Today
Governance arrives after the modelling.
Standards are issued, teams work from memory, and corrective work follows periodic review.
The control is separate from the work.
Continuous governance for BIM & IM delivery
Keep Revit models compliant while the team works.
Proactive brings project requirements into the live modelling process, helping teams catch issues earlier, maintain standards and reduce corrective work.
Available via Autodesk App Store
Get Proactive. Stay compliant. Reduce rework.
Monitor your Revit model in real time, flag issues early and resolve them before they spread.
01 Monitor Standards monitored continuously
02 Intervene Catch issues as they happen
03 Resolve Act before problems spread
01The problem
Standards exist. Continuous governance doesn't.
Standards may be clearly defined, but once delivery starts, compliance still depends heavily on people remembering them and coordinators checking periodically.
By the time an issue is found, it may already have been repeated hundreds of times.
How governance works today
- 01 Standards issued
- 02 Teams model
- 03 Issues accumulate At the same pace as the model develops.
- 04 Periodic review / audit
- 05 Corrective work
Correction returns to the model
The control arrives after the work, and the team has to go back and fix it.
02The missing layer
Governance needs to happen while the work is happening.
Periodic reviews still matter. But they cannot control the thousands of modelling and data decisions made between reviews.
Step 01
Standard
Requirements are defined.
Missing
Continuous governance
Requirements stay active.
Step 02
Model delivery
Teams keep working.
Step 03
Review
Audit provides assurance.
Audit should confirm compliance, not be the first point at which problems are found.
03A different approach
Govern while the work is happening.
Proactive brings an active governance layer into Revit through three connected capabilities.
From checking afterwards to governing continuously.
With Proactive
Governance remains part of the modelling.
Requirements stay active, issues surface earlier, and teams receive feedback while they work.
The control stays present throughout delivery.
01
Governance
Apply project requirements as the model develops.
02
Insight
See what is happening, what has been resolved and what needs attention.
03
Feedback
Give users clear guidance when their action is required.
Govern → Understand → Feed Back
04One platform
Multiple governance use cases.
Proactive is being developed as a wider BIM governance platform. Worksets are the first release, not the final destination.
01
First release
Worksets
Keep elements aligned with the project workset strategy.
02
Next capability
Coordination
Identify coordination risks early and help teams avoid clashes before they are created.
03
Proof of concept
Parameters + COBie Data Validator
Validate required project, asset and COBie information as the model develops.
04
Proof of concept
Family Validator
Check family naming, compliance and model health against defined standards.
05
Proof of concept
LoD Validator
Validate model content against agreed Level of Development requirements.
06
Platform direction
Deliverables
Extend governance beyond individual model elements to the information and outputs required for project delivery.

05The first instalment
We're starting with Worksets.
Worksets are repetitive, widely understood and fundamental to how Revit teams organise and coordinate models.
Proactive Worksets turns the project workset strategy into an active control.
Proactive Worksets
Keep worksets under control as the model develops.
Proactive evaluates new and modified elements against configured project rules. Where the correct assignment is clear, Proactive handles it. Where it isn’t, the exception is surfaced for attention.
Evaluate Proactive Worksets on a live Revit project.

How it works
Rules that make sense before they become technical.
Coordinators define the logic Proactive should follow using project-specific conditions and priorities.
If
Conditions can be combined and prioritised to reflect the project.
Then
Target WorksetThe appropriate rule is applied when the element is created or modified.
Configured per project. Applied continuously inside Revit.
Designed for real worksharing
Automation that understands worksharing.
Proactive does not blindly force changes. It recognises the conditions of a live workshared model and responds appropriately.
- Target available
- Assign
- Target closed
- Defer and inform
- Ownership unavailable
- Hold and retry
- Rule unresolved
- Surface for review
Nothing disappears silently.
When Proactive cannot complete an assignment safely, the unresolved condition remains visible and actionable.
Make unresolved conditions visible before they become hidden model problems.
Dedicated Runtime utility
Create multiple worksets in seconds.
Create Worksets is a dedicated Runtime command for quickly setting up or reproducing a workset structure.
Paste a list of workset names and create everything that is missing.
Copy user worksets from one model and reuse the structure elsewhere.
- Existing worksets skipped
- Duplicates suppressed
- System worksets excluded
Project-specific configuration
Governance should reflect the project.
Different projects, and different models, can require different rules. Proactive allows coordinators to define the standards that should apply during delivery.
Config Manager
DefineRuntime
ApplyRuntime reads the prepared configuration and applies it inside Revit.
06Why Proactive
Move governance upstream.
Catch issues when they happen instead of waiting for the next review.
- Fewer repetitive corrections
- Resolve problems before they multiply across the model.
- Earlier intervention
- Surface issues while they are still easier to address.
- Greater visibility
- See what Proactive is doing and where attention is required.
- Less reliance on memory
- Turn documented requirements into active project controls.
Does this reflect the problems you see on live projects? Your feedback helps shape Proactive around real BIM delivery.

Proactive Coordination
Do not detect the clash. Avoid it.
Traditional clash detection tells you where coordination has already failed.
Proactive Coordination is being developed to identify coordination risk while the model is changing, giving teams an opportunity to respond before a clash is created.
Govern. Understand. Intervene earlier.
Help shape the next Proactive capability.

08The bigger direction
Worksets are only the beginning.
The same continuous-governance approach can be applied to other recurring BIM and information-management challenges.
