Nodu Bridge

Nodu Bridge connects Archicad and Revit without IFC exports or manual model rebuilding. It represents the Archicad model as a lightweight cloud graph and rebuilds it on the Revit side through the Revit API, so the result is a real, editable Revit element rather than reference geometry.

Overview

Elements that NODU Bridge can convert arrive in Revit as native objects, keeping their structure and BIM properties. Elements it cannot yet natively map come across as DirectShape geometry, so the result should always be reviewed before use, the same way any model hand-off is reviewed. NODU Bridge runs as an add-in inside both Archicad and Revit; no separate export step or intermediate file format is involved.

Key Capabilities

- Converts Archicad element into native, editable Revit elements.
- Handles up to 10 000 elements per upload, with element coverage expanding in regular releases.
- Matches converted elements to the receiving team’s own Revit family library, so results fit existing templates and content.
- Works on Windows and macOS on the Archicad side; the Revit side runs on Windows, matching Revit’s own platform support

Who It's For

Architecture practices and BIM managers working in mixed Archicad-Revit environments, and teams that need to hand off Archicad models to Revit-based collaborators, consultants, or contractors without a full manual rebuild.

Typical Workflows

An Archicad-based design team shares a model with a Revit-based structural or MEP partner: instead of exporting to IFC and rebuilding generic objects, the Archicad user selects and uploads the relevant elements, and the Revit user downloads them as native, editable objects ready to continue working in.
