![]() Although the model comes in beautifully, it does so with a 90 degree rotation. BUT life couldn’t be that easy could it? The answer is no, no it couldn’t. ![]() I was excited to see Sketchfab accepted DWF’s because this meant we could go directly from Revit to Sketchfab. ![]() ![]() After the upload you have several appearance settings you can tweak in the free version, and obviously several more in the paid version. Sketchfab then un-zips everything for you and applies the texture files to your model. You either have the option of uploading a stand alone file with no textures or ziping your model and texture files together and uploading that. It accepted a wide variety of file formats and had direct exporter plugins for many modeling programs (see full list: ). Sketchfab was by far the most powerful 3d viewer I tested. Īfter the upload you have several appearance settings you can tweak in the free version, and obviously several more in the paid version.įile formats: blend, dae, obj, fbx, dwf, osg, osgt, osgb, ive, 3ds, lwo, lws, ply, wrl, iv, shp, stl, bvh, flt, ac, x, dw, 3dc, geo, gta, kmz, vpk DWF was the only Revit exported file format that any 3d viewers worked with, so we used 3ds Max to create other file types to test. For a great article that breaks down what all of these mean and what they are intended to be used for read “Revit Output Formats in Plain English” from the IMAGINiT Building Solutions Blog. Revit will export to the following file formats: dwg, dxf, dwf, fbx, dgn, ifc, sat, adsk. The three embedded 3d model viewers we tried were… In this post I’ll share with you what exploded, what disappeared, what came really close and what ultimately worked. We tried out 3 different embed 3d model viewers and ten times as many file formats/settings. Our goal was to go in the fewest number of steps from Revit to a free 3d model viewer. That’s why our team decided to look into how to embed some of our 3d models into our site. Well maybe it could, but who realistically wants to look at that many screen shots? No matter how many screen shots you pull from a complete building model, it can never communicate all the detail of finished model.
