archi-magic (zsenarchitect)MCADConfidence: Medium

Notes from a real session: show a Revit 3D view in Claude Code, move elements with a gumball, send the moves back to Revit. It worked in the end, but the viewer page was blank when opened from the temp folder, and the user said 'apply my changes' without pasting the JSON, so the pending changes had to be scraped from the page text.
