Chaos Helix is a cutting-edge interoperability tool designed to bridge design environments and simplify collaborative workflows in architecture and engineering. Built for professionals who work across platforms like SketchUp, AutoCAD, Rhino, and Revit, Helix enables seamless bidirectional model conversions, preserving geometry, materials, and metadata during transfer.
This powerful plugin eliminates the time-consuming process of rebuilding models across software, allowing designers to focus on creativity and coordination instead of manual conversions. Helix supports an intuitive workflow where users can transform design assets between modeling tools and BIM platforms without losing visual or structural integrity.
Helix is especially valuable for design teams working in mixed-software environments. It allows architects to design in SketchUp or Rhino and then migrate that work into Revit as native geometry for documentation and BIM development. The reverse workflow is equally supported, giving teams the flexibility to move freely between conceptual modeling and technical detailing.
With support for real-time design updates and version synchronization, Helix enables iterative workflows that are more efficient and collaborative. Design changes made in one platform can be accurately reflected in another, supporting fast-paced decision-making and client feedback integration.
By introducing Helix into your architecture or design process, your team gains a reliable, intelligent solution for cross-platform model interoperability. It reduces rework, improves consistency, and supports a smarter, more integrated design approach.
