3.2/5

Autodesk Model Checker for Revit

Free Revit add-in that validates BIM models against user-authored or institutional rule-based checksets, flagging non-compliant elements with direct in-model navigation. Part of the Autodesk Interoperability Tools for Revit suite. Seven pre-built checksets ship with the tool -- all are institutional BIM standards (Ohio State, Penn State, USACE, VA, etc.), NOT ICC/NFPA building-code rules; building-code checking requires authoring custom checksets via the companion Model Checker Configurator. As of Revit 2026 (v10.0), the Model Checker API is formally deprecated; v9.2 (Revit 2022-2025) retains API access. FREE for any licensed Revit user.
