Interoperability & import
Bring the outside world into your model.
Link IFC, import 3D geometry, generate terrain from Lidar and load national planning data — with materials, accuracy and control intact.

Four tools for getting geometry, IFC and site data into Revit cleanly — and keeping it under control.
Archi's interoperability tools for Revit link IFC models with advanced options (Link IFC Pro), import OBJ, DAE and GLTF geometry with materials intact (Import 3D), generate accurate terrain surfaces from Lidar point clouds (Topography), and load Norwegian SOSI reguleringsplan zoning data straight into Revit. All run inside Autodesk Revit 2019–2027.
For BIM coordinators and architects working with IFC, 3D geometry and site data

Why teams pick this stack
Import without losing fidelity.
Materials and accuracy intact
Geometry, IFC and terrain come in with the detail and materials you expect — not a flattened mess.
Control over what links
Advanced IFC linking gives predictable visual quality across versions and authors.
Site data, ready to build on
Lidar terrain and Norwegian planning data land as usable context, not a separate workflow.

FAQ
Import & interoperability, answered
What 3D file formats can I import into Revit?
Import 3D brings OBJ, DAE and GLTF geometry into Revit with materials intact, so models from other tools arrive usable rather than flattened.
Does Link IFC Pro improve IFC visual quality?
Yes. Link IFC Pro adds advanced linking options that give predictable visual quality across IFC versions and authors, rather than the inconsistent results of a plain link.
Can I generate terrain from Lidar point clouds?
Yes. Topography builds accurate terrain surfaces in Revit directly from Lidar point-cloud data, so site context comes in as something you can build on.
Is SOSI Regulering specific to Norway?
Yes. SOSI Regulering loads Norwegian reguleringsplan (zoning) data straight into Revit. The other interoperability tools work with international IFC, geometry and Lidar formats.
