What it does
Import 3D translates models from external applications or online libraries into Revit geometry and materials. A guided workflow analyses the source file, then collects settings for units, up-axis, placement, category, materials and textures before import. Supported formats include OBJ, DAE, glTF/GLB, STL, FBX and Rhino 3DM, including Draco-compressed glTF/GLB. Materials and textures can also be reassigned on existing DirectShapes.
