Go from Snaptrude to Revit and back, without any rework.
Import Revit models, make changes. Export back to Revit without any data loss.
The 15-story commercial office building was conceptualized in Snaptrude, and then exported to Revit for schematic design and documentation. Explore the fidelity of the models on both tools, and their editable parametric BIM objects like walls and floors. When you’re ready, download the Snaptrude Manager to try exporting it on your own.
Snaptrude + Revit for Real-Time Teamwork
Break design silos by collaborating on models with stakeholders. Minimize delays and revisions, while speeding up project completion timelines for a more efficient overall workflow.
Move back and forth, efficiently
Avoid rework and wasted time by moving effortlessly between concept and schematic design.
Collaborate with others
Leverage Snaptrude’s cloud-based collaboration capabilities to iterate, review and sync changes across the different platforms with ease.
High fidelity to ensure seamless transfer of objects and families.
The exported models from both Snaptrude and Revit retain important geometry and object data, providing a strong basis for further design.
Directly Modify System Families
Edit standard walls, floors, ceilings, and other system families natively in Snaptrude
Use Custom Families via RFAs
Import custom doors, windows, and furniture families via RFAs with lossless metadata transfer.
Maintain Material Fidelity
Material textures are preserved when moving models between Snaptrude and Revit, keeping your designs presentation ready.
Ways to work between Snaptrude and Revit you'll love.
Conceptual design in Snaptrude and documentation in Revit.
Design in Snaptrude’s easy to use, collaborative environment. Get to a concept design 10x faster with Snaptrude’s powerful features. Move into Revit for coordination and documentation, without any reworks or data loss.
Import building shells and existing conditions from Revit for tenant improvements in Snaptrude.
Import your Revit models with existing building conditions to Snaptrude. Continue working on tenant improvements, interior architecture, retrofit and renovation design projects. Optimize space planning with Snaptrude’s built-in libraries.
Iterate back and forth in Snaptrude and Revit as you work simultaneously on different complexities of the design.
Snaptrude allows quick, collaborative design exploration while Revit provides the detail and precision needed for accurate documentation. This interoperability allows teams to work on different areas and stages of a project simultaneously.
Transfer fully editable parametric objects, and export customized objects as reference geometry.
"Snaptrude's bi-directional link with Revit is a game changer for transitioning from concept and schematic design to detailed design. Seamless import and export of building information and parametric data eliminates rework and ensures design intent is maintained throughout."
How it works
The Snaptrude Manager
The Snaptrude Manager plugin is a dedicated bridge between Snaptrude and Revit, built directly into Revit itself. It handles user authentication, export of Revit models to Snaptrude, and reconciliation of changes back to the Revit model.
Exporting custom objects via RFAs
This feature simplifies the process of transferring data, making it much more efficient. Simply open the RFA file within your Revit project and use Snaptrude manager to upload the RFA into a Snaptrude project. A new UI for RFA import ensures a smoother, more seamless workflow between Revit and Snaptrude, ultimately saving you time and effort.
