Alpha Revit Add-In for exporting and configuring 3D models

Revit Add-In

The Alpha Revit Add-In connects Autodesk Revit to the Alpha platform, allowing you to export 3D models, map Revit types to Alpha product types, and manage type coverage directly from within Revit.

Ribbon Overview

After installation, the add-in creates an Alpha tab in the Revit ribbon with four panels:

Preferences Panel

Export Panel

ButtonDescription

Export Visible in ViewSame as Export Selected Groups, but sources every model group visible in the active 3D view instead of your selection
Export As Project VariantsExport selected groups as project-specific concept overrides or variant facade models, auto-routed by the target project's model catalogue

Configure Panel

ButtonDescription
