Share portions of your model with other collaborators so they can complete their work without the need to share your entire model.
Revit Connector (Connector) allows you to create and share Data Exchanges and consume Data Exchanges that are created and shared by other Autodesk and non-Autodesk applications including custom enterprise applications, such as Rhino, Inventor, Grasshopper and Power Automate. You can share granular level of your design data in a neutral format with different stakeholders, projects, and applications to create interoperable and collaborative workflows.
A Data Exchange represents a subset of your design stored in a neutral format in the cloud. It allows you to access the relevant geometry and properties of your model, either as a whole or at a granular level, so that you can create custom workflows. You can use a Data Exchange to build interoperable workflows spanning across organizations, applications, and systems to share the right data with the right stakeholders in the right context. Data Exchanges provide control over the accessibility of data without exposing your source model files. Data Exchanges can also facilitate continuous validation and version control of model objects.
In a sample business scenario, let us consider two customers who are using Revit and Rhino applications. These customers have a need to align important geometry that are being designed in those applications. This task of coordinating the location of important geometries can be completed by using a Data Exchange. When the author of the Rhino model makes changes to the design, they share the latest updates via a Data Exchange. The latest cloud based data exchange can then be used downstream so that customers using Revit can efficiently receive updates to just the objects that changed. Receiving these delta updates reduces latency compared to the traditional file-based reference workflows, where the entire file is transferred between cloud and desktop systems.
You can load Data Exchanges in Autodesk Inventor (2023 or later), Revit (23.0.2 or later), and Rhino 7 using our connectors. You can generate notifications, spreadsheets, and dashboards using the Data Exchange Power Automate Connector, or use Autodesk Platform Services Data Exchange API (Beta).
The Revit Connector is subject to theAutodesk Terms of Use and Autodesk Privacy Policy.
Data Exchanges are not files.
They are hosted in the Autodesk Docs to allow collaboration among team members across various disciplines. They also allow your app to use services, download data from the broader Autodesk Platform Services ecosystem, and exchange information using various tools such as 3D applications, spreadsheet processors, and databases.
The Data Exchange files in the Autodesk Docs or BIM360 serve only as references and do not contain any data. They point to the Data Exchange information that is stored at a granular level.
Yes. It is necessary to uninstall the previous version before installing the new version.
