Revizto users that have sufficient rights can import models from files. This feature is available only on PC.

You can also import models from third-party products.

Supported file formats

Revizto supports importing models from files that have the following formats:

  • Autodesk Filmbox (.fbx)
  • Industry Foundation Classes (.ifc)
  • Wavefront OBJ (.obj)
  • AVEVA PDMS (.rvm)
  • Point cloud: ReCap, Faro, and LAS (.rcp, .rcs, .fls, .fws, .lsproj, .laz, .las)
  • 12d Model (.12dxml)

Revizto supports the following IFC specifications:

  • IFC2×3 TC1 files (including earlier versions like IFC 20LF and IFC2×2)
  • IFC 4 Add2 TC1
  • IFC 4.1
  • IFC 4.2
  • IFC 4.3

Revizto does not support import from compressed IFC files (*.ifczip).

Importing models from files

To import models from files:

  1. In the Revizto application, open a project.
  2. At the top of the window, go to Project > Import.
  3. Select files and click Open.

  4. For each file, select whether you want to append it as a new model or update an existing model of this type, and then click OK.

    If your project does not contain any models, Revizto skips this step.

  5. Specify the import settings and click OK.

    The assortment of settings depends on the file type. If you select multiple non-IFC files, Revizto skips this step and imports the models with the default settings.

    Setting Description Default value Can be changed in Revizto after import
    Empty object properties

    Allows import of object properties that are intentionally left blank. 


    Empty values are displayed in the Properties pane, Favorites, Selection inspector, CSV exports, and Search Sets.

    		 No No
    Textures

    Presence and/or quality of textures.

    Textures of the selected quality will be imported if they are available for the original model.

    Standard textures (for .fbx files)

    No textures (for .obj files)

    		 No
    Units

    Measurement units.

    Some model file types store distances without measurement units, so you have to specify the units during the import.

    		 Meters Yes
    Quality The distance between points in a point cloud. High quality (6 mm) No
    Origin position The offset that applies to the model’s origin. 0, 0, 0 Yes
    Rotation

    Model rotation.

    Specify a vector and an angle. The vector sets the direction of the rotation axis.

    Angle: 0

    Vector: 0, 0, 1

    		 Yes
    Coordinate system

    The method of aligning the models with Revizto origin.

    We recommend that you select the same value for all models in your project. This minimizes the need for manual adjustments.

    		 Site location Yes

    Enabling Empty object properties will noticeably reduce Revizto performance and increase your project size. We suggest to keep this option disabled, unless necessary, to maintain performance.

  6. Wait until the import is completed.
