By using this tool, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You use this software at your own risk
  • The developers are not responsible for any data loss, corruption, or damage
  • This tool analyzes Revit geometry data from published files - it does not modify source files
  • Results should be verified before making optimization decisions
  • This is not an official Autodesk product
  • You have appropriate permissions to access the projects being analyzed
IMPORTANT: Analysis results are intended as guidance for optimization opportunities. Always validate findings with your BIM management team before making changes to production families.
Overview

The Geometry Assessor is an analysis platform for evaluating Revit family geometry against Revit's core geometry processing design. It helps explain why some Revit models feel slow, unstable, or difficult to work with—even when there are few or no warnings.

Key capabilities include:

  • Analyzing geometry type distribution (solids vs. meshes)
  • Measuring edge segment complexity and face counts
  • Detecting imported geometry sources (SAT, mesh imports)
  • Identifying nested family structures
  • Grading families based on deviation from Revit's optimal geometry design
  • Providing actionable optimization recommendations
System Requirements
  • Valid Autodesk account with access to BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
  • Appropriate permissions on projects containing Revit files to analyze
  • ACC Docs provisioning for this application
  • Modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
