Follow these steps to use the ArchiWind Export Plugin for Revit v2022 to 2025:

1. Open Your Project
2. Launch Revit and open your .rvt project.
3. Navigate to the 3D View
   • Go to the {3D} View in your project. Note: The plugin will only appear in the Add-ins tab ribbon when you are in a 3D view.
4. Ensure All Elements Are Visible
   • Ensure that all project elements are visible in the 3D view for a complete export.
5. Verify View Template Settings
   • Make sure the 3D view used has no "Template" set. Go to the "Properties" panel and under "Identity Data/View_Template," ensure it is set to <None>.
6. Locate the ArchiWind Export in the Panel Title Bar
   • ArchiWind Export should now appear in your Panel Title bar. Click on the Panel title to start.
7. Launch ArchiWind Export
   • Start the export process by clicking on "Launch" in the ArchiWind Export plugin.
8. Select Export Options
   • By default, the plugin will export all views even if they are empty. We recommend keeping all the boxes ticked for simplicity, but you can choose which geometries to export.
   • The categories are:
     • Building: Includes floors, doors, ceilings, roofs, windows, mass, railings, walls, and stairs.
     • Surroundings: Includes site elements.
     • Terrain: Includes topography.
   • Note: At least one of these categories is required to start a simulation. For example, you can simulate a bare terrain or just a structure on a flat plate.
9. Choose Export Location
   • Select the desired location to save the exported files.
10. Export the Geometries
    • Click the "Export" button. Your geometries will be exported to the chosen location.
11. Upload to ArchiWind
    • Visit ArchiWind Projects and upload your geometries to run your wind simulation.
    • Note: You can find your latitude and longitude coordinates in the ArchiWind Export Plugin. These coordinates are needed to geolocate your project on the ArchiWind Simulation Submit Page.

Follow these instructions to export your 3D models from Revit using the ArchiWind Export Plugin and integrate them into your wind simulation projects on ArchiWind.
