Revit to Grasshopper and back
I’m working on a project to automate certain model configuration workflows in Revit.
For testing, I used an AI tool called AEC Model Bridge from GitHub. It can do a decent job controlling and interacting with the Revit model, but I don’t want to depend on AI every time I need to run the workflow.
Recently, I also started testing Rhino.Inside.Revit with Grasshopper, hoping to make the workflow more parametric and controllable.
The main issue I’m facing is getting the edited geometry back into Revit without turning it into dumb geometry, losing Revit data, or breaking the original model structure.
Has anyone tried a similar workflow before?
For example:
Revit model/group → Rhino.Inside.Revit/Grasshopper → parametric editing → back to Revit with proper data, categories, parameters, and relationships preserved.
Any advice, best practices, or warnings would be appreciated.
I built an open source MCP bridge that lets AI tools work inside Revit. Looking for BIM people to tear it apart.
I’ve been working on an open source project called AEC Model Bridge.
I wanted to see what happens when an AI client can actually talk to a live Revit session through a controlled local bridge.
It connects MCP clients like Claude Desktop, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom agents to Revit.
I’m looking for honest feedback from BIM managers, coordinators, Revit API people, Dynamo users, and anyone who has been burned by “AI for BIM” hype.
What would you test first?
And more importantly:
what would you absolutely not allow an AI agent to do inside Revit?

between models, data, drawings, parameters, views, exports, and automation.
I am looking for testers from the AEC world:
BIM engineers
Computational designers
Revit users
Grasshopper users
Automation engineers
Digital construction teams
I need people to test it, break it, and tell me what is missing.

If you care about the future of AI in AEC, I would really value your feedback.
