Export Revit models to FBX files for import into Showcase. Follow the guidelines described here for best interoperability with Showcase.

Views

In Revit, make sure you are in a 3D view before exporting to FBX.

Cameras

You can only export one camera at a time. The camera in the active 3D view at the time of export is the camera that is saved to the FBX file.

Geometry

To exclude certain geometry from the export, hide it using the "Hide in view" feature or the Visibility/Graphic Overrides window. Using Temporary Hide/Isolate does not exclude geometry from the export.

Unsupported items

The following Revit features and elements are not supported in Showcase:

• 2D line work
• Lights
• Design options are not fully supported
• Phases are not fully supported
• Entourage (RPC) is not fully supported

Number of objects

Should you experience performance issues in Showcase while working with your Revit geometry, consider combining geometry in the Showcase Organizer to reduce the number of objects. It is best to do this once you are sure you will not need to re-import the data from Revit. Updating and re-importing data that has already been combined in Showcase will likely result in many visual issues.

Another alternative is to break the Revit model into multiple parts and import them separately. For example, export a building view that has everything hidden except the first floor. Then export a view that has everything hidden except the second floor, and so on. Then you can optimize each file in Showcase before importing the next.
