Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • Claude Desktop must be restarted after initial setup for the MCP connection to activate.
  • If Revit is not running when the AI app starts, the connection will fail. Start Revit first, then restart the AI app.
  • Worksharing features (worksets) require an active workshared document.
  • Large models with 50,000+ elements may experience slower query responses for broad element searches. Use category, level, or view filters to narrow results.
