WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Revit teams need to export BIM models to FBX for real-time visualization, game engines, and rendering software, but Revit's built-in FBX export lacks granular control over quality, mesh tessellation, and material/texture preservation. Engineers and visualization specialists spend time manually adjusting exports to achieve acceptable quality and compatibility with downstream tools like 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, and rendering platforms.

The Solution

Provides granular control over FBX export with adjustable mesh quality, tessellation settings, and material/texture preservation. Includes advanced features like rebar entity support, component hierarchy preservation, and support for face-level colors and transparency. Offers three license tiers (locked per-machine, floating multi-machine, and automation-grade) to fit various team sizes and workflows.

Exactly what this tool uses and how

Input

What it needs

Required: Revit model (.rvt), Selection of elements to export (or entire model)

Optional: Material assignments, Texture maps, Visibility settings, Component hierarchy definitions

Formats: Revit models (.rvt), Material libraries, Texture images

Output

What you get

Format: FBX file (ASCII or Binary format)

Fields: Solid geometry from Revit elements, Material and color information, Texture mappings with UV coordinates, Component hierarchy structure, Rebar entities (if exported), Element properties (optional), Face-level colors and transparency, Customizable scale and rotation

Algorithm

How it works

Model: Tessellation-based geometry conversion with material mapping

Accuracy: Geometry fidelity depends on tessellation precision setting (user-configurable); material accuracy matches Revit material definitions

Privacy
