bim-scripting

bim-scripting is a skill for Claude Code from marcinfinitesimal533/Claude-skills-for-Computational-Designers. It costs 40 tokens per session (10,355 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bim-scripting, MIT.

A guide to automating BIM, or Building Information Modeling, which is the structured data behind a building’s 3D model. It covers Revit, Dynamo, pyRevit, IFC/openBIM, checking, documentation, and coordination.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read and change model data, check building elements, detect clashes, automate documents, and exchange BIM data between software systems.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive manual work and makes large building models easier to inspect, update, and document consistently.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bim-scripting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

BIM Scripting

Comprehensive reference for automating Building Information Modeling workflows through scripting, API access, and interoperability platforms. This skill covers the full spectrum of BIM automation --- from visual programming with Dynamo through deep Revit API scripting, pyRevit extension development, IFC/openBIM data exchange, model checking, automated documentation, and cross-platform interoperability via Speckle, BHoM, and Rhino.Inside.Revit.


1. BIM Automation Philosophy

Why Script BIM

BIM models are databases disguised as 3D geometry. Every wall, door, room, and duct segment carries structured data --- type, dimensions, material, cost code, fire rating, acoustic class, phase, workset, design option. Manual manipulation of that data does not scale. A 200-unit residential project may contain 40,000+ elements, each with 30--80 parameters. Changing a naming convention, verifying parameter completeness, or exporting coordinated drawing sets by hand is not just slow --- it is error-prone and unrepeatable.

Scripting BIM means treating the model as a programmable data source:

  • Read element properties at scale (audit, validate, report).
  • Write parameter values in batch (standards enforcement, data enrichment).
  • Create elements procedurally (repetitive layouts, adaptive placement).
  • Transform geometry computationally (facade panelization, structural optimization).
  • Export deliverables automatically (sheets to PDF, models to IFC, data to dashboards).

Manual vs. Automated BIM Workflows

Workflow Manual Approach Automated Approach Time Savings
Parameter QA Open each element, check value Script scans all elements, flags violations 95%
Sheet creation Place views, adjust crops, add tags one by one Script generates sheets from template rules 90%
Clash detection Visual inspection in section views Navisworks / script-based interference check 85%
Export to IFC File > Export > IFC, configure, repeat per model Batch script exports all linked models with preset mappings 80%
Room finish schedule Manual schedule, manual formatting API-generated schedule with conditional formatting 75%
Design option comparison Duplicate views, switch options, compare Script generates comparison report with metrics 90%
Naming convention enforcement Manual review of browser tree FilteredElementCollector + regex validation 98%

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
