Frequently Asked Questions

What is Twinmotion for Revit?

Twinmotion for Revit connects the photo-real visualisation capability of Twinmotion directly to the Revit design and 3D model-based coordination environment for BIM. Launch Twinmotion for Revit directly from the Revit ribbon, and sync BIM data from Revit into Twinmotion to create high-quality renderings, stills and animations.

How can I get Twinmotion for Revit?

Twinmotion for Revit is available with all Revit subscriptions, including the AEC Collection and EDU subscriptions, through the Autodesk Flex offering, and through the Revit trial. Go to the Autodesk All Products and Services page and sign in. Look for a tile labelled Twinmotion for Revit. Click Access on this tile and you’ll be taken to a download page. You will then need to accept the EULA to download the software installer. Please follow the steps provided. For detailed information on accessing Twinmotion for Revit, consult Autodesk Support (US site).

How does Twinmotion work with Revit?

Twinmotion for Revit brings real-time visualisation to BIM workflows. Use Twinmotion for Revit to produce high-quality images, panoramas, standard or 360° VR videos, and interactive presentations from design data. With Direct Link functionality and the ability to open a Revit view in Twinmotion, the changes you make in Revit update in real time to Twinmotion.

Your Revit model can be sent to Twinmotion using the Datasmith Exporter for Revit commands, included with Revit 2024. The design and visualisation process can then be continued in Twinmotion. As the Revit model progresses, changes can be synchronised back into Twinmotion to update the design with the latest Revit changes.

How do architects use Twinmotion for Revit

Architects use Twinmotion for Revit to bring their design ideas to life. Through a simple sync from Revit to Twinmotion, architects can create compelling visual content and scenes showcasing their design ideas. Common uses in architecture for Twinmotion for Revit include: visualisation and simulating design intent through renders, stills, AR/VR immersive experiences, and animations; coordinating design stakeholders and data; creating marketing materials and interactive presentations to win more work. Architects use Twinmotion for Revit to depict architectural design, environmental design, urban design, interiors and more.

How is Twinmotion for Revit used for infrastructure projects?

Twinmotion for Revit can help designers and engineers communicate design intent for infrastructure projects. By syncing BIM data for infrastructure projects in Revit to the Twinmotion creative environment, infrastructure projects can be rendered and animated to better visualise design factors such as traffic corridor flow, pedestrian circulation at public transport hubs lighting and more. To see it in action, take a look at the on-demand webinar 'Visualization for Civil Infrastructure Design in Twinmotion (US Site).'

Can I import a Revit file into Twinmotion?

Using the Direct Link command in Twinmotion for Revit, file data from a Revit 3D View can be sent directly to Twinmotion for visualisation. This live link functionality syncs Revit data to Twinmotion, ensuring that changes to the Revit model are updated to the Twinmotion creative environment. Revit data can also be transferred into Twinmotion via the Datasmith Exporter for Revit, which is included in Twinmotion for Revit versions 2024 and above. For earlier versions of Revit, the Datasmith Exporter for Revit is available as a plug-in, and can be used to move data from Revit into Twinmotion versions 2023.1 and 2023.2.

Does Twinmotion 2023 work with Revit 2023?

Twinmotion for Revit and the Open in Twinmotion command is integrated into Revit 2023.1 and above and compatible with Twinmotion 2022.2.3 and above. For Revit versions prior to 2023.1, manual transfer of Revit data into Twinmotion can be integrated manually using the Datasmith File Exporter for Revit. For more information, take a look at the article About Visualisation with Twinmotion in Revit product help.
