VE Tech Tips - Revit to VE via Pollination Plug-In

VE Tech Tips - Revit to VE via Pollination Plug-In

This VE Tech Tip explores how to use the Pollination tool within Revit, to easily export accurate geometry, for import into the VE. It covers:

  • How to use the Pollination plug-in to transfer geometry from Revit to the VE
  • Work through each step of the process
  • Consider the impact of different settings on the geometry export from Revit
  • Export in GEM format, which is the native geometry only file format for the VE

The .GEM file only contains geometry information, so there is no need to set the construction data in Revit prior to export – this can be done quickly and easily within the VE using Apache.

Watch the video on Revit to IESVE via Pollination below.

This is a follow on from the Tech Tip on preparing a Revit model for geometry export using gbXML, that you can watch here.
