Iuse Hover.to to make Sketchup models of existing houses from photos for remodel projects. I import that Sketchup model into a Revit generic model family and then insert that in my model file. It's a great way to quickly get the "existing" house into Revit without modeling it. However sometimes I notice little things in the Sketchup file that need a little tweek here or there - but it seems like the Sketchup file can only be inserted into the family, not linked... so after you change it, you can't reload it (like you can with image files), or can you? Is the only way to update it to delete the Sketchup model out of the family and re-insert it in the same location? Screenshot for interest.

The Planning Department GIS Lab maintains a 3D model of the city available for public download. The 3D model is constructed of several components: Terrain, Groundplan, and 3D models of buildings. Each of the city-model components is made available in open-source data formats, and as an all-in-one SketchUp format model that combines all of the components in one model per tile that can be imported with into most modeling tools.










Explore our complete 3D Data Documentation for detailed information about our city model and its components. Download the Citywide Sketchup Tile Grid to place individual Sketchup tiles in a geolocated citywide grid.


KML/KMZ is a common format for sharing geopositioned 3D models. My office publishes a large amount of this content. Some of it we create; some we receive from partners - so simply removing KML/KMZ from the business process is not a possibility.


Currently, when a KMZ model is loaded into a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro (imported into a 3D multipatch), the analyst must go through a process of determining the objective elevation of the multipatch, and then perform a manual move by editing the Z-value. If this is not done prior to publication as a 3D web scene in Portal, the service will render the model at a 0/MSL altitude, causing it to draw "under" the elevation source in the web scene.


This process could be made so much better. I would like to see the following functionality: if a model is loaded in Pro and its elevation setting is set to "on the Ground"; then publishing that model as a web scene should cause the multipatch to inherit whatever that elevation value is.


On Windows and macOS, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook support inserting 3D models directly into your documents, workbooks or presentations to illustrate a point. You can rotate models 360 degrees or tilt up and down to show a specific feature of an object.


When you insert a 3D model into your Office file you'll get a contextual tab on the ribbon under 3D Model Tools called Format. On the format tab there are some handy controls to help you customize how your 3D images are going to look.


If you've got multiple 3D models and you're having trouble selecting the one you want to work with, click the Selection Pane to turn on the list of objects. Then you can easily select the image or images that you want to select.


Pan & Zoom gives you control of how your 3D image fits within the frame. Click the Pan & Zoom button, then click and drag the object within the frame to move it. Use the Zoom arrow on the right-side of the frame to make the object appear larger or smaller within the frame.


In Outlook 2019 or newer, you can insert 3D models into an email message. To use this feature you have to be using the full-sized message editor. If you create a new email you'll already be using it, but if you are replying to a message in the reading pane you'll need to click Pop Out to expand the message editor to full-size. Then you can go to the Insert tab and click 3D Models.


One important thing to remember is that the other person won't be able to edit the model you insert in the message. 3D models in emails are converted into pictures when sent, so the other person can't edit it.


If you've got multiple 3D models and you're having trouble selecting the one you want to work with, open the Selection Pane to turn on the list of objects (Home tab > Arrange > Selection Pane). Then you can easily select the image or images that you want to select.


Select any 3D model you've inserted in Office for Windows Mobile and you should see a 3D Model tab appear on the ribbon. Here you'll find tools that let you rotate your model a preset amount (you can always just use your mouse to manually rotate it exactly the way you want, if you prefer), or make other changes.


Wrap text controls how text will flow around your 3D model on the page. Perhaps you want your model to stand alone and for text to only be above or below it? Perhaps you want the 3D model to only take part of the screen and for text to flow alongside it as well? This tool lets you make those choices.


Forward or Backward let you arrange how other objects on the page appear with your 3D model. For example, if you wanted to add an arrow shape and have it appear on top of your model, pointing at something, you could send the 3D model backward and bring the arrow shape forward, so that the arrow appears on top of your 3D model. Forward and Backward let you have multiple layers of images or objects.


Size and Position give you some tools that let you precisely resize your 3D model. If you need the 3D model to be exactly 4.12 inches tall that may be difficult to do by dragging the mouse, but in the Size and Position tool you can type the exact height and width you want. You can also use this tool to rotate your model, around any or all 3 of the axes, to a precise degree.


After you've made changes to your model you may decide that you want to undo the changes you made. The Reset button on the right end of the 3D Model tab will let you put the model back the way it was before you started changing it.


Microsoft 365 doesn't have traditional clip art, but 3D models are a new kind of clip art: The online library of ready-to-use three-dimensional graphics has many graphics to choose from that you can use as-is or adapt.


Building 3D models for a plant is very expensive and to render them is very resource intensive task. Furthermore it has to integrate with Ignition gateway for real time data. Although ABB have developed a 3D model interface to their DCS system on XBOX gaming platform using surface modelling, but its very expensive proposition.


We have developed a simple virtual tour module for Ignition which uses a panoramic imaging approach to perform plant virtual tour while looking at the real time plant data on the images of plant equipment like pumps/valves/breakers etc. Please see description of this module on exchange portal Ignition Exchange Inductive Automation. (New link )


Newer version of this is available which can run on a separate server in Integrated mode with Ignition as well as standalone mode. Future versions will have a support to Lidar based model of the plant.


However, what if the big dogs want to see visual information, such as custom graphs and embedded 3D models? I worked on Vision/Perspective projects that are essentially full fledged ERP systems that are custom built for certain businesses. Sometimes, managers/president/CEO want to see a high-level overview of the plant, in which case an SVG 2D model or a 3D model would accomplish that goal.


In safety critical systems, situational awareness is what matters, as this is what will influence whether the operator can identify a potential looming warning situation, and react if a warning situation has already begun, and react to it quickly to resolve the root cause. If the SCADA system is full of useless complicated colourful graphics and information, that just impedes an operator's ability to identify and fix the problems


if you really want a 3d model, i suggest you try unity/unreal engine (4)

and upload it there, they have the abilty to export to html5. Which you then could add into perspective. with the webmodule i guess. or in an component

How ever that is going to be quite the project xd and loading times for a big model will take long. As it would have to download it everytime the client reopens the page. How ever ones it is loaded things should go fast (if you did not make it to detailed)


This has been removed from exchange portal as it's not a perspective module a traditional sense. Please have a look at link for an introduction to this module. Please let me know if you have any specific questions.
