# Drafter & BIM Access Without a License

Can a drafter or BIM technician still access the Revit model without needing an ENERCALC license?

Yes. A drafter accessing the model for non-engineering tasks will not require a seat of ENERCALC. The engineer can easily create, edit, and manage ENERCALC calculations from within the Revit model while BIM staff also access the Revit model for pure drafting and modeling tasks.

To make this workflow even easier, we'll be recommending that BIM staff also install the ENERCALC for Revit add-in. It will not consume an ENERCALC license or allow access to engineering tools, but allows the engineer to be notified if changes to the model have impacted the design calculations. For example, if the drafter is shifting columns or deleting beams, this could endanger calculations already created by the engineer. It has not been announced yet whether there will be an additional charge for drafters to access the monitoring tools. These details will be documented in the ENERCALC for Revit© pricing structure when it's released.

## 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://docs.enercalc.com/efr-faq/licensing-access-and-pricing/can-a-drafter-or-bim-technician-still-access-the-revit-model.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.
