Imagine if you could talk to your Revit model. Instead of navigating endless ribbons, clicking through dozens of menus, or manually updating hundreds of parameter values, you simply ask for what you need.
That is the core of BIMlogiq Copilot. It is an AI-powered assistant that translates natural language into complex Revit actions. Whether you are an architect, engineer, or BIM manager, Copilot acts as a force multiplier, handling the repetitive "click-heavy" tasks so you can focus on high-value design and coordination.
Below is a breakdown of exactly what you can do with BIMlogiq Copilot, categorized by workflow.
How to Use BIM LOGIQ Co-Pilot: Simple Prompts You Can Try
BIM LOGIQ Co-Pilot is built to respond to natural-language prompts—just type what you need, and it automates the task directly inside your BIM workflow.
Before we explore the detailed use cases, here are a few quick examples showing how easy it is to work with Co-Pilot:
Create callout for each Room on the current view that their Area is smaller than 600 sqf
Adjust the command and also check if the Room Name contains 'Unit'. When saving the command also make Room Name a Variable
find all the walls on the current view that are adjacent to a Room with 'Corridor' in their Name. They override their Surface Pattern Color to Red
Place ceiling Generic in each room on the current view with 'Unit' in their Room Name. Place the ceiling at 2400mm from the the reference level
for each room on the current view that contains 'Unit' in their Name, create an Interior Elevation for 4 all sides, East, West, North and South
find all the walls on the current view that are adjacent to a Room with 'Corridor' in their Name. They override their Surface Pattern Color to Red
create an excel report of windows for each room. In column A of the excel file put the Room Name and in column B put the Window family name and in Column C put the Mark value of the window. Save the excel file on my desktop and call it "test"
Practical Use Cases of BIM LOGIQ Co-Pilot
1. View and Sheet Management & Documentation
Documentation is often the most time-consuming phase of a project. Copilot automates the creation and organization of views and sheets, ensuring your project standards are met without the manual grind.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
View Creation, Duplication, and Cropping | Generating specialized views (3D, sectional, plan) or creating mass duplicates and managing boundaries (crop/annotation crop, scope boxes). | Efficiency & Consistency: Speeds up documentation and ensures views adhere to standards. |
|
Sheet Production and Modification | Automating the creation, duplication, numbering, and modification of sheets and their parameters. | Project Control: Minimizes errors in compliance and version control. |
|
Naming and Parameter Standardization | Enforcing naming conventions for views, sheets, levels, often involving batch finding/replacing text based on criteria. | Data Integrity & Organization: Critical for BIM management, allowing quick searching and filtering. |
|
2. Data Management: Parameters and Schedules
BIM is nothing without the "Information." These use cases allow you to batch-process metadata and ensure your schedules are accurate and ready for export.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
Parameter Reading and Writing | Batch updating instance or type parameter values based on external data, geometry, or sequential numbering. | BIM Compliance: Essential for filling in metadata efficiently, ensuring model data is rich and standardized. |
|
Schedule Creation and Export | Generating schedules, customizing fields, and exporting data outside of Revit (to Excel/CSV). | Quantification & Reporting: Allows rapid generation of quantity takeoffs and data audits. |
|
3. Quantification and Reporting
Need a quick audit of your model health or a count of specific families? Copilot can query the database of your model instantly.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
Quantification and Reporting | Calculating counts, areas, lengths, or reporting specialized lists of project information. | Model Health & Analysis: Provides quick audits of model content and data completeness. |
|
4. MEP Design, Analysis, and Coordination
For MEP engineers, Copilot handles the tedious tasks of routing, clashing, and system assignment, reducing the risk of coordination errors on site.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
MEP Calculations and Setup | Tasks related to initial system setup, resizing elements based on flow calculations, and system modeling adjustments. | Performance & Compliance: Ensures engineering calculations are implemented, supporting system function. |
|
Penetration and Clash Management | Automatically identifying interference, documenting clashes, and creating necessary openings. | Coordination & Constructability: Reduces coordination errors, crucial for fabrication and installation. |
|
Component Placement and Modification | Placing specialized MEP equipment based on parameters or automating parameter assignments based on connections. | Speed & Consistency: Quickly places fixtures or assigns standardized data across systems. |
|
5. Modeling, Modification, and Geometry
From setting up the initial grids to bulk-editing geometry, these commands automate the foundational spatial framework of your model.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
Grid and Level Generation | Creating or modifying project grids and levels with defined naming conventions and spacing. | Project Setup: Automates the foundational spatial framework of the model, saving significant time. |
|
Geometric Manipulation and Placement | Adjusting the position, rotation, or geometry of various model elements. | Precision & Remediation: Allows for precise realignment or bulk changes necessary for design cleanup. |
|
6. Selection, Filtering, and Graphics
These features allow you to "see" and "grab" exactly what you need in the model, even based on complex parameter logic that standard Revit filters can't handle easily.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
Advanced Selection and Filtering | Selecting elements based on intricate logic involving multiple parameters, categories, and location constraints. | Targeted Modification: Crucial for precise model auditing and applying modifications only where necessary. |
|
Graphics and Visibility Control | Applying temporary or permanent graphic overrides based on element properties or clashes. | Visualization & Audit: Enables immediate visual feedback on design status and model completeness. |
|
Model Element Management | Deleting, isolating, or hiding elements (including tags, views, and imported CAD files) based on specific criteria. | Model Health: Maintains a clean, efficient model by removing unused or outdated components. |
|
7. Workset and Link Management
Essential for collaboration, these tools help you manage the "invisible" data structure of shared models and linked files.
Use Case | Description | Why It Matters | Example Prompts |
Workset Creation and Assignment | Creating new worksets and automatically moving elements to the correct worksets based on category or parameters. | Collaboration & Performance: Improves model performance and enforces BIM protocols. |
|
Linked Model Interaction | Copying elements, coordinates, or data from linked Revit files or managing visibility. | Integration & Coordination: Facilitates necessary interaction between different disciplinary models. |

The Future of Smart Design
By integrating these workflows into your daily routine, BIMlogiq Copilot doesn't just save clicks—it fundamentally changes how you interact with Revit. You no longer need to be a programming expert to automate complex tasks; you just need to know what you want to achieve. From managing massive sheet sets to resolving intricate MEP clashes, the power to control your model is now as simple as asking a question. Embrace the future of intelligent design and let Copilot handle the busy work, so you can focus on building the extraordinary.
