Export Revit Model to Google Earth

[DEI-Miller]

We recently purchased a license for the Architecture, Engineering, & Construction Collection. Slowly trying to get familiar with all the different software. What is the best/easiest way to export a Revit 2019 model (as kmz/kml) into Google Earth? I tried the fbx to Navisworks to kmz route but the model displays in bits and pieces. I've read numerous posts about using SketchUp but would prefer not to buy more software for one specific task.

Yep...SketchUp is your only option.

Forget CAD-Earth and other similar tools. Colleagues had the same needs and tested various software, but only Plex.Earth was giving the results they needed.

For example, apart it's very user friendly, it's the only one that allows you to export 3D models along with texture and material. Take a look at the below video (see after 1:20 for export).

You only have to import your Revit model into AutoCAD.

You can give it a try here:

Hope it helps!

FME by Safe software can be used to translate FBX model to KML/KMZ
