Add Lumion to your workflow
It's easy to get started
You can easily create a real-time connection between Revit and Lumion with the free Lumion LiveSync plugin. This allows you to model and render in real-time with instant viewport synchronization. While LiveSync creates a faster, more seamless experience, you can also export your project as a collada .dae file and import your Revit model into Lumion by following these simple steps.
Lumion LiveSync is a free plug-in that enables you to create a seamless connection between Revit and Lumion. It makes it possible to model and visualize simultaneously so that whenever you make changes to your Revit model, they are immediately visible in Lumion's editor or preview mode.
Lumion LiveSync is free to use, but you'll need to have a Lumion Standard or Lumion Pro Subscription. You can also test it first with our free 14-day trial.
LiveSync is also available for other CAD software like Sketchup, Archicad, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, and more.
In addition to the real-time LiveSync plug-in, Lumion also offers seamless import of native SketchUp (.skp) files. Plus, if you need to export your SketchUp models as a different file types, such as .dwg, .dae or .fbx, it's easy to then import all of your models into one Lumion project.
Need to make some alterations to your SketchUp design? With just a click, you can reload the model into your Lumion project without losing any of your previous work.
With a free trial! You’ll get unrestricted, 14-day access to the latest features and content of Lumion Pro for 14 days. It's perfect for getting to know the software and testing it with your own Revit projects or by exploring the built in example scenes.
