GeoExporter
GeoExporter is a powerful Revit plugin developed by Softpane. It allows users to export geometric data from Revit models to a wide range of file formats. This tool is designed to support interoperability between different software applications used in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
Currently it support exporting to
Wide Range of Export Formats:
User-Friendly Interface: Selection options including all elements in view, multiple elements, or selection by rectangle. Built-in visualizer for reviewing geometry before exporting.
Detailed Export Options: Select view detail and category selection for filtering elements.
Scenario:
An architecture firm is working on a complex building model in Revit. The project requires collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including engineers, contractors, and designers, who use different software tools. The firm needs to export the geometric data to various formats for seamless integration into their respective workflows.Solution:
The firm uses GeoExporter to export the Revit model geometry to the required formats. Here’s how they utilized the tool:Selection: The user selects specific views and categories within the Revit model to export, ensuring only relevant data is included.
Visualization: Before exporting, the user reviews the geometry using the visualizer to confirm accuracy.
Export: The user exports the geometry to multiple formats such as STL for 3D printing, FBX for integration with 3D rendering software, and OBJ for sharing with design collaborators.
GeoExporter proves to be an invaluable tool for AEC professionals, enhancing workflow efficiency and ensuring seamless interoperability across different software platforms. Its user-friendly interface and extensive range of supported file formats make it a must-have plugin for Revit users.
