Select the exact application document Ideatura should work in. For example, choose the Revit project where you want grid dimensions added.

​
1. Select an app

To work in Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino or Blender, open Connected Apps and select the exact document you need. This example has a Revit document selected. Choose No apps for a task that uses only attached files. You can also name a running application in your request. Ideatura can find and connect it; if several documents match, it asks which one you mean. Disconnecting a document removes it from the chat and leaves the application open. If a document is marked Read-only, open a writable copy before requesting changes. Full Studio window with Connected Apps open and the Garden Office Revit document selected.

​
2. MCP connections

MCP connects another AI application to tools provided by Ideatura. Skip this section if you are working directly in Studio. For that separate connection, follow its setup guide and check Settings → MCP → Enable MCP server; it is enabled here. Full Studio window on the MCP settings tab, with Enable MCP server checked and the setup prompt below.

​
3. Recover connections

Read the message to identify which connection needs attention. If Studio shows Waiting for Revit / Check Revit to continue, switch to Revit and check for a dialog needing a response. The tooltip asks you to check and close open dialogs. The message identifies waiting execution; it does not establish the cause or confirm that the task completed. Full Studio window showing Waiting for Revit and Check Revit to continue, with a tooltip asking to check and close open dialogs. Confirm the application is running and the document you need is open. Recheck the selected document in Connected Apps before continuing. If no dialog is visible and blocking persists, keep the message and follow Troubleshooting.

​
4. Application capabilities

Before choosing an application, check its supported version, setup requirements and the operation you need. Reading a file, editing native elements and exporting a result require different capabilities. Check Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino or Blender for application-specific requirements. Check the task’s inputs and output format before running it. Revit 2019 and 2020 sessions receive an automatic Legacy label with the tooltip “Legacy Revit version. Some functions are not available”.

​
5. Define the task scope

Tell Ideatura what you want changed and what should stay unchanged, such as “Dimension the grids in this view only.” Inspect the result in the connected application before continuing. See Prompting for more detail.
