The Revit plugin is a plugin developed by Dalux that integrates into Revit, supporting a variety of functions like uploading models and drawings, creating comments, and the Model validation feature.
This article will explain how to create comments from Revit and how to use it with Model validation.

How to create and update comments
More info
If you want to learn more about comments, you can read this article about: How to set up Comments.
In Comments you can select for which of your projects you want to view, update or create comments:
Once you have selected your project, a menu column will appear on the right side of the window.
To add a comment, select Add comment and create a new comment just like you would do directly in Dalux, by choosing a type, the communication channel, responsibility, and other information:
To view existing comments, you can choose a folder and select the entry. You will see a preview of the redlined snapshot in the bottom of the window. To open the comment in full screen and display all the information that goes with the snapshot, simply double-click the comment.
In this window you are also able to edit or reply to that comment, and even close it if the issue is solved and you have the necessary rights.
Model validation integration
The Revit plugin also integrates with the Model validation feature of Dalux. Using this integration, you can easily make changes to your Revit model based on clash checks or metadata checks from Dalux.
To do this, open Revit and open the Revit file that matches the model in your Dalux project. Then click ModelValidation, which opens a 'model validation-only' Dalux Desktop instance where you can do clash checks.
From here you can perform clash checks to see where issues arise, and then click Open in Revit in Dalux, under Model validation (desktop app only). This will open Revit and go directly to the location of the selected object in Revit:
With the object selected and the information from the clash check, you can correct the errors in the model/metadata.
