Key Functionalities

The Revit add-in allows for a seamless experience between the interface of the web application and the Revit environment. It gives the user the power to navigate through their project data from within Revit as they would from an internet browser or the Layer app.

Below is the outline of the key functions of the Revit add-in that can be accessed from the Ribbon.

Live Link

The Live Link feature in Layer has powerful two-way functionality that lets users view and edit rich data, notes, tasks, and files right in Revit.

Users can navigate through the model and by clicking on a Revit objgect, instantly see associated rich data and files in the Layer dashboard.

Live Link also works in reverse: Select a linked Layer Element and Revit will automatically highlight and select its corresponding location in Revit.

<aside> 💡 For example, when a user is assigned a task in Layer that is associated with a specific Room, they can click on the task and the corresponding Room is instantly selected in the Revit view.
