Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before installing ArchiMind. Can't find your answer? Email support@archimind.io.
What building code does ArchiMind check?
ArchiMind checks the California Building Code — specifically CBC 2025 and CBC 2022. You choose the edition at the start of each run. This is a California-specific tool. If your projects are in other states, the checks will not match your local amendments. IBC support is on our roadmap.
Which versions of Revit does it support?
ArchiMind supports Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 on Windows 10 and 11. One installer covers all four versions. macOS is not supported — Autodesk Revit is Windows-only.
What does the CBC Analysis check specifically?
The analysis covers CBC Chapter 10 egress requirements (door widths, corridor widths, travel distance, occupant load, required exit count), Chapter 5 allowable height and area per construction type, plumbing fixture counts, and room-level occupancy assignment. Results include a Fix button for door-width failures and a Draw Guide Lines option that marks violations on your floor plan view.
Does ArchiMind require an internet connection inside Revit?
Yes. The compliance engine runs on ArchiMind's servers — your Revit model data is sent over an encrypted connection, analyzed, and results are returned to the add-in. Your .rvt file is never uploaded; only the extracted geometry and element data is transmitted.
How is the license key delivered?
After a successful checkout, a license key in the format ARCM-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is generated automatically and shown on your Download & Install page inside your ArchiMind account. It usually appears within a few seconds of payment. If it's not showing after 2 minutes, refresh the page or contact support.
Can I use one license on multiple computers?
Solo plan licenses are single-seat. You can install the add-in on multiple machines but only one can be active at a time. The Firm plan ($199/mo) covers up to 5 seats with shared billing. Enterprise covers unlimited seats.
What does the HTML report export contain?
The HTML report is a formatted compliance summary suitable for permit submittals or client deliverables. It lists all check results by category (egress, height/area, plumbing), flags violations with the relevant CBC code section, and includes room-level occupancy assignments. It opens in any browser and can be printed to PDF.
Does ArchiMind work with linked Revit models?
The current version analyzes the active model. Rooms, walls, doors, and windows in linked models are not included in the analysis. This is on our roadmap for a future release.
Is there a free trial?
We offer a 14-day free trial on the Solo plan. Sign up, choose Solo at checkout, and you will have full access to run CBC checks for 14 days before your card is charged.
How do I cancel?
Email support@archimind.io at any time. We cancel immediately and you retain access until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.
What happens to my data?
Geometry data extracted from your model is used to run the compliance check and is stored in your project history for 90 days. We do not share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Will ArchiMind support other building codes in the future?
Yes. IBC and other jurisdiction support is on our roadmap. Sign up at archimind.io and we will notify you when your jurisdiction is available.
