Start with a Finch-Linked Revit Model Before generating plans: * Open a **Revit model** that contains: * A corridor * Unit boundaries * Cores * These elements can be downloaded directly from **Finch or modelled in native Revit families.** *** ### 2. Launch the Finch Plugin From your Revit toolbar: * Open the **Finch plugin** * Click **Generate** to begin the planning process *** ### 3. Define the Target Unit The plugin will prompt you in the bottom-left corner of Revit: > 🖱️ “Pick a point inside the room you want to generate a plan” * Click anywhere **inside a unit** to select it * Then you'll be prompted to: > 🚪 “Pick one or more walls where you would want the entrance door” * Click the wall(s) where entrances should be placed * Click **Finish** when done *** ### 4. Browse Plan Options Once you’ve selected the unit and entry points: * A **plan selection window** will open Based on your subscription, different libraries will appear: #### Enterprise Users * First: Your **organization’s plans** (studio data set) * Below: **Finch AI-generated plans** #### Basic Users * Only your **personal plan library** will appear All options shown will auto-adjust to your unit shape and entry point. *** ### 5. Filter & Choose Your Layout Just like in the Finch browser: * Use filters: * **Bedrooms** * **Bathrooms** * Each plan displays a **score percentage** (e.g., 97%) * The score reflects how well the layout fits your unit Select a layout with a high score\ Optionally, preview several before finalizing *** ### 6. Finalize and Import the Plan Once you’re satisfied: * Click **Done** to import the plan directly into your Revit model What’s imported: * Wall families * Door families * Room separators * Room tags (you can customize tag styles and area settings) All elements are editable and compatible with standard Revit workflows—no redrawing required. *** ### 7. Visualize in 3D Jump to a **3D view** in Revit to inspect the imported plan: * Confirm geometry * Check openings and furniture layout * Validate that **room tags and separators** are correct Everything is grouped neatly for easy selection and future edits. *** ### Summary You’ve learned how to: * Use the Finch plugin inside Revit to generate unit plans * Choose entrance walls and generate intelligent layouts * Filter and evaluate plans using score metrics * Import ready-to-edit layouts with full Revit families and room tags --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.finch3d.com/courses/finch-101-1/finch-101-generating-floor-plans-in-revit.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
