CODECOMPLY FOR REVIT

INSTALL

1. Close Revit, run the installer, click through. It places the add-in in your Revit 2025/2026 add-ins folder and the self-contained checking engine (embedded Python, everything pre-installed) under your user profile.
2. Windows may show an unrecognized-publisher prompt, and Revit an unsigned-add-in dialog on first start — expected for an alpha build; choose “Always Load”.
3. That's it. No Python, no terminal, nothing to keep running — the add-in starts the engine silently in the background when you use it.

USE

1. Check Model — one click: the add-in snapshots the open model (parameters, room boundaries — SI units, no meshes), the engine on your machine runs the check, and the results dock in the panel. Models never leave your computer.
2. Code Panel — the full checking workspace beside your Project Browser: floor plans, the code library, and per-element pass / fail / data-missing verdicts against the IRC, IBC and ADA rule graph, traceable to the code text.
3. Click a finding in the panel — the element is selected and zoomed in your Revit view.
4. Optional live loop: create an empty file %AppData%\CodeComply\autocheck.txt and every save re-runs the check. Point the add-in at a remote engine via %AppData%\CodeComply\server.txt. Add-in-only zip for manual installs: codecomply-revit-0.3.0-alpha.zip.

WHY SNAPSHOTS BEAT IFC EXPORT

• Reads the authored parameters — riser heights, door widths, fire ratings — not values reverse-engineered from exported meshes.
• Room use comes from your Room names and Occupancy fields; no Space Usage spreadsheet.
• Exports abstracted data only (parameters, room outlines, bounding boxes) — not your full model geometry.
