Sync a Termite Session with Revit

How Sessions Work with Plugins

  • Sessions are created and managed in the Termite Dashboard
  • Revit plugin syncs geometry and information to the active session
  • Changes made in Revit or in the dashboard are reflected across the session

A session becomes the single source of truth for your project during early design.

You can also set settings for wall types, door sizes, etc.

Setting Inputs in Revit

  • Sessions get inputs from the Revit
  • These inputs include a boundary curve, preferred locations for spaces, fixed spaces

Defining Boundary Curves

To start with a layout generation, you need to define a boundary.

Check out a short video on how to insert a boundary in Revit and sync it with a Termite session:

Make sure that the selected boundary is a closed curve.

Defining Preferred Space Locations

You can specify the locations of the spaces inside your boundary.

Defining Fixed Spaces

You can define the shape of some spaces in a layout by defining them as fixed spaces.

In Revit, fixed spaces can be defined using two methods: (1) with lines, (2) with rooms.

Defining Axes

You can define one or more axes in Revit and ask Termite to align spaces based on those axes. Check out a short video on how to insert axis in Revit and sync it with a Termite session:
