The model checker automatically checks Revit models
00:09
and assist with verifying compliance to the BIM requirements and or the BIM Execution Plan.
00:16
The add in is designed to quickly identify possible conflicts or areas of noncompliance in a model
00:21
by running several standard checks which can be viewed or exported for analytical review.
00:28
The model checker can be found on the BIM Interoperability Tools tab of the ribbon.
00:34
Here, within the Model Checker panel, we'll do a three step process, will simply Set it up.
00:41
We'll Run it and we'll Review the report.
00:45
So let's select Setup.
00:48
Here, it's as simple as selecting which configured check set you want to use for this model.
00:55
We can browse to one,
00:56
we can access our Recently used one or we can grab them from the Public Library.
01:02
Let's go ahead and browse to an xml.
01:04
Select the one that we setup here. I'm gonna hit Open.
01:08
Gonna hit Okay,
01:10
I'm just gonna Save it and Close it,
01:15
simple as that.
01:16
We've identified the checkset that we want to use in the model checker.
01:20
Next step is to run, so we'll select the Run here.
01:26
This is gonna run the models check right now.
01:29
It is the current model that we have open but we can Add Models to it, so we can add this to a list of processed files.
01:36
We can check all the links. We can uncheck the links,
01:39
we can remove all models. I'm gonna leave it as is.
01:43
I'm select Run Report.
01:47
We're gonna give it a moment.
01:48
It's gonna go through all of those checks that were created within that check set
01:51
and it's gonna give us a final result here in a moment.
01:59
Okay and up pops the report. This is the summary here.
02:02
So we've got the Check Summary, it ran 13 Checks,
02:15
Down here gives us a little bit more information.
02:19
I can drill down into the Sections here to get a little bit more.
02:24
I can copy this information.
02:26
I can view an html or I can export this out to Excel.
02:33
If I export that out to Excel, it's just gonna go to the location, I've got it here.
02:37
I'm gonna hit Okay.
02:39
It says it's been exported successfully, do you want to open it?
02:42
Let's go ahead and take a look at it.
02:45
There's the Excel, there's the Files, there's the Checks that were ran and there's the Elements and the report.
02:54
Okay, while we're here within this summary, I'm gonna also choose HTML to show you that option.
02:59
Let's just throw that on our Desktop and very similar to what we see, here.
03:05
This is the HTML. It's gonna tell us about that checkset a lot more information.
03:12
I'm gonna Close this down.
03:15
Okay if I'm out of that and I want to view that report again, I'm just gonna select View Report and right back into it.
03:22
So even if you close that, when you first run that report,
03:26
you can always go back view the report, re-export it, close it down.
03:30
Re-run it if you need to run it against another checkset. Very simple.
03:36
So once configured we can set it up, we can run it.
03:39
We can review and export out those reports.

The BIM Interoperability Tools installer includes the Equipment Data Tool, Spatial Data Tool, Standardized Data Tool, Model Checker, Model Checker Configurator, and COBie Extension for Revit.
The tools can be downloaded from manage.autodesk.com, or installed directly through the Autodesk Desktop App.
The Model Checker automatically checks Revit models and assists with verifying compliance to BIM requirements. The add-in is designed to quickly identify possible conflicts or areas of non-compliance in a model by running several standards checks, which can be viewed or exported for analytical review.
While the Model Checker should not supersede the rules or recommendations put forth by any authority having jurisdiction, it does provide useful guidance for BIM compliance throughout a project's development. To best utilize the add-in, you will need to follow the steps outlines below.
SETUP -> RUN -> VIEW REPORT
This dialog gives you the option of selecting a specific local checkset XML by clicking the ellipsis button and navigating to the file, selecting a previously loaded checkset, opening one from the web hosted "Public Library", or opening a checkset from "My Library". Your BIM manager can configure your Model Checker to locate the My Library location.
Task 2: Run Check and View Report
The Model Checker will begin to process and analyze all selected checks, and a progress bar will provide real-time updates on which project file is currently being analyzed (if multiple have been selected), and what the current check is.
When the analytical process has been completed, a dialog box will appear providing the overall result of the check(s). This report will provide information regarding which checks have failed within your model and a description of why the particular check failed. This information can be exported to HTML, copied to the Clipboard, or exported to Excel for analytical review and data tracking.

00:06
The Model Checker configurator is a standalone Windows application that allows you to create
00:11
and edit your own configuration files to use within the Model Checker.
00:16
The configurator can be found on the BIM Interoperability Tools tab of the ribbon, and on the Configurator panel, you'll see Launch.
00:27
All we need to do there is select "Launch".
00:33
And this is the Navigation toolbar.
00:34
We'll go through each one of these one by one.
00:37
But this first page is the General settings.
00:39
This page allows you to open an existing configuration file for editing or create a new configuration file and change the checkset properties.
00:49
So if I come here to open, it's going to launch the open checkset XML.
00:54
Here, we can browse to a file.
00:57
We can look at our recent checksets and we can also look at some of the publicly available checksets that are prebuilt for us.
01:06
So in this case, we've got airports, we've got general, we've got Revit best practices, we have the USACE stuff,
01:13
a lot of things in here that's a good starting point or that's already been set forth by the client.
01:21
If I select one of my recent ones, I'm going to select the Revit Model Checker for USACE, I am going to select that.
01:27
I'm just going to hit "OK".
01:29
Okay.
01:29
And this is, again, if one has already been built for you or you want to edit an existing one.
01:34
So I'll come down here to the preview checkset just to show you what this checkset consists of.
01:39
We're going to build our own in a moment.
01:41
So I come down here.
01:42
I can just look at this preview.
01:44
You can see all the model checks that are included in this checkset, the element checks that are included in this checkset.
01:51
I can edit that if I want to, so I can kind of drill down in here to what those checksets are, and I can look at them.
01:57
So for example, this model checks here.
01:60
Let's look at the warnings.
02:02
And here in this warning, it says description, reports and lists all warnings in a Revit model.
02:07
The result is count and list of matching elements.
02:10
So we could edit that even further if we need it.
02:13
But let's build our own checkset.
02:15
Let's create one real quick.
02:16
We're going to come here to the general settings and I'm going to simply select New.
02:21
Let's just call this Test Set, author is going to be me, Me, give a description if we want.
02:30
We could give it again a dialogue image, that could be a logo, that could be the project image, it could be anything you want there.
02:36
It's just an image file.
02:38
We can save this or we can do a "Save As" if it's something we've edited.
02:41
I'm going to say "Save" and I'm just going to save that to my desktop.
02:44
I'm going to call that Test Set XML.
02:47
So let's look at what it takes to build a checkset.
02:50
There are three pages here in this dialog box that support the creation of new checks.
02:56
There's the advanced check builder, there's the wizard check builder, and then there's the pre-built checksets.
03:04
Checks created in any of these pages can be added and organized into the checksets on the Structure Organization tab
03:11
and previewed on the Preview Checkset tab.
03:16
So let's look at the advanced option here.
03:18
This allows you full control over every aspect of your check.
03:22
This is recommended for those that have created checks before.
03:25
So if you're familiar with it, you can kind of create your own checks through this advanced page or if you need a modifying existing check.
03:32
When editing a check, even if created with the wizard, you'll always open it in this interface.
03:39
So if we want to create a new one or add one in here,
03:41
I'm going to say add this to the check to the library of unused, but I'm going to fill this out first.
03:47
So I'm just going to name it here.
03:48
Let's just do Duplicate Model Elements, check result.
03:59
You have a few options here for check result.
04:01
I'm going to say "Fail when model elements are found".
04:05
So when it sees duplicate model elements, that's going to fail or give us a report of failure.
04:14
We can describe it if we want, so checks for any modeled elements that are duplicates.
04:28
Okay.
04:29
And a failure message.
04:30
This is whatever you wanted to say, you could simply say failure.
04:33
You could say Failed Duplicate Elements, whatever you want to put in here.
04:46
And down here in the filters, we can create filters.
04:49
So this is what's going to run against the model.
04:52
So I'm going to say add filter.
04:56
Category - this can be anything.
04:58
I'm going to do API type, full class name equals.
05:03
And then we can put in some information here.
05:10
I'm going to say user defined.
05:15
And default value is, let's see, Autodesk Revit.DB.FamilyInstance.
05:28
Again, this could be anything here.
05:30
We can add more filters here.
05:32
So I'm going to add another filter.
05:34
I'm going to add it to category is view, is defined, and maybe the code here is False, expand my window a little bit, False.
05:52
To add another operator.
05:58
Okay, and is redundant.
06:03
Location equals true.
06:05
We're good there, okay.
06:07
I'm going to add this to the checkset.
06:11
Check added, I'm going to hit "OK".
06:14
So you can go through there, you can rearrange these filters if you want.
06:18
So, you know, it's going to now check the location first where it's going to check the view first.
06:23
Different things you can do in there.
06:24
You can organize these filters however you want.
06:28
I'm going to save that again, just to make sure we saved it.
06:30
This could be a very lengthy filter list here.
06:34
Whatever you wanted to check there, based on the properties here, add filters.
06:39
Pretty straightforward.
06:40
We could do new ones.
06:42
So this is where you begin to build your checkset one check at a time.
06:48
And then we have the Wizard Check Builder.
06:51
So if you're just starting out, this is a very simple way to walk through this dialog box.
06:55
The wizard is going to prompt you with a series of questions
06:58
that will guide you through the creation of a check with the appropriate configuration filters already set.
07:03
So for example, let's just choose one of these.
07:07
Let's choose "This check will count matching elements".
07:11
Okay? And in here, I'm going to choose, "I am checking on views in my model".
07:19
Again, whatever option we want to choose here, I'm checking on model elements in my model, architectural, MEP structural, checking annotated elements,
07:27
whatever we want to choose.
07:30
The categories you want to check, again, whichever one you want to choose.
07:33
Maybe we'll just do Views, View Ports and Sheets, and hit continue here.
07:41
I want to add filters or this check only checks if there are instances of the categories place in the model.
07:47
I'm done building this check and ready to name it.
07:49
I'm going to choose that one.
07:50
Again, we could add additional filters to it.
07:53
We're not in the wizard or if we like what the wizard created, we'll select that.
07:58
The name of this check is "MatchingElements" and you can give a description describe.
08:12
Okay? I'm going to simply select "Finish".
08:16
Okay? So we've got the advanced check builder, we've got the wizard check builder.
08:21
And again, this is all being done in one checkset.
08:26
We then have some prebuilt check.
08:28
So if I select the prebuilt checks, you can simply select "Add Here".
08:32
So warning count reports all warnings in a Revit model.
08:36
You can list those warnings and report.
08:38
Sure, why not? Going to hit "Add".
08:44
And then all these prebuilt checks.
08:46
So we can add a prebuilt check to the checkset.
08:48
So let's just say we want to check for file size, file size, add.
08:57
Maybe you want a list of the largest families, add.
09:01
Okay, prebuilt checks.
09:03
So if there's something in there, you want to check this model, check your linked files,
09:07
whatever it is that you wanted to check, you can check for version.
09:11
I know that's a very popular option here to check for version if some models are not on the same version, some linked models or something.
09:19
But easy to build out this entire checkset.
09:21
So three options, again.
09:23
Advanced, Wizard, and now some of those prebuilt ones.
09:29
Now if we switch to the checkset structure and organization page,
09:33
this allows you to reorganize the checks into different headers and sections and subsections.
09:39
You can add some headings, you could add sections.
09:41
This is just how the structure of that report and that check is going to look and feel.
09:47
We could add a heading.
09:48
I'm just going to leave it Heading 1.
09:50
We can describe it.
09:52
We could add a section that could be section for modeled elements.
09:56
A section could be a checkset based on families or something like that.
09:60
Anything you want to add, Heading 2 or Section 2.
10:03
It could also refer back to a spec book, however you want to set that up.
10:08
I'm going to come here and I'm going to open one that we're going to use.
10:11
I'm just going to go to open, so we can look at something that's a little bit more complete.
10:14
I'm going to open this Revit Model Checker for USACE, going to hit "OK" here.
10:20
Okay? So pretty simple to create or configure those Checksets.
10:24
Again, open or create a new one and then walk through the three very easy-to-use options here to create.
10:32
You can use all of them, you can use one option, whatever you feel comfortable with using.
10:38
And from there, we'll move over to Model Checker and we will set up, run, and view the report from Model Checker.

06:05
We're good there, okay.
06:07
I'm going to add this to the checkset.
06:11
Check added, I'm going to hit "OK".
06:14
So you can go through there, you can rearrange these filters if you want.
06:18
So, you know, it's going to now check the location first where it's going to check the view first.
06:23
Different things you can do in there.
06:24
You can organize these filters however you want.
06:28
I'm going to save that again, just to make sure we saved it.
06:30
This could be a very lengthy filter list here.
06:34
Whatever you wanted to check there, based on the properties here, add filters.
06:39
Pretty straightforward.
06:40
We could do new ones.
06:42
So this is where you begin to build your checkset one check at a time.
06:48
And then we have the Wizard Check Builder.
06:51
So if you're just starting out, this is a very simple way to walk through this dialog box.
06:55
The wizard is going to prompt you with a series of questions
06:58
that will guide you through the creation of a check with the appropriate configuration filters already set.
07:03
So for example, let's just choose one of these.
07:07
Let's choose "This check will count matching elements".
07:11
Okay? And in here, I'm going to choose, "I am checking on views in my model".
07:19
Again, whatever option we want to choose here, I'm checking on model elements in my model, architectural, MEP structural, checking annotated elements,
07:27
whatever we want to choose.
07:30
The categories you want to check, again, whichever one you want to choose.
07:33
Maybe we'll just do Views, View Ports and Sheets, and hit continue here.
07:41
I want to add filters or this check only checks if there are instances of the categories place in the model.
07:47
I'm done building this check and ready to name it.
07:49
I'm going to choose that one.
07:50
Again, we could add additional filters to it.
07:53
We're not in the wizard or if we like what the wizard created, we'll select that.
07:58
The name of this check is "MatchingElements" and you can give a description describe.
08:12
Okay? I'm going to simply select "Finish".
08:16
Okay? So we've got the advanced check builder, we've got the wizard check builder.
08:21
And again, this is all being done in one checkset.
08:26
We then have some prebuilt check.
08:28
So if I select the prebuilt checks, you can simply select "Add Here".
08:32
So warning count reports all warnings in a Revit model.
08:36
You can list those warnings and report.
08:38
Sure, why not? Going to hit "Add".
08:44
And then all these prebuilt checks.
08:46
So we can add a prebuilt check to the checkset.
08:48
So let's just say we want to check for file size, file size, add.
08:57
Maybe you want a list of the largest families, add.
09:01
Okay, prebuilt checks.
09:03
So if there's something in there, you want to check this model, check your linked files,
09:07
whatever it is that you wanted to check, you can check for version.
09:11
I know that's a very popular option here to check for version if some models are not on the same version, some linked models or something.
09:19
But easy to build out this entire checkset.
09:21
So three options, again.
09:23
Advanced, Wizard, and now some of those prebuilt ones.
09:29
Now if we switch to the checkset structure and organization page,
09:33
this allows you to reorganize the checks into different headers and sections and subsections.
09:39
You can add some headings, you could add sections.
09:41
This is just how the structure of that report and that check is going to look and feel.
09:47
We could add a heading.
09:48
I'm just going to leave it Heading 1.
09:50
We can describe it.
09:52
We could add a section that could be section for modeled elements.
09:56
A section could be a checkset based on families or something like that.
09:60
Anything you want to add, Heading 2 or Section 2.
10:03
It could also refer back to a spec book, however you want to set that up.
10:08
I'm going to come here and I'm going to open one that we're going to use.
10:11
I'm just going to go to open, so we can look at something that's a little bit more complete.
10:14
I'm going to open this Revit Model Checker for USACE, going to hit "OK" here.
10:20
Okay? So pretty simple to create or configure those Checksets.
10:24
Again, open or create a new one and then walk through the three very easy-to-use options here to create.
10:32
You can use all of them, you can use one option, whatever you feel comfortable with using.
10:38
And from there, we'll move over to Model Checker and we will set up, run, and view the report from Model Checker.
The Model Checker Configurator is a standalone Windows application that allows you to create and edit your own configuration files to use with the Model Checker.
The navigation toolbar is docked to the left side of the application. When expanded it looks like the image below, which provides the page title associated with the icon. The pages are available from the toolbar:
There are three pages that support the creation of new checks: Advanced Check Builder, Wizard Check Builder, and Pre-Built Checks. Checks created in any of these pages can be added and organized into the checkset on Check Structure and Organization and previewed on Preview Checkset.
This allows you full control over every aspect of your checks. This is recommended for those who have created checks before, or if you need to modify an existing check. When editing a check, even if created with the wizard, they will open this helpful interface.
The Wizard will prompt you with a series of simple questions that will guide you through the creation of a check, with the appropriate configuration and filters.
This page contains pre-built checks that cannot be created via the Advanced Check Builder or the Wizard Check Builder. Next to each check is an “Add” button, this will let you modify some of the information about the check prior to adding it to the Unused checks.
This page allows for organizing the checks into different headers and sections and subsections.
The next step is to RUN the Autodesk Model Checker for Revit.
Let’s create a new checkset.
