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 three panels:
