Experimenting with 3D models from Revit on Apple Vision Pro

- I'm running Revit on Windows 11, which is running on Parallels on a Macbook Pro, which is all mirrored to the Apple Vision Pro. The .usdz files are natively running on Apple Vision Pro and it is very fluid. I needed SimLab to export the .usdz file from Revit, you can do a trial before forking over $199. Not sure if that's yearly or just a one-time purchase, I haven't purchased it yet.

If you want to check out this one course I have, its over here at MEP Guy's website:

Wow! A sharp looking 3D rendering and panning/zooming is really fast - thanks for demonstrating this!
It's quite promising! At first I tried to load the entire building and it choked, so the best I could do was about 1000 sq ft at a time.
Can I use A Apple Vision Pro straight from my windows 11 or do I need a mac book?
Can we import .stl files into Revit on Apple Vision Pro?
Very interesting!
Bro I've been checking on updates to this workflow all the time, thanks for making the vid. I'd much prefer to own a Meta Quest than a Vision Pro, but wasn't gonna buy either til I knew if they supported this workflow. Questions:
1. Can you pin the model in real space and walk around it, so as to project a proposed model over real world existing conditions?
2. Do you have a Meta Quest and know if it supports opening models natively (GLB/USDZ)?
3. And further, does Simlab export to GLB as well?
4. Does Simlab export linked models or only your content?
I actually want to pick up a Quest 3 to see the difference. I think Enscape works with that but not the Vision Pro. At the moment I haven’t figured out a way to get into the model. I can only view it from the outside. I REALLY want to pin it in an open parking lot and walk around the floor of the virtual building. I’m going to keep trying different things until I can do something along those lines. SimLab exports whatever you see in the 3D view, so linked stuff and things in your own model. I wonder if it would export CAD underlay’s like a site plan….haven’t tried yet.
Oh and no I don’t think simlab can export GLB
@@theelectricaldepartment Good to know on all fronts. I think the big hurdle right now is that the Quest doesn't natively have a file browser. Sideloading is well documented so it's not that it'd be a problem, but finding a viewing app is scarce.
Recent Reddit research suggests Open Brush as it imports GLB and has passthrough support. Any experience with that? PS SimLab looks like it has a standalone GLTF exporter apparently.
Does Simlab also export PBR-materials? And what about showing different lighting scenarios? Super cool, thx for showing!
How are you running a Revit on a Window screen inside the Vision Pro?
Ha it’s very convoluted…I have Parallels on a Mac running Windows 11, which in turn runs Revit. Then I have that whole thing mirrored to the Vision.
What version of revit do you use?
I think this video uses 2024
@@theelectricaldepartment That's cool
Have you tried to model with them on?
Yea I have and actually will be putting out a video about why this isn’t quite ready for productive use yet, unless you’re in a very particular situation. I had my expectations pretty low considering Autodesk had very limited Mac support, so it’s understandable why we are where we are.
