Download the CivilAxis Connector
A small program that runs on your computer and lets CivilAxis read the Revit model you have open. Your model never leaves your machine - only the answers to what you ask do.
Three applications now: Revit, Excel and AutoCAD. One install covers all of them - the connector reads whichever you have open.
Excel - ask about the workbook you have open, find broken cells (#REF!, #DIV/0!), trace where a number comes from, and format engineering symbols without the Ctrl+1 dance. Formatting shows you a preview and waits for you to approve it.
AutoCAD - ask about the drawing you have open: layers and what is on them, blocks and how often they are inserted, and what you have selected.
Revit is unchanged: 2021 to 2026, read-only.
Install: unzip anywhere and run install.cmd. No administrator rights. Your browser opens on the Connect page - press Connect and you are done.
Remove: run uninstall.cmd from the same folder.
Tested against a live Revit 2024 session, a real Excel workbook and a real AutoCAD 2026 drawing. Revit 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026 are built and signed but not yet verified on a running Revit.

Setting it up
- Unzip the file anywhere, then run install.cmd. It installs into your own user folder and starts straight away.
- A pairing code appears. Follow the link it shows to approve this computer on your account.
- Start Revit and open a model. Come back to the Revit assistant and it will see the file you have open.
Revit will ask about the publisher once
This build is not signed with a purchased certificate yet, so the first time Revit loads it you will be asked whether to trust it. Choose Always Load and it will not ask again.
What it can reach
It reads only the Revit files you have open, and only while Revit is running. It cannot change your model - this version is read-only. You can unlink the computer, or uninstall it, at any time.
