Different materials may also be combined for certain building elements, so you should assign a unique color to the material that you do not want to be merged before exporting the model.ĥ.1: Why can't you see the model after importing and placing it in your Scene?.Please note that textures are not transferred correctly from Revit LT to Lumion due to Autodesk limitations in the exported.
Revit LT 2017 and Lumion 6.5 or 7.x: Please install DWGToLumionBridge2017 and export to.Revit LT 2018-2021 and Lumion 8.0-9.5: Please install DWGToLumionBridge2018 and export to.Lumion 10.0 and newer: No plug-in installation is necessary.External Link: Is it possible to use plugins or add-ins in Revit LT?Ĥ.1: Install the DWG plug-in in Lumion if you are using version 9.5 or older:.
Revit LT does not support other plugins such as our LiveSync for Revit plugin. Merge the same material in linked Revit models to a single material in the model for Lumion.If ticked, IFC surfaces will use far fewer materials which can help prevent very low framerates in Lumion.Please note that section planes in Revit are not supported when this tickbox is ticked. This tickbox lets you export railings, roofing elements and structural elements with fewer details to prevent Revit from crashing.Optimize railings and structural elements: Skip interior details: If you select this option then these Revit Categories are not exported: This tickbox is only required for legacy naming conventions and should normally never be ticked.Knowledge Base: How do you replace imported 'proxy' objects with Library objects?.There is more information about this process in the following article: This tickbox should only be ticked if you have prepared a special model for 'node' replacement in Lumion.This tickbox should remain ticked if you need to import the. If ticked, all of the textures that are used by the Revit model will be placed in a folder in the same location as the.For that reason, we recommend setting the slider to the lowest possible value that still ensures that curvy objects look reasonably smooth.Setting it to the maximum value can have a serious impact on the time it takes to import the model as well as on performance and render speeds in Lumion.The Surface Smoothing slider lets you define how detailed curvy surfaces should be.If you choose Survey point as the Insertion Point, then 'true North' is taken into account.
If you choose Base point as the Insertion Point, then 'project North' is taken into account.The Lumion exporter settings let you define one of those as the Insertion Point in Lumion. In Revit, you can mark the Base Point and Survey Point in your project.This file can be imported directly into Lumion.ģ.3: If you hold down the Shift key when clicking on the Export button, you will see more options:
However, if you prefer to export your model via a file (or if you are using Lumion 8.0 and older), you can export a Lumion Collada file (.DAE) file from Revit using the Lumion LiveSync for Revit Export button in the palette. DAE format as it is faster and requires fewer resources. (If you are using Lumion 8.0 and older, please see Method B below)ģ.1: We recommend exporting the model via LiveSync rather than via. Make sure that you have selected a ' Perspective 3D View' in Revit (see also section 5.12 below) before clicking on the LiveSync button.
