Connect Acelab Products to Revit Assets

The Acelab add-in allows you to connect the products and materials you’ve saved in your projects to your Revit assets, which are materials and elements.

​

Two Workflows, One Goal

Choose whichever mapping method fits your current task:

• Product-first: Start with a product you’ve selected and connect it to Revit elements.
• Element-first: Start with your Revit model and find the right Acelab products for each element

View Acelab Product Information in Revit

The Acelab Revit add-in connects your Revit models with Acelab’s Material Hub, enabling a two-way data exchange.

• Product data from Acelab — such as manufacturer details, specifications, and approval status — flows into your Revit model to enrich its intelligence.
• Model data from Revit — such as quantities, element placement, and dimensions — flows back into your Acelab projects.
