Offline. Open-source. Extendable with Python, AI, or any logic you need

Automations tailored to your team, 
your data, and your goals

How it works:

  • Download and install n8n (open-source offline workflow platform) Get our ready-made workflow from GitHub
  • Start the workflow — get Excel spreadsheets, dashboards, verification reports, and other documents in seconds
  • No Autodesk® license, no plugins, fully offline

Why use pipeline?

  • Complete and fully customizable export of all data from CAD format
  • Ready-made templates for conversion, QTO grouping, and data verification
  • Extendable: connect Python, AI, or custom post-processing
  • ETL pipelines ready for LLM-based analytics & dashboards

🚀 Start in 3 Steps

1

Install n8n

Offline workflow automation platform

2

Import workflow

⚡ Example Pipelines

Validation & QC Checks

Validate Revit®, IFC, and DWG files against your custom rules — without opening them in any CAD-BIM tool

Conversion and structuring

Fully offline pipeline to extract data and geometry from CAD models into Excel DataFrames and Collada (DAE) — ideal for open data workflows.

QTO + Report Generator

Extract quantities by categories (walls, doors, etc.), summarize them into Excel tables, and create automatic HTML dashboards for project tracking.

Why n8n? Why Now?

 The way we work with CAD and BIM data is changing.
No more relying on closed ecosystems, cloud-only APIs, or vendor lock-ins.

from manual file handling — to automated, repeatable pipelines

from fragmented tools — to unified visual workflows

from black-box software — to transparent, self-owned processes

With n8n, you create automations tailored to your team, your data, and your goals.
Offline. Open-source. Extendable with Python, AI, or any logic you need. This is not just a tool. It’s the foundation for a new kind of digital fluency in construction and design teams.

Learn it. Own it. Scale it.

News & Updates: Behind the Data

Question & Answer section

1What are the necessary components on my computer to initiate the conversion of Revit®, IFC and DWG files?
To begin the conversion process, simply download the converter zip package, extract its contents, and then run it either through its user interface or by integrating the conversion functionality into your application or automation scripts, without any need for further installation.
2What are the limitations of the FREE version of the converter?
The free version is limited to Revit® 2015 versions up to the penultimate version of the current year, DWG 1983-2025 and IFC2x3. There are no restrictions on the number of files or file sizes
3Is it necessary to install Revit®, AutoCAD or any other plugins and tools on my computer for converting the data?
To perform the conversion, you don't require Revit®, AutoCAD or any additional tools from CAD or BIM vendors.
4Is an internet connection required for converting data from Revit®, AutoCAD and IFC files?
No, an internet connection is not necessary. The conversion process is completed entirely offline, without transmitting or receiving any data over the internet.
5Does the 'Ad-Free Full edition' have an expiration date?
No, there are no time usage restrictions on this version.
6Will future Revit®, AutoCAD and IFC versions be supported by the converter?
Yes, new versions of the converters will be released annually to include new Revit versions.
7Is the converter a single-time purchase or subscription-based?
Currently, it's a single-time purchase.
8What kind of support is provided with the converter?
Support includes installation, usage, configuration, diagnosis, and bug fixes.
9 Is there any file size limit for the converter?
No, there are no restrictions on file size.
10How is RVT, DWG object data extracted without opening Revit and AutoCAD?
The process involves reverse engineering tools, which is complex and legally permissible.
11Is it possible to get advice or training to use the converter?
We can provide automation consulting, application or training services on an hourly basis upon request.
