5 of the best Revit to 3DTiles tools

In the field of 3D modeling and geographic information systems (GIS), converting Revit models to 3DTiles format has become a common requirement. 3DTiles is a data format designed for network 3D visualization. It supports efficient streaming and rendering, allowing large-scale 3D scenes to be displayed smoothly in a web browser. Here are five of the best Revit to 3DTiles tools that can help users easily complete this conversion process.

1. CesiumLab
   CesiumLab is a 3D GIS visualization geographic information basic data processing platform based on BS architecture. It provides the function of BIM to 3DTiles and supports model files exported by BIM design software such as Revit. With CesiumLab, users can easily convert Revit models to 3DTiles format and display them on 3D GIS platforms such as Cesium. CesiumLab also provides a rich set of data processing tools, such as image data to map tiles, terrain data slices, etc., which can meet users' diverse data processing needs.

2. BimAngle Engine
   BimAngle Engine is a conversion engine designed for BIM data. It supports converting Revit models to multiple formats, including 3DTiles. This engine is based on Revit secondary development and can retain the model's geometric information and attribute data. When using BimAngle Engine for conversion, users only need to load the model in Revit and choose to export it to 3DTiles format. The engine also supports functions such as batch conversion and custom output path, which improves conversion efficiency.

3. RevitExportGltf
   Although it is called RevitExportGltf, this plug-in also supports converting Revit models to 3DTiles format. It is an open source plug-in based on Revit, which users can download and use for free. The plug-in provides a simple user interface and efficient conversion speed, and can retain the model's geometric shape and texture information. When using RevitExportGltf for conversion, users need to select the export format as gltf or glb (binary format of glTF), and then convert the gltf/glb file to 3DTiles format through other tools or scripts.

4. 3D Convert For Revit
   3D Convert For Revit is an online conversion tool set that supports converting Revit models to multiple 3D formats, including 3DTiles. The toolset provides an intuitive user interface and rich conversion options. Users only need to upload the Revit model file and select the target format as 3DTiles. After the conversion is completed, users can directly download the converted 3DTiles file and display it on platforms that support this format.

5. GISBox
   GISBox is a comprehensive GIS toolbox that provides a variety of GIS data processing and conversion functions, including converting Revit models to 3DTiles format. The toolbox supports multiple input and output formats to meet users' diverse data processing needs. When using GISBox for conversion, users need to first export the Revit model to an intermediate format (such as OBJ, FBX, etc.), and then use the conversion function of GISBox to convert it to 3DTiles format. GISBox also provides a wealth of data processing and analysis functions, such as terrain analysis, spatial query, etc., which can provide users with a comprehensive GIS solution.

Summary
The above five tools are all preferred solutions for converting Revit models to 3DTiles format. They each have unique functions and advantages, and can meet users' different conversion needs. When choosing a tool, users can make comprehensive considerations based on their actual situation and needs and choose the most suitable tool for use. At the same time, with the continuous development and updating of technology, these tools will continue to be improved and optimized to provide users with a more efficient and convenient conversion experience.
