Privacy by design

Right on the workstation. No cloud.

All geodata is processed locally inside your Revit. GeoBridge sends no data to LichtBus or third parties. No telemetry, no cloud calls.

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. License verification runs through Autodesk's standard mechanism (Autodesk Desktop App / App Manager) — not through LichtBus. The license data exchanged flows exclusively between Autodesk and your license account; LichtBus systems receive nothing from it.

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 — that's why v1.0.0 ships as a mature bundle. If something is missing for you: get in touch.
