Privacy by design

Right on the workstation. No cloud.

All geodata is processed locally inside your Revit. GeoBridge sends no geospatial or project data to LichtBus or third parties, no telemetry. The Free edition contains no network code and sends nothing. The Pro edition runs a one-time entitlement check with Autodesk at startup — only your Autodesk user ID and the app ID are transmitted to Autodesk, nothing to LichtBus.

The lichtbus.de platform only processes what you actively send (tickets, requests). Plugin and platform are separate.

Note on licensing GeoBridge is delivered through the Autodesk App Store. The Free edition contains no network code and makes no connection at runtime. The Pro edition runs a one-time entitlement check with Autodesk's service at startup, which also enforces your subscription — only your Autodesk user ID and the app ID are transmitted to Autodesk, nothing to LichtBus. The result is cached locally and stays valid offline for up to 14 days. LichtBus systems receive no data in any case.

From practice

Born in real BIM planning practice.

GeoBridge grew out of concrete projects. Each format addresses a real need that was missing in a BIM discipline.
DGM for outdoor lighting calculation. CityGML for city models. ALKIS parcels for site assessment. Long development time, extensively tested — a mature bundle from the start that keeps growing. If something is missing for you: get in touch.
