Are there any known issues with this product?
- For the English language Revit
- There is some size limit for the mesh -- about 150000 faces. It can be worked around by simplifying one’s mesh, etc.
- Meshes should be manifold -- one continuous surface.
- Some aspects of the OBJ format such as smoothing are not imported. This can be worked around by editing and exporting from mesh software like MeshLab
- Groups defined in the OBJ are imported as separate shapes
- Some meshes or data in OBJ files may be incompatible with Mesh Import
- Resultant shapes can neither be mirrored nor scaled in Revit
Is there additional support information provided?
