Introduction
What is import 3D for Revit?
Import 3D for Revit is a Revit extension that translates external 3D models into native Revit geometry and Revit materials.
Why use import 3D for Revit?
It accelerates the development of 3D objects for Revit families and Revit projects by (re)-using models from other software or online libraries, saving you time and money.
Benefits
Simplicity
Import external complete 3D models including materials into families or projects with 1 click operations.
Intelligence
Autodetects and sorts the imported geometry into materials to preserve the material color and transpatency of the imported 3D models.
Performance
Higly performant code to import thousands of faces in a matter of seconds.
Features
Formats
Imports directly the most used exchange formats including GLTF, Wavefront OBJ and Collada DAE files.
Materials
The imported objects get sorted by matching Revit materials, includind the colour and transparency information.
Versatility
Works with Revit projects and Revit families.
Optimized
Extreme code optimization to allow importing complex geometry with the fastest speed.
Adaptability
Import units, optional scale and position are adjustable for each import.
Categories
Import the geometry to the Revit category of your choice.
