Revit to 3DTiles file converting

Hi all

I have a detailed structural Revit model that was modeled in Revit 2024. My task is to export the Revit model as 3D Tiles (b3dm). I’ve tried a couple of methods. First, I used the Cesium ion for Revit plug-in, but it did not export all steel elements. Then, I uploaded the IFC data to Cesium ion and encountered some geometric errors, especially with the circular surfaces.

I would also like to automate this entire data export process. Therefore, I am wondering if there is any way to use Dynamo for file type conversion.

Thank you in advance.

Haven’t seen anyone do this yet, but assuming the b3dm file format is openly published it should be attainable. You’ll likely have to build it out yourself though.

Hi @bimproject11_esc i have basic export with dynamo to gltf or glb, and if i remember that should be easy to convert to b3dm…what is it for ?

Thank you @sovitek I will definitely try that. The customer wants to locate this model to exact position on earth and this is the format they use. With this method I assume, I will still need a method to transform glb to b3dm. I will try and check if there is any missing elements when I use glb.

yeah guess we can export to direct to b3dm as well with dynamo. but havent tried, and if i remember that kind need info from 2 files the b3dm itself and a Tile file as json as well…isnt that right, not sure ??

PS I’m still experimenting with it, but guess / maybee its something here you’re looking for?
