uBIM EncryptTool | BIM Intellectual Property Protection
uBIM EncryptTool is a robust BIM data security utility specifically engineered to protect your valuable intellectual property. By encrypting Revit model components and geometric data, it prevents unauthorized modifications, reverse engineering, and family theft.
Unlike traditional Revit export methods that suffer from irreversible data loss, uBIM EncryptTool offers a secure, closed-loop solution supporting both custom encryption rules and full decryption recovery—ensuring your .rvt and .rfa files remain completely secure throughout the project distribution and handover process.
Key Features
1. Customizable Encryption Rules
Tailor your BIM security settings to fit any collaboration scenario. Flexible configuration options include:
- Level of Detail (LOD) Control: Set specific visibility rules for Fine, Medium, or Coarse detail levels.
- Security Modes: Choose between Non-Recoverable and Recoverable encryption protocols.
- Access Control: Add secure password protection and dedicated output directory management.
- Model Optimization: Purge loadable families during encryption to reduce file size.
2. Intelligent Geometry Transformation
Protect your proprietary family data without compromising visual fidelity. The tool converts native Revit elements into encrypted models while maintaining their exact visual appearance in the project viewport. By altering the underlying parameter data structure, it effectively hides component properties and blocks unauthorized editing.
3. Closed-Loop Encryption & Decryption System
An end-to-end security solution for secure BIM collaboration. Authorized stakeholders can use a secure password to retrieve encrypted data directly from the document’s extensible storage. This process restores the Revit file back to its exact original, editable state with zero data degradation.
4. Flexible Recovery & Delivery Options
Deploy two distinct security modes tailored for different project delivery requirements:
- Non-Recoverable Mode: Ideal for final model distribution, bidding, and public viewing where the source geometric data must remain permanently locked.
- Recoverable Mode: Built for authorized editing, secure handovers, and joint ventures.
