1. Installation

1.1 System Requirements

1.2 Installing from Autodesk App Store

  1. On the Autodesk App Store listing, click Download.
  2. Run the downloaded 2DSUITE-Setup-1.0.10.exe.
  3. Accept the End User Licence Agreement and click Install.
  4. Both the desktop app and the Revit add-in install automatically.
  5. Launch Revit — you'll see a new 2DSUITE ribbon tab.

1.3 Installing from djinja-c.com

Go to https://djinja-c.com and click Download Free. The same installer is used — both channels install identical software.

First-run: On first launch, a Sign-In dialog asks for your email. The Free tier requires no credit card. Paid tiers are unlocked by pasting a licence code into Profile → Redeem Licence.

2. Revit Ribbon & Launch Button

After installation, open Revit and look for the 2DSUITE tab on the ribbon. It contains one panel named 2DSUITE with three buttons:

ButtonPurpose
Launch 2DSUITE Starts the 2DSUITE desktop app. If the app isn't installed, a dialog offers a one-click download link.
Bridge Status Shows the current bridge connection status, last executed command, and any diagnostic messages.
Ping Writes a proof-of-life record to the bridge status file — useful for diagnosing whether the add-in is loaded.

2.1 How the Bridge Works

The add-in subscribes to Revit's UIControlledApplication.Idling event and polls a local JSON file at %USERPROFILE%\.djinja-revit-bridge.json. When the desktop app writes a command to that file, the add-in picks it up and executes it on the Revit API thread via ExternalEvent.

All communication is local. No Revit model data, family content, or project files are ever transmitted off your machine. See Privacy Policy.

2.2 Keyboard Shortcut Dispatch

The desktop app's Command Deck dispatches actions via your installed Revit keyboard shortcut map. On first run, export your shortcuts from Revit:

  1. In Revit: File → Options → User Interface → Keyboard Shortcuts.
  2. Click Export... and save the resulting KeyboardShortcuts.xml.
  3. In 2DSUITE: Command Deck → Sync Shortcuts — point it at the exported file.

3. AI Coach Modes

2DSUITE offers five distinct coaching modes. Switch between them via the left sidebar.

ModeWhat It DoesTier
Watch & Suggest Observes your screen every few seconds and offers context-aware tips. Best for passive guidance while you work. Free (3/day)
Voice Only Push-to-talk coaching with spoken responses. Hands-free — great for site visits on a tablet. Free
Step-by-Step Structured walkthroughs of complex Revit tasks. The coach waits for you to complete each step before moving on. Pro
Cross-Reference Compare up to 25 PDF, DWG, or DOCX documents against your active Revit model. Flags mismatches, missing specs, revision drift. Pro (5 docs), Studio (25)
Code & Run The coach generates Python / PowerShell / IronPython snippets and executes them locally with your permission. Output feeds back into the conversation. Studio

3.1 Coach Personality

Each mode supports five personality styles, set via Profile → Coach Style:

4. Command Deck — 168 Revit Actions

Open the Command Deck with the DECK hex button (or D). It surfaces 168 MORECROFTS-style Revit automations grouped into 13 panels:

PanelActions
SheetsRevision increment, transmittal creation, as-built updates, sheet/view creation
Views3D → sheets, crop to section, hide by sheet, zoom to face/selection
AnnotationAuto-tag, align tags, duplicate cleanup, text-to-type conversion
AdminFind/replace, purge views, link sync, structure check, bulk delete
QACOBie pull/push, revision cross-check, database compare
Clash DetectionRun clash, import Navisworks, resolve, clear markers
ResultsClash reports, navigator, CSV export
WorkflowTransmittal generator, upload audit, launcher

Click a tile to execute the action immediately, or Shift + click to ask the coach to explain what it will do first.

4.1 How It Dispatches

Each tile maps to a unique 2–3-letter Revit keyboard shortcut. When you click a tile, 2DSUITE:

  1. Focuses the Revit window (via nut-js or AppActivate fallback);
  2. Waits 120 ms for Revit to settle;
  3. Types the shortcut letters, which Revit matches against its installed keyboard shortcut map.

6. Troubleshooting

The 2DSUITE ribbon tab doesn't appear in Revit

  1. Close Revit fully.
  2. Check the manifest exists: %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<year>\TwoDSuiteBridge.addin
  3. Check the DLL exists: %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<year>\TwoDSuite\TwoDSuiteBridge.dll
  4. If missing, reinstall 2DSUITE — the installer places both files automatically.
  5. Re-launch Revit — accept the "Load" / "Always Load" security prompt.

"Unknown publisher" SmartScreen warning during install

The installer is signed, but Windows SmartScreen reputation takes time to build for new signing certificates. Click More info → Run anyway to proceed. This warning will disappear automatically once the cert accrues enough reputation.

Launch button says "2DSUITE isn't installed"

The Revit add-in couldn't find 2DSUITE.exe on your machine. Install the desktop app from the dialog's Open download page link, or re-run the 2DSUITE installer from Autodesk App Store.

Command Deck tile does nothing

  1. Make sure Revit is the foreground window when you click the tile.
  2. Check that you've imported the merged shortcut map: Revit → Options → Keyboard Shortcuts → Import → KeyboardShortcuts-2DSUITE.xml.
  3. Verify the shortcut exists: inside 2DSUITE, hover the tile — the key code is shown top-right.

AI responses are slow / timing out

Check your internet connection and Claude API status at status.anthropic.com. If you're supplying your own API key (via Profile → API Key), verify it has credit and the correct permissions.
