Aura Interact GLB GLTF Metadata Exporter helps Revit users prepare BIM model data for immersive visualization(For Unity, Unreal and other realtime 3D engine) and other 3D workflows.

The add-in exports model geometry to GLB GLTF files and creates metadata JSON files for Revit categories and objects. It also supports optional texture fallback handling, unit selection, rotation options, and mesh optimization.

Users can run exports manually from the Revit ribbon by opening a model, selecting the XR BIM tab, and clicking Export GLB GLTF files. The export dialog lets users choose output location and export options before any files are written.

For controlled automation workflows, the add-in also supports command-line launched export. Normal Revit model opening does not start an export. Automation runs only when Revit is started with an explicit automation flag, for example:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2024\Revit.exe" "C:\Users\username\Downloads\eskandari.rvt" -output "C:\Users\username\Downloads\Revit_Floorplan\eskandari.glb"

This makes the add-in suitable for batch processing while preserving normal Revit behavior for users who are opening models for design, review, or coordination work.

Primary outputs:

• GLB model file
• GLTF model file
• addIn_categories.json
• addIn_objects.json
• automation log file when launched in automation mode

The add-in runs locally in Revit and does not require a cloud service for export.
