BEAM - Rhino and Revit Interoperability

Enhancing BIM modelling.

A workflow to connect Rhino and Autodesk Revit.

Assign parameters, create families and move geometry across the platforms.
BEAM comes with features targeted to assist designers in the creation of models that can fully deliver the creative intent along all the data needed to bring it into the digital era of Building Information Modelling.

With an intuitive interface and plenty of options, move data and geometry with ease, no scripting required.

I got this error while launching Rhino
Rhino 7 SR19 2022-5-25 (Rhino 7, 7.19.22145.11571, Git hash:master @ caa2c82dfec916fac8d9d68494573e8d3883ef60)

Please report the conflict with @mksdtech https://www.mksdtech.com/
Do you need a link to the previous version?

We have talked to the user, uninstalling and reinstalling BEAM did the trick.

Perhaps @mksdtech would know. Or can point you to their support.

Dude, the first and only place to look for support for some obscure plugin is whoever made it.
