- Revit users preparing architectural models for 3D printing
- Worth noticing
- Each saved STL is read back and checked; the Snowdon Towers sample contains 3,937 Revit elements and reports zero open edges.
Field notes
The workflow stays inside Revit: users select the model content, choose a printer and scale, inspect a 3D preview, and save an STL. The page says the add-in can split oversized models into closed, bed-sized parts and provides a parts list; it also describes its “Best fit” option as choosing the largest scale that fits the printer. It says the source model stays local and is not changed.
