# RAY

With RAY you can transfer geometry, materials, and parameters from Revit into Rhino. The imported elements are organized into Rhino layers according to their Revit categories, making the model easier to navigate and manage.

Rhino layer exported by Revit can be customized with a layer mapping:

{% content-ref url="/pages/nipVYitAoKYuA2rkcnAr" %}
[Layer Mapping](/beam/beam-for-revit/ray/layer-mapping.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Exporting Revit information

RAY supports different object types and export outputs. After choosing an option, select the elements in the Revit document that you want to transfer. The available exports include:

* Edges
* Grids and curves
* Solid elements
* Adaptive components represented as polylines and points with their Mark values
* Revit materials and parameters

It is also possible to generate new materials and parameters in Rhino directly from the parameter data available in the Revit document.

Once the export is complete, use [RAY](/beam/beam-for-rhinoceros/ray.md) for Rhino to import the geometry. The elements will appear with the assigned layers, materials, and parameters, ready for further modeling or coordination work.
