3D PDF for Revit users, these tips are for you!
Explore our guest blog post from Revit expert Dan Stine, CSI, CDT to gain insights on useful tips and best practices for creating dynamic 3D PDFs from Revit.
There are now a number of options for creating 3D PDF files from Revit. I have tested a number of them, and have found Tetra4D’s 3D PDF Plugin for Revit offering to be the best thus far. In particular, it creates surfaces with Revit’s Appearance Asset (i.e. the rendering textures) and no extra lines. There are also a number of options related to creating templates and embedding multiple views, from the Revit model, into the PDF. In this brief blog post, I will give you a quick rundown on how this add-in works and some of the cool things you can do in Adobe Acrobat, once the 3D PDF is created. The Revit model used here is from my book Interior Design using Autodesk Revit 2014.
