Autodesk Model Checker for Revit

free (included with licensed Revit) Engineer & Analyze

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.

Agent-hostile
3.0 /5 composite score
Free and Revit-native, but code-compliance checking requires authoring your own ICC/NFPA checksets via the Configurator -- no building-code checksets ship out of the box (only institutional BIM standards). As of Revit 2026 the API is deprecated, limiting automation to the UI. Worth evaluating for teams willing to invest in custom checkset authoring; otherwise look at dedicated tools like Kestrel Labs or UpCodes for out-of-the-box code checking.
