# 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:

[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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.mksdtech.com/beam/beam-for-revit/ray.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
