Revit plugin data security: RayCAD runs on your machine

Security is one of the most important things we keep in mind when building automation for BIM and MEP. Your projects are confidential, and your firm carries legal obligations to the clients who give you that work. A plugin that leaks your data puts you at risk. Floor plans and other confidential data in the wrong hands can have severe consequences. We built RayCAD with that in mind, and we deal with the security questions as well as the automation.

RayCAD runs entirely on your machine

All of RayCAD's work happens on your machine. Your project data, confidential information, and model data stay there. So do your tag families, your element families, your floor plans, your views, and everything else Auto Tag runs on. None of it is sent to our servers.

You can check this yourself. Run a tool such as Wireshark while RayCAD tags a view and look at what leaves your machine.

What we collect

We collect usage telemetry only. It is counts and timings, never file names, project content, or data from your models. The privacy policy lists exactly what we collect. Even the telemetry is optional. If you do not want to share it, you can opt out.

We sign an NDA

If your firm requires an NDA, we sign it. Reach out to us and we will get it done.

We remove the risk instead of managing it

Other plugins export your data to their clouds and run the placements there. However secure they say those servers are, and however much compliance they hold, your data still goes there, and anything that leaves your machine is at risk.

RayCAD takes none of that risk. Everything runs on your machine, so your data never reaches our servers and there is nothing for us to protect or for anyone to breach. We eliminate the problem at its root. That protects you from data leaks and the legal risk that comes with them.

Security is one of the biggest blockers for firms adopting a plugin like this, and we solved it directly. See also how RayCAD runs inside Revit.
