Revit

1. Create your first project in Finch

• Navigate to the Projects page on the web-app and select Create New. Give your project a name, and hit OK.

2. Load the project into Revit

• Switch over to Revit and open the Finch plug-in, and select your new project and variant from the drop-down menus under the Project tab.

3. Create a building mass

• Create a Revit mass

Finch accepts mass families. Objects that are in the same mass will be boolean unioned upon upload. Check the Massing tab in the Finch plug-in to see how many Finch valid masses you have in your file.

4. Add grid lines (optional)

• In the Finch plug-in, add gridlines using the Revit grid tool.

You can snap to gridlines while editing or while generating around a custom core.

When generating a floor plate, slide the Grid Lines weight fully to the right to prioritize it.

5. Upload

• In the Finch plug-in, select Massing.

• Check Active in view to only upload geometry that is visible in the current view.

• Select Upload Massing.

• The plug-in will display Uploading Mass Finished once the mass has been uploaded.

If you want to learn how to upload multiple masses, you can read our guide on it here: https://docs.finch3d.com/first-steps/upload-your-first-building-revit/all-about-revit
