Plugin for Revit Tweet

[Ian.Kidston]

Hi All,

Just wanted to check if there had been any further advancement of a plugin for Revit. Exporting to Max via fbx, reassigning all the materials and then exporting to obj from max to then once again reassign all of the materials in Octane is doing my head in

Revit is my weapon of choice for designing building. I love Octane and am desperate not to be forced to learn 3dsMax....Please help

Cheers,

Ian

I believe however, Autodesk will never allow this... After observing its monopolistic policy i have to say - forget it! Revit code is something protected and secret.
I wish anybody proved I'm wrong!

Well, we can't do the work ourself and need someone who writes the plugin. If you know someone, we would be very happy to get in contact with him/her.

Cheers,
Marcus

You're wrong.

All someone needs to do is write a plugin. Revit's API is .NET based, and would support an export function just fine.

There isn't anything 'big bad Autodesk' is doing to prevent it. It's just a lot of work to do, and those who need it (Revit users) don't know how to program, so... there you go. No plugin for us.

Full integration? Probably not, but it's not like we've got that with Octane with any other platform anyways.
