3D Print from Revit

Hi Arno,

Have a look here:

There are a couple of things to note…

  1. You don’t need to boolean everything… I use Cura to print and it does a fantastic job of printing a whole bunch of solids as a single print. This is much more robust than trying to union.

  2. Rooms can be extracted to ‘fill’ the voids to give you a ‘solid’ model.

  3. It isn’t necessary to have a solid model to print. For most buildings the 3D printer can print over empty space and create a floor / roof just resting on the supporting walls. The underside will be quite stringy, but this isn’t usually noticable and allows a skeleton of a building to be printed with actual rooms inside.

Hope that helps,

Mark
