Import Family via CAD
Built a Revit tool that reads CAD geometry and automatically places the corresponding Revit families at the correct positions, eliminating manual placement from CAD references.
A CAD-to-Revit placement utility for the Cracknell team that turns CAD block positions into properly placed Revit families in one step.
This project was developed during my employment at Cracknell. Images and context are owned by Cracknell. Source code is proprietary and not available. Included here for portfolio purposes only.
Product Need
Placing Revit families manually based on CAD drawings was slow and error-prone, especially on large landscape projects with many repeated elements.
Experience Built
Developed a tool that reads CAD geometry or block references and uses their positions to automatically place the matching Revit family instances in the model.
Portfolio Value
Significantly reduced family placement time and improved positional accuracy when working from CAD source drawings.
Feature Highlights
Reads CAD geometry for placement positions
Automatically places Revit family instances
Handles repeated elements across large drawings
Reduces manual placement steps
Improves positional accuracy from CAD source
