get started in Revit.

Install the plugin

1. Open Downloads in the Arkyv app and choose the Revit installer. Check the application versions and operating system listed for it.
2. Close Revit, run the installer, and follow its prompts.
3. Reopen Revit, open your model, and open the Arkyv panel. Sign in with your Arkyv account.

Ask about the open model

1. Select the relevant Arkyv project if the task needs project files or regulations.
2. Start a chat in the Revit panel. Describe the elements or geometry to inspect and the information you want back.
3. Check the reported result in your model before asking for changes.

Try asking

List the doors with an empty fire rating. Include their element IDs and types. Do not change anything yet.

Review and apply changes

Name the scope of the change: selected elements, a particular layer, a category, or the whole model. Include the new values or the rule to follow.

1. Review the plan when Arkyv presents one. Ask for adjustments in chat if the scope is wrong.
2. When an approval request appears, read the change summary before choosing Approve or Reject.
3. Inspect the result in your model. If a Revert action is offered for that operation, use it to request a reversal and check the result.

If Arkyv cannot reach the model

If the issue continues, send the team your Revit version, plugin version, and the message shown in the panel.

1. Check that Revit has a model open and that you are using its Arkyv panel.
2. Check that you are signed in to the intended workspace.
3. Install the current plugin from Downloads, then restart the design application.
