Turn Repetitive CAD Work into
Trusted, Repeatable Automation
Audit 2,000 doors in seconds. Label every corridor station in minutes. CRAFT is a Revit and Civil 3D add-in that runs proven automations locally, with a full preview before anything changes.
A local add-in for Autodesk Revit 2024+ and Civil 3D 2024+. No cloud execution. Your data stays on your machine.
Currently in private early access. We onboard approved teams directly with the engineering team. Pricing will be published before general availability.
3 hrs/week
saved on corridor station labeling by a civil engineering team
2,000+ doors
audited in seconds instead of a full day of manual checking

Without CRAFT
Open Dynamo. Find the script someone saved to the shared drive last year. Hope it still works. Run it. Discover it broke three things. Spend an hour fixing it. Pray nobody else is using a different version.
With CRAFT
Select 47 doors. The panel shows the audit your team ran 142 times. Preview exactly what it will do. Click Run. Done in 40 seconds. Same result every time.
How CRAFT works
Select something in your model. Pick a proven action. Preview and run — in seconds, not hours.
Find the right action instantly
Select doors, a corridor, or a layer set in your model. CRAFT immediately suggests the automations your team already trusts for that selection — no searching, no guessing, no rebuilding what someone already built.
See what it will do before it runs
Every action shows a full safety preview: what it reads, what it changes, whether anything leaves your machine. In seconds, not after an hour of testing.
Run it locally — same result every time
Approve the preview and CRAFT runs the automation inside your CAD host. Same inputs, same outputs, every time. No cloud execution. Your data stays on your machine.
The Actions panel, right inside your CAD host
Select 47 doors in Revit. The panel immediately suggests the audits and exports your team has already run 142 times. Click one; preview exactly what it will change; run it locally.
Reuse-first by design. CRAFT looks for an automation your team already trusts before it ever asks you to build a new one.
What You Can Automate
Real tasks your team runs every week — now reviewable, repeatable, and shareable.
Revit
Audit 2,000 Doors for Missing Fire Ratings
Scan every Door element in the model. Flag missing or invalid FireRating values. Export a compliance report to CSV. Read-only — no model changes.
Manually: a full day. With CRAFT: under a minute.
Civil 3D
Check Every Layer Name Against Your Standard
Validate all layer names against your firm’s naming convention. List non-compliant layers with suggested corrections. No objects modified.
Manually: hours of cross-referencing. With CRAFT: seconds.
Revit
Propagate Room Data from CSV to 500 Elements
Read a CSV of room parameters. Match by room number. Update Name, Department, and Occupancy across all matched rooms. Full preview before execution.
Manually: half a day of copy-paste. With CRAFT: minutes.
See all examples with inputs, outputs, and what the safety preview checks.
Beyond Running: Reuse and Share
CRAFT is not just a script runner. It’s how your team stops rebuilding the same automation.
Reuse before rebuild
CRAFT checks your team’s library before creating anything new. If someone already built what you need, you can run it immediately. The fastest automation is the one your team already paid for once.
Build new with a guided form
When nothing in the library fits, a guided form walks you through creating a new automation — no code required. CRAFT checks for duplicates before letting you publish.
Share what works
Proven automations can be shared to your team’s library through reviewed promotion. Every release is signed, versioned, and locked.
See the full lifecycle, including what the safety preview checks.
How is this different from what we already use?
vs. Dynamo / pyRevit / scripts
It’s the layer that makes those tools trustworthy
Dynamo, pyRevit, and LISP/macros let you write automation. CRAFT is the layer that keeps your team’s automations reviewable, signed, versioned, and trusted — with duplicate detection, reviewed sharing, and a mandatory safety preview on every run. It does not replace those authoring tools; it gives them the governance they’ve always been missing.
vs. “AI that writes code for you”
AI helps you find the right tool. It never writes the one that runs.
AI in CRAFT interprets what you ask for and ranks matches in your team’s library — that’s it. A rule-based engine and a mandatory safety preview own the execution path. AI never modifies scripts, never bypasses the preview, and never runs anything. See the full AI scope.
Every run shows you exactly what it will do
This is the safety preview every automation passes through. Real output, not a mockup.
Every automation shows this safety preview before execution. See all seven categories the preview checks.
AI proposes. You approve. The safety preview decides.
CRAFT uses AI to interpret what you ask for and rank matches in your team’s library. A rule-based engine and a fail-safe preview decide what actually runs. AI never writes the executable code, never modifies scripts, and never bypasses the preview. See the full AI scope.
You Always Know What's Going to Happen
Nothing runs unless you approve it. Nothing changes unless the safety preview says it's safe.
You Review Everything First
Every automation starts as a reviewable draft — you see exactly what it reads, writes, and changes before you press Run.
Runs on Your Machine, Not Ours
All automations run locally inside your CAD host — the cloud stores signed packages but never touches your project files.
Your Library Stays Clean
Sharing requires review and near-duplicate detection — so 50 overlapping scripts can’t accumulate again.
Signed, Versioned, Tamper-Proof
Published automations are cryptographically signed and locked — you always know exactly what you’re running. Full security details.
Questions Teams Ask First
The five things evaluators ask on day one. Short answers; the full set lives on the FAQ page.
Can I try CRAFT before committing to anything?
CRAFT is in private early access and all plans are free during this phase. Request early access and, if you’re a fit, you’ll get an installer, an activation key, and a guided onboarding session with the engineering team. No credit card.
What does CRAFT cost?
Nothing during early access. Pricing for paid tiers will be announced at least 30 days before general availability. There are no usage credits, no consumption metering, and no per-run charges. See the plan structure.
Is my project data safe?
Your project files, drawings, and model content stay on your machine. CRAFT runs automations locally inside Revit or Civil 3D. The cloud holds signed packages and licensing state — nothing more. Telemetry is off by default. Every operation shows exactly what leaves your machine (if anything) in the safety preview before it runs. Full security details.
How does CRAFT compare to Dynamo, pyRevit, or our own scripts?
Dynamo, pyRevit, and LISP/macros let you write automations. CRAFT is the layer that keeps them reviewable, signed, versioned, and trusted by your team — with duplicate detection, reviewed sharing, and a fail-safe preview on every run. It does not replace those authoring tools; it gives them governance. See the full comparison.
What if an automation breaks my drawing?
The safety preview shows exactly what every automation will read, write, and change before it runs. Automations execute inside the host’s transaction model, so failed operations roll back cleanly. The preview is fail-safe — there is no “run anyway” override. And a licensed professional reviews every output, because CRAFT is a tool, not a substitute for engineering judgment.
CRAFT vs. the Status Quo
| Scattered Scripts | CRAFT | |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring | Write code from scratch | Pick from your team’s library, or use a guided form |
| Review | None — run and hope | Mandatory draft review + safety preview |
| Safety | Trust the author | Fail-safe preview showing exactly what leaves your machine |
| Sharing | Copy to shared drive | Reviewed sharing with duplicate detection |
| Time | Hours of setup and testing | Seconds to preview and run |
| Versioning | Filename suffixes | Versioned, signed, and locked — releases never change |
