Product Overview

Automate AutoCAD to Revit Model Conversion.

Smart BIM Automation is a BIM automation utility developed using C# and Dynamo to convert 2D AutoCAD drawings into 3D Revit models. The solution is designed to help architects, designers, and BIM professionals reduce repetitive modeling tasks and streamline the conversion of existing CAD drawings into Revit environments.

The utility enables users to import DWG files containing 2D architectural plans and automatically detect and process predefined architectural layers. Layers such as Wall, Window, Door, Roof, Floor, Railing, and other supported elements can be mapped to their corresponding Revit components.

By combining C# development, Autodesk APIs, and Dynamo-based automation, Smart BIM Automation provides a structured workflow for extracting drawing information and generating corresponding Revit elements from 2D AutoCAD data.

Product Features

Built for

Automate the conversion of architectural AutoCAD drawings into Revit elements using C#, Dynamo, and layer-based data extraction.

C# Based Development

Built using C# to support structured BIM automation workflows and integration with the Autodesk Revit environment.

Dynamo Integration

Use Dynamo-based automation to support rule-driven processing and generation of Revit elements from extracted CAD information.

AutoCAD DWG Import

Import 2D AutoCAD DWG drawings containing architectural plans as the starting point for the automated BIM conversion workflow.

Layer-Based Data Extraction

Extract relevant drawing information by identifying predefined AutoCAD layers and using their contents as inputs for Revit element generation.

Wall Layer Processing

Process supported wall layers from AutoCAD drawings and use the extracted information for corresponding Revit wall generation.

Window Layer Processing

Identify and process supported window layers to assist in generating corresponding Revit window elements from 2D CAD information.

Door Layer Processing

Process predefined door layers from imported DWG files and map the extracted information to corresponding Revit door elements.

Roof & Floor Layer Processing

Process supported roof and floor layers from architectural CAD drawings to support automated generation of corresponding Revit elements.

Railing Layer Processing

Identify supported railing information from predefined CAD layers and use it as input for automated Revit railing generation.

Revit Element Mapping
