How to convert Revit (.rvt,.rfa) to Unreal Engine?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Revit

Autodesk Revit is a building information modelling software tool for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers and contractors. The software allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the building model's database.

Revit is a key and core product from which Okino customers often receive and/or coordinate their data files. At Okino we have spent the good part of 2 decades writing our DWF-3D importer specifically to import large, textured files from Revit models.

Note: you would ideally pre-center the model at the origin and pre-scale the model to be of a "sane size" within Revit before exporting the DWF-3D file for Okino software consumption. This will ensure that the model displays properly in your final destination 3D software.

Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine (UE) is a popular 3D computer graphics game engine developed by Epic Games. It is available as open source and is free to use until a title earns a specific dollar value in revenue.

Okino has long supported Unreal Engine as the first and main 3D conversion program to do so. In the simplest terms possible, conversion from Okino software to Unreal Engine is done via the FBX file format.

For those who may be unaware of Okino software, for over 30+ years we have been the pioneer 3D conversion company that wrote the rule book on how DCC, animation and MCAD data is to be cross-converted between all major 3D programs and file formats. Key uses of our software for Unreal users has been for the conversion of all major MCAD data formats into a highly optimized and efficient form for realtime usage within the Unreal Engine. We also invented the processes for animation + skinning/bones cross conversion so that is well supported for Unreal Engine. As a minor point of interest, Okino was also the very first implementor of the FBX file format as of 2002, long before Autodesk bought the bankruptcy assets of Alias Research and provided free access to the FBX SDK; hence, we provide highly reliable and robust FBX v5/v6/v7 support.
