the user back before doing a certain task for user to "Allow" the action. Similar to how Claude Code or GitHub Copilot works
Oleg Sheydvasser 8:53 AM we are working on this. The deletion tool is already asking for confirmation.
Ben Frick 8:19 AM I assume the prompts being saved are local to the specific user, is there a way to save them back to a company database that other users can utilized - maybe through Content Catalog?
Kanish Dwivedi 8:19 AM will this save prompt or save to pdf be available via the Revit MCP server?
Gautham Prasad 8:19 AM Will Autodesk Assistant review linked models? Can I audit an above ceiling space to make sure all MEP systems will fit above it? Oleg Sheydvasser is typing an answer...
Jill Loman Jill Loman 8:19 AM Can the assistant be used with local but link to central models etc. Or is there extra steps to ensure that items are coordinated.
Tarique Mahboob 8:19 AM Isn't it dangourous to share entire bulding data and information with AI?
Mark Lemay 8:51 AM it depends on your arangment with your LLM provider. enterprise plans often commit to not recording your data.
Jacob Cantrell 8:19 AM Is this functionally the same as using an LLM to write a custom function for future use?
Robert Mintzes 8:20 AM Despite saving the prompts, these steps are still generative, are they not? What is the consistency from response to response with the same prompt, or is it 100% deterministic. I'm thinking about, for example, generating model health reports via an AI versus something like a pyRevit tool that was coded with an agentic AI
Matthew Brind'Amour 8:20 AM It looks like a couple others have asked about security. We work on federal projects that require certain IT security protocols (NIST, CMMC, FEDRamp, etc). How does AD Assitant or the use of MCP's comply with these standards? And if it does not, is there a concern that AD Assistant is opening our models to potential security concerns, and can it be disabled or removed from the Revit software to ensure we remain compliant with necessary Federal standards?
Mark Lemay 8:41 AM I believe we have a way to disable Assitant to comply with those standards, but I would need to check with the team to confirm.
Mario Carminatti 8:20 AM Can I save a prompt originally designed for one element and reuse it for another element? Eg a prompt that lists all doors but reutilize it to list all stairs? (As if it was a generic "list all" prompt)
Darren Edwards 8:20 AM How can i prove to my auditors that the advice from the assistant is grounded in truth? Not hallucinating, Citable and accuracy probability of the result?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:30 AM The Assistant's responses may be incomplete or inaccurate. We can't guarantee that it won't hallucinate. You will need to review the results.
Trisha Gupta 8:20 AM can it create revit famlies?
James Daye 8:20 AM How do you check if it's correct ?
Ishani Kumar 8:20 AM can we also do clash detection without getting lagged with this assistant ?
Karanpreet S 8:20 AM Is there any limit on usage? There is issue with LLMs where the hallucinations happen. How does system check or rectify that?
august futryk 8:20 AM Can the Autodesk Assistant make customizations to the graphic column schedule for us?
Adam Desmonde 8:20 AM Can you prompt from your AI of choice, e.g. Claude Co Work? We are increasingly using Claude as a hub for our projects and have developed AI agents which feed and analyse data and would want as far as is reasnoble to 'push' and 'pull' data and instructions from Claude to our connectors.
Megan Bush 8:21 AM What tier is the Autodesk Assistant available on and what are the usage limits/credits of this tool?
Gautham Prasad 8:21 AM How does Autodesk Assistant work with recap data linked into the model? Can it adjust a structural model to fit as built structure?
John Wernert 8:21 AM Does the Autodesk official MCP / Assistant allow for auto-placement of Keynotes? or is it still limited by the API functions
John Peters 8:21 AM I know Revit can export schedules to excel sheets, can Autodesk assistant do the reverse? For example identifying a steel beam in the spreadsheet and finding the correlating beam in Revit and then updating any changed parameters?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:35 AM The Assistant doesn't have the ability to import from a spreadsheet and make changes to the model.
Arjan Hooijer 8:21 AM Does the Autodesk Assistant have access to all dynao functions?
barbara bernardo 8:21 AM Should we provide document references for him to use as a source of information? The idea is to make sure he works from the correct references and doesn't start making up information.
Swayam Mehta 8:21 AM when is all of this available?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:36 AM Autodesk Assistant and the MCP server are both available for Revit 2027.
brittany bidinger 8:21 AM If you ask the AI assistant to make all doors yellow, does it changes the V/G overrides and the projection lines to yellow or create a filter in Revit to turn the doors yellow? How does it decide which way to achieve this command?
Tami Elinav 8:22 AM will it work in english only?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:36 AM This will work with other languages.
Robert Losey 8:22 AM Would the MCP be able to apply a detail to a model, ie if you have a detail calling out a dry wall return at a ceiling, but the retrun isnt modeled, is it possible to have the MCP to add that return to the model based on the detail
Dean Cretsinger 8:22 AM Will the ASSISTANT be able to help with family creation on the fly? E.G. could I ask it to “Create a Marvin Ultimate double-hung window family that is 30” x 60” with 4-over-1 muntins”? Would be able to do that (or something similar)?
Megan Bush 8:22 AM What capabilities of permissions exist around the the Assistant when scaled across multiple users on a design team in a shared central model?
Van Tsao 8:22 AM can you explain the architecture behind it - is the assistant utilized api and parameter to control the production ; or there are built in that can read the drawing like human eye and interpret.
Ryan Murto 8:22 AM Does it layout ducts, receptacles, lights...etc and does it rout conduits and layout the proper hangers? In addition, does it generate schedules and BOMs?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:38 AM We don't have many MEP-specific tools created yet. These are on the roadmap. You can generate schedules with the Assistant, but not yet with the MCP server.
SHAILI PATEL 8:22 AM What is the cost of the REVIT MCP Server. Do we need to download for each AEC licence?
William Lundin 8:23 AM what are the requirements for the MCP Server?
Christopher Alexander 8:23 AM Sorry if you stated this already - but are there some "common and great things to do with MCPs" document available somewhere for a starting point?
Anthony Serrano 8:23 AM Is this available for revit 2025?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:41 AM These are not available for the 2025 release. The Assistant and the MCP server are new for the 2027 release.
Jacob Cantrell 8:23 AM I see that you started your model already prior to prompting the docked LLM. Can you use the LLM to create the initial model or is it more useful after the modeling work is done?
Vruddhi Kothari 8:23 AM Is this available to download for V2026?
Abijith Srikanth 8:24 AM How will it be charged to the enterprises who are in Tokenflex model
Arjan Hooijer 8:24 AM What LLM is communicating with the default Autodesk Assistent? Iirc it works via the Bedrock interface from AWS/
Tarique Mahboob 8:24 AM Do we have to seperately buy the license for MCP server or its comes complementry with Autodesk license?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:42 AM There is no additional license needed. It is included with your Autodesk license.
Robert Mintzes 8:24 AM Oleg, I get that you're focusing on 2027 and upcoming versions, but it's pretty common that usage of the latest year release of Revit does not really happen until a few service pack-level releases have come out, so it's a little baffling that native back-support isn't being built for more widely-used stable versions where there would likely be more usage, which would be helpful for Autodesk's MCP development processes. Is Autodesk open to this or are you solely relying on third-party solutions at this point?
Logan Koster 8:24 AM can we get the slides from this recording? So much great information here
Anna Monteiro 8:25 AM Hi Logan! We will send you an email with the webinar recording. Thank you!
Swayam Mehta 8:25 AM this is a pointless mcp, if it cant modify the model
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:44 AM I appreciate your concern, Swayam. This MCP is our starting point. We are working on write tools which should be available later this year.
Megan Bush 8:25 AM I am interested in many of the questions from this seminar, can the questions and associated answers also be shared after the seminar?
Gowtham Surisetti 8:25 AM Is there a plan to release MCP server for Inventor, Vault?
Christopher Alexander 8:25 AM Will the updates for the MCP server be announced in the updates to Revit (change log) or in the bi-monthly Forma updates, or somewhere/somehow else?
Gage Gibney 8:25 AM Is there a way for the revit assistant to be protected like an enterprise level AI tool?
gad abitbol 8:25 AM all MCP as the same available tools?
Price Electric 8:25 AM Public MCP that can't modify the model..??
Trisha Gupta 8:25 AM Are the external assistants compatible with Revit 2025 and 2026?
Jason Tian 8:26 AM whats the advantage for this one over the pyrevit revit mcp server?
Jason DiFuria 8:26 AM Can it place revit families, can it do drafting view detail work at all does it understand the autodesk families and how they relate to a building
Bruce Boutin 8:26 AM Can you use it with Microsoft Visual Studio Code?
Scott Lebow 8:27 AM what model data is shared with Autodesk when using Autodesk Assistant?
Ehsan Al-Sharqawi 8:27 AM Why it is only limited to Revit 2027? can it will be available for Revit 2026?
Derek Swenson 8:27 AM I would also like to know how to set settings so that security protocols to not share out with the overall database.
Marcel Ludwig 8:27 AM Does Autodesk Assistant in Revit process all data locally on your computer, with no data being sent outside your machine?
Joshua Barbieri 8:28 AM So we have to download locally to the person's PCs so now we need head room for storage yes? So we could be looking at 2 or 3 terabyte drives?
Christopher Ludwig 8:28 AM When will the MCP download be available?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:47 AM The MCP is available now for Revit 2027. It is found here: https://manage.autodesk.com/products.
marcelo romero 8:28 AM I created a Connector tool for Windows, that allows to to add the MCP server to web clients. I could share the code base if someone is interested
John Rolf 8:28 AM The MCP seems anemic at this stage. I'm not seeing any benefit to integrating it yet. The built in assistant is lightyears ahead. Hopefully the MCP capabilities will catch up quickly.
Rodrigo Alzola 8:28 AM would work with claude code?
Andrei Frausto 8:28 AM Antigravity is expensive, and very limited for the monthly free tokens.
Eduard Petriu 8:28 AM As of Revit 27.0.20.10 the Autodesk Assistant is only in "Tech Preview". In this version it cannot modify any content in the Revit project. When will the assistant be available you just showed which actually is capable of creating a schedule in the Revit project?
William Lundin 8:28 AM what are the system requirements to run all of this?
Sven Kierdorf 8:29 AM can you use Super Grok ?
Robert Perdue 8:29 AM does the assistant bill an API somewhere? Or is the increased usage in 2027 covered in increased autodesk licensing prices?
Anthony Serrano 8:29 AM Would this be able to design electrical systems? Layout receptacles, create one line diagrams, place lights, automatically edit families?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:51 AM We do not have many MEP-specific tools at this time, but these are on the roadmap.
Catalina Graure 8:29 AM how secure is the local connection with the MCP server? how can we be sure internal confidential project or template data is not shared with other entities than Autodesk?
Karanpreet S 8:30 AM I know this is about REVIT. Can this MCP feature be used for Inventor?
Swayam Mehta 8:30 AM assuming this is free on start? how long before it becomes a big bill charged every month? How can we manage context window?
Rodrigo Alzola 8:30 AM is possible to run add ins in the mcps?
Christophe Lucas 8:30 AM Can MCP server be installed on a central server or does it has to be installed on the client?
Joshua Barbieri 8:30 AM So your server is the middle man yes - do you capture the informaiton as we have clients with high confidentiality - so how do we ensure this information isn't being captured?
Mark Lemay 8:43 AM the Autodesk MCP server does not capture model data, it only passes it between programs on your computer.
Kimberly Erskine 8:31 AM Is the Autodesk Assistant able to verify elements placement and if there are issues with the placement? For example Prompt: Review the model and verify if there are any systems or structural items within 5' of the interior dimensions of all windows?
Kal Houhou 8:31 AM My firm banned Claude (online and Desktop) you shouldnt need to use Anthropic with Revit. If you are using Bedrock from AWS you dont need it. What is your proposed alternative?
Tami Elinav 8:31 AM does the Asistant have a token restriction?
Christopher Alexander 8:31 AM At least we know what will go on Edmundo's headstone... "....on Desktop" ;)
Emily Larsen 8:32 AM You're going too fast to really take a look at the data you're bringing up
Emilio Barbero 8:32 AM Who owns the data produced using claude on a model?
Alan DeRossett 8:32 AM what type of server software in office is recommended we only have linux now. our AI /ML are all air gapped so no direct to Claude or Google,microsoft etc. useing Qwen 3,5 now so no cost its open sourced & air gapped but like a Hybrid model for our larger digital twins Running 1,000 simulations on a local, headless Unity instance is the way we "bootstrap" a digital twin enviromental or city model now.
hassan marji 8:33 AM are you going to send us the recording please?
Michael DeLouker 8:33 AM Can this be used to export Excel/CSV files via Claude?
Eric Grey | Autodesk 8:54 AM Yes, you can export to CSV.
Tuyen Tram 8:33 AM Would you recommend an LLM over another? Claude, Codex, or Google Antigravity?
Andrea Collins 8:33 AM can the assistant analyze schedules, in terms of finding duplicate GUIDs or other parameters applied?
Emily Larsen 8:33 AM Are those manufacturers that were brought up influenced by Sponsored results?
Prateek Chitnis 8:33 AM Good bye gaslighting unless its done by AI lol, we have all the information at our fingertips now!
Jake Lewellen 8:34 AM Is Fusion MCP currently available to Fusion Manufacturing users or only Design users?
Ehsan Al-Sharqawi 8:34 AM How Claude calculated the cost estimation, based on what?
Dmitri Belan 8:34 AM Can the Assistant understand requests written in languages other than English?
Steven DeGrow 8:34 AM Will there be a MCP Server for Civil 3D coming soon?
Barrett Eastwood 8:34 AM I created a product like this - available at www.BIMmonkey.ai.
It simplifies all he is describing to couple Claude and Revit - but allows you to use Claude, or your own AWS server for file storage and even at an enterprise level your own firm LLM.
Jon Feaster 8:35 AM I think I can understand how I can utilize Agents now.
Derrick Tubbs 8:35 AM Does the Public Server have the ability to query Linked Revit models?
luis lanca 8:35 AM being the LLM a »black box» how do you confirme/ensure the data you get from the analysis is correct?
Henry Yang 8:35 AM Does the Claude, Codex, Antigravity require the permission to access some folders in the system (Egnyte, etc)? What should we pay attention from the perspective of security?
Will North 8:35 AM How is any of this gated from AI hallucination/how do we know that any of this generated content is correct?
Armadillo Largo 8:35 AM How can we make sure that any result that comes from the AI is correct and it is not hallucinating?
Mark Lemay 8:47 AM you should review all output. sometimes you can set it up with a way to check itself, but that is very task specific.
Darren Edwards 8:35 AM A hallucination disclaimer is needed here, this is an LLM best guess, and asking the exact same question or changing the model will give different results.
John Rolf 8:35 AM Does heavy utilization of the MCP on workshared models on LAN affect worksharing performance?
Rachel Oleinick 8:35 AM are there certain LLMs that seem to perform different functions better than others in this MCP server connection?
Jon Feaster 8:35 AM Can this work for Revit 2025?
Aaron Schreiber 8:35 AM Can we select local codes or specialized codes to apply to the project and run against the reports?
Lawrence Vivar 8:35 AM This workflow works in revit 2026 only correct?
Robert Perdue 8:35 AM Why is architecture the only trade supported? MCP to revit has been in open source for a while. You'd think ADSK would have more content supported upon launch, considering the marketshare they have
Alan DeRossett 8:36 AM We make our own tokens on a offline side chain for proof of production SDA to keep sustainability scores for carbon negative companies tokens must be verifed before our AI hybrid uses the data.
fsdfdfs sdfsdG 8:36 AM If we can't install Claude Desktop, how do we use it with Copilot? Do we need a special version?
catalin postolache 8:36 AM Looks great on Architecture, but how good does it work for MEP? We often have Chaos in the Data and a bit of structure and sorting out would be great.
Jake Lewellen 8:36 AM 2. Can Fusion MCP create and modify CAM operations?
Yongqin Zhao 8:36 AM in this example of ADA compliance, which standard is it comparing against? is the standard included with Revit 2027, or using the LLM's internal knowledge? can we config our own standard(s) for various tasks, in both Revit 2027 (MCP server) and MCP client/host?
Catalina Graure 8:36 AM can it dimension properly based on local regulations? keeping a clean and neat aesthetic?
Luís Raposo 8:36 AM Does this will work well with the free copilot for the M360?
Beau Martinez 8:36 AM How does Autodesk Assistant deal with AI hallucinations?
Samuel Gonzalez 8:37 AM Will any of these MCP apps computes accessibility requirements based on the California Buidling Codes, or any other codes that adapts to ADA compliance?
Jake Lewellen 8:37 AM 5. Can Fusion MCP read tooling libraries and manufacturing templates?
Martin Stewart 8:37 AM Did Edmundo supply the LLM with the ADA, Codes documents? Or did LLM already have access publically?
Malasia Cherry 8:37 AM Will Nonica be discussed?
Asher behar 8:37 AM do u need to have revit open simultaniously to access the mcp via claude or other chat interface? how are u able to differentiate projects? is this tied specifically to chat or is there added function a more advanced harnass like claude code or codex.
additionally is the mcp agnostic to the harness used, could a hermes/openclaw system integrate as well or is autodesk locking this to the nonopensource crowd
Thennarasan selvaraj 8:37 AM How did you connect antigravity
Mary Vandenbosch 8:38 AM What are the abilities of the autodesk assitant or MCP to query and manage data from a linked Revit file or CAD file? For example could it read walls from a linked CAD and create walls in Revit and then tag those rooms.
Joshua Barbieri 8:38 AM When does Ai start to break the model or lock it up, as you given it too many prompts?
Thennarasan selvaraj 8:38 AM we need to choose one folder before any prompt how did you ?
Rina Sahay 8:39 AM How do you select Claude or Gemini? Is it a button / toolbar, or is it installed only one at a time?
Spencer Montgomery 8:39 AM Can Grok Build connect to the Revit MCP?
Jason DiFuria 8:39 AM its actually called chatgpt now not codex
Luís Raposo 8:39 AM How does connecting any of the mainstream LLMs compares with using the Autodesk AI?
John Stolarski 8:39 AM Is it possible to use Perplexity with MCP?
Diana POPOVA 8:39 AM How can I obtain a record of this webinar?
Anna Monteiro 8:40 AM Hi Diana! We will send you an email with the webinar recording. Thank you!
Mary Vandenbosch 8:39 AM Does Autodesk Assistant help with clash detection?
Swayam Mehta 8:39 AM the codex local app does not exist anymore, it got replaced with chatgpt work in the new chatgpt app?
Marius Coman 8:40 AM can this be used to build a workflow for validating COBie data? any high level suggestion for how to prompt Claude?
Joshua Barbieri 8:40 AM You talk about Ai and how does the cloud models configure in this situation, we are asking for a lot now for bandwidth and cloud connections ai - at what point does your PC need tons of RAM?
Stacy Witschford 8:40 AM If it can incorporate ROM costs for items like windows and doors, can it also provide FPAs (Florida Product Approvals) or NOAs?
Christopher Ludwig 8:40 AM I don't use the mcp and I already have claude run commands and automate things headlessly, does this bring any additional value?
Trajche Stojanov 8:41 AM In your opinion and as of July 2026, which LLM gave you best results, speed and reliability when using them with Revit
Eric Blackburn 8:41 AM Does this help bridge the gap between design and construction? I'm still seeing AE in their silo and Contractors in another. Detailed fabrication models bear little resemblance to design models.
Cory Pierce 8:42 AM Is he going to cover CoPilot later?
fsdfdfs sdfsdG 8:42 AM We can do , different task if we use autodesk assitant or MCP server whit claude?
Henry Yang 8:42 AM When we operate the AI in the model, how to protect the sentive info like Intellectual Property, client info, etc.?
Sankar 8:42 AM How internally it's working with the model. accessing the model elements and performance of accessing and modifications the model. will it support with own local model with ollama
Derrick Giles 8:42 AM CAN YOU SAY SOMEHTING ABOUT THE PYREVIT MCP PLEASE?
Alan DeRossett 8:43 AM should we fork a independent MCp server on Github?
Xavier Martinez 8:43 AM is there something similar with Civil 3D? thanks.
Joshua Barbieri 8:43 AM You still don't give much confidence that the Autodesk server isn't capturing our information, is there going to be a safe harbor statement that Autodesk won't harvest?
Vruddhi Kothari 8:43 AM How would you rate the accuracy and reliability?
Colton Chehowy 8:43 AM how well is this integrated into the pyRevit interface? can we use the AI assistant to fully create our own pyRevit tools?
Zainab Vajahath 8:43 AM Will we be getting access to the recording of this webinar?
Anna Monteiro 8:47 AM Hi Zanaib! Yes, we will send you an email with the webinar recording in a couple of days. Thanks!
Martin Stewart 8:43 AM Is pyRevit specific to release year? pyRevit 2027?
Faye Wang 8:43 AM How can a Revit add-in expose it's capabilities to Revit Assistant? E.g. there are automated tasks that can be invoked via MCP, but how it works with Revit Assistant is unclear.
Luís Raposo 8:44 AM from pi revit or any other tool, can we bring any AI to our projects on e.g. 2024 version?
Luis Beltran 8:44 AM How can all this be applicable to structural revit?
Sheik Uduman 8:45 AM How to configure Autodesk MCP for Microsoft copilot ?
Joshua Barbieri 8:45 AM Thank you, Mark - now that it passes informaiton is it using Amazon Web Services? If that goes down as it has in the past then what?
Mark Bauer 8:45 AM When will Autodesk start charging extra for this, like they make you pay a separate fee (in spite of the already outrageous subscription cost) for Forma Design Collaboration
Vruddhi Kothari 8:45 AM Are these prompts viewed by all clients in network? Are there records available of these responses?
Ried Warma 8:45 AM Calling back to some previous stuff -when you use Autodesk Assistant to get details from the models is there any independent, non-AI review to ensure accuracy? How can we guarantee accuracy if not, aside from manual review?
Alan DeRossett 8:45 AM thanks forked it https://github.com/ADD12/pyRevit
Colton Chehowy 8:46 AM using MCP with copilot may not be the best as you would want to keep your company's Revit and project information on a private network/server
Kyle McKinney 8:46 AM Can all this AI stuff create a family that is actually workable? I am tired of getting lighting fixtures that will not host on a link, but links to walls. We all link in models in the MEP world, so we need that figured out.
Barrett Eastwood 8:46 AM Do you have any experience with using others third parties? Like www.BIMmonkey.ai?
They have a 30day free trial. Easy to install and get going. Can be installed in version 2024-2027.
No pyrevit needed. I believe the future of revit is task communication not button clicking.
John Peters 8:46 AM Are similar functions being developed for other Autodesk programs?
Christopher Ludwig 8:46 AM pyrevit is great!
Luis Rivera 8:46 AM How far we are today, from modelling entirely with natural languege, in your opinion????
YUCHEN XIANG 8:47 AM Some studio leaders in our office cannot attend this webinar due to conflict. Is this recording going to be distributed?
Kyle McKinney 8:48 AM Have we figured out how to have Revit size the wire sizes for electrical and you be able to format those to a workable format?
Wenjie Hu 8:48 AM Does the accuracy of the result rely on the accuracy of the Revit Model. If the Revit Model has to be as close as to a best practice?
Jill Loman Jill Loman 8:48 AM I'm guessing you could have both Claude and the Autodesk assistant working at the same time?
Jeremy Larsen 8:48 AM How is this determining which parameters to use for compliance checks? Just because it is checking certain parameters doesn't mean that those parameters are being used correctly in a family that has been built. Garbage in produces garbage out. Are people not going to rely on bad data in this way if we don't understand what parameters are being used in these calls?
Sheik Uduman 8:48 AM Can I expect Autodesk Assistant to allow to configure custom MCP ? Option to choose my prefer LLM ?
Joshua Barbieri 8:48 AM The demonstrations are great, but I need to know how does the PC performance get impacted, as I can see someone's computer crashing because they have Photoshop, Outlook, Enscape, Revit, Claudio, and MCP and much more so we need to know the specifications you expect out of a PC to run this and all other programs can you give us a minimum of specs?
Andrew Krippner 8:48 AM I don’t think execute revit code writing and executing functions on the fly is something that should be considered advantageous. Seems more like something dangerous
Christopher Ludwig 8:49 AM Have you noticed certain LLM's doing a better job and geometry functions vs data extraction?
LAKSHYA Arora 8:49 AM I missed the begining part a bit, is this chat or cowork that is being used at the moment?
Jeff Webb 8:49 AM How do we configure to use with Microsoft CoPilot since it doesnt have a desktop MCP component?
Armadillo Largo 8:49 AM I see, thanks.
Mark Bauer 8:49 AM How do you troubleshoot a change that that some user effected using AI on model to fix it , especially if they leave the company. Do people need to make sure they sync more often so you can roll a version (or several) back?
Jan Partsch 8:50 AM Is there an "undo" button in Revit 2027 for Model Changes made through Autodesk Assistent and/or other Hosts?
Beau Martinez 8:50 AM How often does the Assistant have issues with AI hallucinations?
Antonio Giordano 8:51 AM Interesting, but how much token Claude consume for an operation like the fixing of the model currently displayed? The % of usage in the Claude settings I mean
barbara bernardo 8:51 AM how works everything in term's of security?
Mary Vandenbosch 8:51 AM Will the questions and answers be posted?
Andrew Allmark 8:51 AM He was in full flow, why stop him
Cory Pierce 8:52 AM Possibly CoPilot real quick?
Diana Franco 8:52 AM Anna - Please send the recording of the webinar recording to diana.franco@som.com.
Thank you!
William Tapler 8:52 AM Can this also run a check and fix any client standards?
Joshua Barbieri 8:52 AM Can we get PC configurations needed to run this all?
Luke Lancaster 8:52 AM I have heard that AI prompts degrade over time. Is there a risk that it starts to hallucinate and produce inaccurate information the longer you use it?
Derek McGearty 8:52 AM If you are connecting to the MCP Via another LLM tool (IE Claude) where does the usage costs go. Am I using Claude tokens for example or is it an Isolated use model?
Eric Juarez 8:52 AM So this is great thank you - but i'm interested in taking it to the next level and want to know more about Manager Dashboards. We have many ACC Forma Projects and i have gone down a rabbit hole creating a VDC Node-Dashboard BUT im looking for help in getting an environment where it can be accessed by my team. Is their a way ACC can act as a server to house my web/app?
Chris Fortin 8:52 AM Edmundo you are a great resource, thanks for sharing!
Jorge Aponte 8:53 AM copy of today's recording
Luís Raposo 8:53 AM will this be available for the LT licenses?
Amin Sadeghy 8:53 AM I created my own MCP with Claude. Is it safe to continue developing it . as It connects claude to revit and give access to claude to revit we wonder is it safe is temrs of security reasons and confidentiality of the projects
Jordan Bull 8:53 AM Could you use it to correct functions that are broken; for example Copy Monitor cannot copy instance parameters, so copied linear lights from the architect do not transfer to copied elements. Could it create a correction, a plugin, or only a one time matching of instance parameters?
Amin Sadeghy 8:53 AM I created my own MCP with Claude. Is it safe to continue developing it . as It connects claude to revit and give access to claude to revit we wonder is it safe is temrs of security reasons and confidentiality of the projects
Barney Challen 8:53 AM no question, excellent intro thanks Edmunto!
Yin Wu 8:53 AM Can it diagnose visibility issues and identify what setting (or the tier of settings) governs certain visibility? (Especially in a linked model scenario)
Edgar nuno 8:53 AM Hello where can we find the vide of the webinar?
Jonathan Bunch 8:54 AM Thanks for a great presentation, everyone!
DIMITRIOS PLOUMPIS 8:54 AM I use the free version of fusion! It will be included the ai plugin?
Alexander Maier 8:54 AM Perfect, Thank you
Thennarasan selvaraj 8:54 AM How did you connect antigravity with revit
can you answer please
LAKSHYA Arora 8:54 AM I missed the begining part a bit, was this chat or cowork that was being used with Claude to make changes?
Jon Feaster 8:54 AM In manage.autodesk.com => Revit => Extensions How do I find the installer?
Santiago Rivera Utrilla 8:54 AM Excellent, Edmundo, the best explained Revit MCP Servers LLMs connections I've attended. Great!!!!
MOHAMMED NAVEED AHMED 8:54 AM thanks a lot for this webinar!
Todd Harper 8:54 AM When using the Independent server or Claude/Antigravity/Codex can you actually audit the modelo to reduce file size. Will any of these remove duplicate families, nested images, duplicate images, unused or nested families, etc.
Jaime Andrews 8:54 AM ¿can we use Copilot? is the only AI allowed on the company.
Amin Sadeghy 8:54 AM talk about security and confidentiality please
Megan Bush 8:54 AM Can these questions and answers be shared with us afterwards?
Barrett Eastwood 8:54 AM How does Autodesk address security - are models shared
Eduard Petriu 8:54 AM Could you send out the download link for the Revit MCP tech preview?
John Peters 8:54 AM Will recording of webinar include the Q&A?
senthil kumar srinivasan 8:54 AM where can we download the Revit 2027 for our skill development?
Romeo Carino 8:54 AM Does Autocad latest version has AI-Assisted features?
Will Embry 8:54 AM We've been playing with OS revit-mcp for about a year. Ready to get out of the chat and make some larger leaps.
Hugh Lawrence 8:54 AM Are the actions by the AI Assistant auto creating it's own custom filters to highlight elements within the model in a particular view? If yes, does it update View Templates automatically too? Concerned that this may be something that will affect other views. The MCP seems to decide for itself on how to perform certain tasks if not explained in enough detail by the user. Potential risk?
Marta Top 8:54 AM How this will work with Copilot?
Jan Partsch 8:55 AM Will there be possibilities to use other Hosts in future apart from Claude, Codex, Copilot, Antigravity, especially of interest are deployed inhouse Hosts such as "Azure Foundry"
Victor Meza 8:55 AM Do you have examples of how it can assist MEP?
