Thisis just a warning to anyone wishing to purchase ArchiCAD START edition. I was falsely told by Graphisoft that START supports Twinmotion but after failing to install the Datasmith Plugin and manually installing it over and over again, I got this official response from Epic:

Unfortunately, at this time we have found that there are issues that are preventing the manual installation of the Archicad Datasmith plugin. This prevents installing the plugin through any means other than the installer, making it impossible to install the plugin for Archicad START. We are working with Archicad to find a solution for this issue but unfortunately, until we can find a solution, it won't be possible to use Datasmith with Archicad START.

Are you able to export/save using FBX from the 3D Window. If so that means that you don't need the Datasmith plugin since FBX is the "native" file and some users prefer using it instead of the "official" plugin.

Not sure. I will have a look at this tonight. If not, I will just ask for a refund on the software because I specifically told my sales representative that this was of importance to me, and he said to me that Twinmotion works fine. Then I had someone suggest from the team to use START 22 instead because it works on that edition... pretty pathetic.

Yeah i'm regretting my purchase to be honest. Will most likely just asked for a refund.

Their aggressive pricing and price increases each year made me resolves to this cheaper version.

I feel very cheated by the company because I was quoted for the full version a couple years back whilst studying at Holmesglen and the price they wanted this year was 50% more (i'm not kidding) than what was quoted before. And then I was sold this version after being promised Twinmotion support and I've wasted many hours trying to solve the issue and have gotten nowhere.

With Twinmotion for Revit, create the scenes, animations and AR/VR experiences that tell the story of your design. A live auto-sync connection between the Revit model and Twinmotion puts pixel-perfect visualization at your fingertips.

Twinmotion for Revit brings real-time visualization 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 visualization process can then be continued in Twinmotion. As the Revit model progresses, changes can be synchronized back into Twinmotion to update the design with the latest Revit changes.

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: visualization 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.

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 visualize design factors like traffic corridor flow, pedestrian circulation at transit hubs, lighting, and more. To see it in action, check out the on-demand webinar "Visualization for Civil Infrastructure Design in Twinmotion."

Using the Direct Link command in Twinmotion for Revit, file data from a Revit 3D View can be sent directly to Twinmotion for visualization. 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.

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, check out the article About Visualization with Twinmotion in Revit product help.

Twinmotion for Revit is an entitlement included with all Revit subscriptions, giving Revit subscribers access to Twinmotion at no additional cost. This is subject to change depending on the Twinmotion pricing model. Read the latest updates here: Read the latest updates here.

Twinmotion for Revit connects the photo-real visualization 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.\r\n"}]},"@type":"Question","name":"How can I get Twinmotion for Revit?","acceptedAnswer":["@type":"Answer","text":"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.
