Recently my company was updating our pitch documents and brochures that we give to potential clients. We didn’t want to show just drawings, or photos of the finished building, but also show some cool 3D images from within our Revit models . You know the type i’m talking about, flash looking buildings, shadows, realistic materials, sky in the background etc. As I was creating these presentation images I realized it wasn’t as easy as I thought! But after a while I got the hang of it and I think i got some pretty good images. In this blog post I’ll show you some of tips i picked up and how you can show off your Revit models with awesome 3d presentation views.

How to create revit 3d presentation views

So the first thing we need to do is create our 3D Perspective view.  To do this, open a plan view . On the View tab, find 3d View and on the drop down select Camera.

Your mouse cursor will now show a little camera which you can place somewhere on the plan (from where you would like to view from). But before we do this, if you look on the contextual bar you will see some more options. Perspective will be checked, but you can and quite often have to change the level from which you want to view from and also the offset from that level.

Now you have that set up, click somewhere in the plan where you want the camera to be, then move the lines in the direction you want to view. The centre line is the centre of the view whilst the two edge lines are the extents of the view.

Placing the camera here results in a 3d perspective view which looks like this:

Editing you revit 3d presentation views

Now that you have a 3d perspective view, you can start to play around with the Graphic Display Options . In the view Properties under Graphics , you will find the Graphic Display Options.  Hit the big  Edit…  button.

Now the fun begins! Play around with different settings and see how they turn out.

Model Display: Here you can choose from the standard options of Wireframe, Hidden Line, Shaded, Consistent colors, and Realistic. You can also choose to show or hide Edges, and adjust transparency settings.

Shadows:  Pretty self-explanatory, you can choose to Cast Shadows and also show Ambient shadows.

Sketchy Lines: Get a cool hand sketched effect

Depth Cueing:  This setting only applies to Section & elevation views

Lighting: Choose to show light from the sun or artificial lights, from a set time of day or from just a general direction (Top right etc.)

Photo Graphic Exposure: Basically how light and bright the image is.

Background: You can choose from None, Gradient or Sky. I think Gradients the best as you can pick any colors you wish.

I’ve played around with a few of the options below so you can see what effect they have and can get an idea of the types of images you can create:

“Sketch” type of presentation View

More realistic image. Not showing Edges helps keep it clean and sharp

Playing with Transparency can give a cool effect. Note with Gradient backgrounds you can pick any colors to give a cool look!

Once you have had a good play around with the options and found the perfect settings, you can easily Save as View Template so you can quickly apply it to multiple presentation views!

Once you have the perfect image or images, you can export them out of Revit. Just click on the big “R” , under Export > Images and Animations > select Image

You can also adjust the Size of the image, and choose from various image formats such as JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and TARGA (whatever that is?!)

Here’s a quick example of the final product. Bear in mind it is a Structural model so there is a lot of concrete!:

How easy was that! Its really fun to create revit 3d presentation views and showcasing your models. Hopefully this post has helped you learn how to do it.

Tips & Tricks to Make Your Revit Architecture Drawings and Presentations Look Great

Related tags.

This article will show you how to get the most out of Revit’s powerful graphic features incorporating all of the exciting few features in Revit 2013 and 2014. You will attain valuable tips, tricks, and time-proven visualization techniques to make your drawings look great!

You will learn to enhance nonrendered and rendered views with ‘out-of-the-box’ advanced graphic techniques as well as visually improve trees, plants, and people used in Revit for nonrendered views. You will learn more about adding photo backgrounds to renderings using a unique overlay approach, adding fully controllable gradient color (or photo) background behind multiple views, as well as tips for improving interior and exterior rendered views.

Finally, you will learn how to use ‘old world hand drafting’ techniques to add visual clarity to make your construction documents communicate seamlessly. Using poche, surface shading patterns, profiling, transparency, and toning techniques you will learn to create one-of-a-kind 3D graphical drawings.

Section I: Basic Graphic Communication Techniques

Project wide default settings to individual overrides.

Steven Shell explains object styles.

Object Styles: Project Wide Category Settings Revit controls graphics based on a hierarchy, which starts from a program wide dialog box known as Object Styles, by category and then focuses all of the way down to individual line weights in a specific view. The Object Style dialog box below applies to all objects and elements in all views. This is where you first set all of your project wide visibility graphic preferences for Model Objects, then Annotation Objects, and then Imported Objects, which you then save to your Template.

Object Styles: View Override

Once you have set your global default settings, any individual view can be modified by using the View Overrides dialog box below, which controls the visibility graphics for an entire category, but only affects that specific view. These preferences should then be saved to your Template.

Object Styles: Individual Element Override

The individual element’s override dialog box below controls the visibility graphics for a specific element in a specific view.

Materials: Project Wide Default Settings

Revit controls the way materials look in all views, and types of views, from a program wide dialog box known as Materials, and can be overridden, duplicated or modified for additional materials as needed. In addition, one can copy all material settings from one project to another by using the Transfer Project Standards tool. All material settings should be saved to your Template.

Note: Starting in 2013, you can add Thermal and Physical Assets to any material.

Materials: Graphic Overrides for Specific Uses

In addition to defining a material’s settings for use in Renderings, you can modify a material for other non-traditional uses, such as to better communicate materials in your Construction Documents or early Presentations when using the standard Hidden Line view type.

For this example, when preparing cabinetry and millwork drawings, it is helpful to add a graphic Surface Pattern and a Cut Pattern to the wood (or laminate) material to better show the difference between materials. (This technique was originally known as ‘poche’ work and was added to the back side of a drawing sheet using a pink color pencil and blending it to highlight certain materials.) All additional or new materials should be saved to your Template.

For this example, when preparing a very preliminary design presentation, you may not want to show materials yet; however, it can be helpful to add a few select graphic Surface Patterns (Solid Color) to help indicate some materials and help the image communicate better than just a plan Hidden Line, or black and white view.

Other Types of Graphic Overrides for Specific Uses

In addition to defining a material’s settings for use in your drawings, you can modify an element so that it shows depth, or layering of object. This technique is used to layer a drawing in order to help communicate when an object is behind another object, set further back.

Lines: Project Wide Default Settings

Revit controls the way lines look in all views and types of views, from a program wide dialog box known as Line Styles, and can be added to, overridden, duplicated or modified for additional lines as needed. In addition, one can copy all line settings from one project to another by using the Transfer Project Standards tool. All line settings should be saved to your Template.

Lines: Modifying or Adding New Line Styles

From the program ‘Line Styles’ dialog box shown above, you can add or modify any line in order to create additional lines as needed. All line settings should be saved to your Template.

Lines: Modifying Individual Line Work in a Specific View

Using the Graphic Display Options Silhouette feature and the Line Tool overrides to provide individual Profiling as well as general line work improvements on an individual drawing.

Sketchy Lines: Modifying Individual Line Work in a Specific View

Use the Graphic Display Options Sketchy Lines feature, a hand-drawn look to an individual drawing including crossing lines at corners.

Sun Settings and Project Location: Project Wide Default Settings

Revit controls the project or site location in all views and types of views, from a program wide dialog box known as Location Weather and Site, and can be copied from one project to another by using the Transfer Project Standards tool. All project location and sun settings should be saved to your Template.

By setting the project’s location, the sun angles and settings can be used to accurately show the sun and shadow patterns for all views throughout the project, based on the physical orientation of a specific view. (This also requires that the project has been oriented to True North vs Project North.)

Phase Settings and Graphic Overrides

Revit controls the overall graphics for any view based on the Phase Filter Settings and Graphic Overrides for Phases which also can be copied from one project to another by using the Transfer Project Standards tool. These settings should be saved to your Template.

In order to improve visual clarity, it is necessary to create additional view filters as well as graphic overrides to the Phase Filter Settings. This is done by creating additional line types and styles to show specific phases better.

In the example above and below, a new phase filter (3) was created called Show Complete + Demo in order to create a coordination plan, which starts with the existing construction, then shows both the new and the demolition work simultaneously. This is helpful in showing how the new and demo work are related to the existing construction, especially during the design process. However, the out of the box demolition work graphics are very thin and need to be modified in order to communicate better. In the example below, the linework and pattern fills for New and Demo have been modified.

Section 2: Advanced Graphic Tools and Capabilities

Explore and take advantage of the possibilities.

Now that you have completely modelled and scheduled everything, the fun begins. It’s time to create your images and sheets.

Exploring Revit’s Visualization Tools: Enhancing 3D Presentations

Utilizing Revit’s Lighting Analysis for Enhanced 3D Presentations

Revit, the popular building information modeling (BIM) software, offers a wide range of visualization tools that can greatly enhance the presentation of 3D models. One such tool is the lighting analysis feature, which allows users to simulate and analyze the lighting conditions within a building or space. This tool not only helps architects and designers create more realistic and visually appealing presentations, but it also enables them to make informed decisions about lighting design.

The lighting analysis feature in Revit provides users with valuable insights into how natural and artificial light will interact with their designs. By simulating the movement of the sun throughout the day, users can visualize how light will enter a space at different times and seasons. This information is crucial for optimizing the placement of windows, skylights, and other light sources to maximize natural light and minimize the need for artificial lighting.

In addition to simulating natural light, Revit’s lighting analysis tool also allows users to analyze the impact of artificial lighting on a space. By inputting the specifications of different light fixtures, such as their intensity and color temperature, users can visualize how these fixtures will illuminate the space. This enables architects and designers to experiment with different lighting scenarios and make adjustments to achieve the desired ambiance and functionality.

One of the key benefits of utilizing Revit’s lighting analysis tool is its ability to generate accurate and realistic renderings. By incorporating lighting analysis data into the rendering process, users can create more lifelike visualizations that accurately represent the lighting conditions within a space. This can be particularly useful when presenting designs to clients or stakeholders, as it allows them to better understand and appreciate the proposed lighting design.

Furthermore, the lighting analysis feature in Revit can also help architects and designers meet sustainability goals. By analyzing the amount of natural light that enters a space, users can determine the potential for daylight harvesting, which involves using natural light to reduce the need for artificial lighting. This not only reduces energy consumption but also creates a more comfortable and visually pleasing environment for occupants.

In conclusion, Revit’s lighting analysis tool is a powerful feature that can greatly enhance the presentation of 3D models. By simulating and analyzing lighting conditions, architects and designers can make informed decisions about lighting design, optimize the placement of windows and light sources, and create more realistic renderings. Additionally, this tool can help meet sustainability goals by maximizing natural light and reducing the need for artificial lighting. Overall, utilizing Revit’s lighting analysis tool is a valuable way to enhance 3D presentations and create visually stunning designs.

One of the key components of these presentations is the realistic visualization of materials. In this article, we will explore Revit’s Material Editor and how it can enhance your 3D visualizations.

The Material Editor in Revit is a powerful tool that allows users to create and edit materials for their building models. With this tool, you can apply different textures, colors, and finishes to various elements of your design, giving them a realistic appearance. Whether you want to showcase the sleekness of a glass facade or the warmth of a wooden floor, the Material Editor has got you covered.

To access the Material Editor, simply navigate to the Manage tab in Revit’s ribbon and click on the Materials button. This will open up a window where you can create and manage your materials. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for both beginners and experienced users to navigate.

Once you have created a material, you can apply it to any element in your model. This is done by selecting the element and assigning the material to it. Revit’s Material Editor allows you to apply materials to individual surfaces, such as walls or floors, or to entire families of elements, such as doors or windows. This level of control ensures that your 3D visualizations accurately represent the materials used in your design.

But the Material Editor doesn’t stop at just applying basic colors and textures. It also allows you to fine-tune the appearance of your materials by adjusting parameters such as reflectivity, transparency, and bump mapping. This level of detail can make a significant difference in the realism of your 3D visualizations.

In addition to creating your own materials, Revit also provides a library of pre-defined materials that you can use. This library includes a wide range of options, from common building materials like concrete and brick to more specialized materials like metal and fabric. These pre-defined materials can save you time and effort, especially if you are working on a tight deadline.

Another useful feature of the Material Editor is the ability to create material schedules. A material schedule is a table that lists all the materials used in your model, along with their properties and quantities. This can be a valuable tool for cost estimation and material procurement, as it allows you to easily track and manage the materials used in your design.

In conclusion, Revit’s Material Editor is a powerful tool that can greatly enhance the realism of your 3D visualizations. With its intuitive interface and extensive range of features, you can create and edit materials to accurately represent the materials used in your design. Whether you are showcasing a glass facade or a wooden floor, the Material Editor allows you to fine-tune the appearance of your materials for stunning 3D presentations. So why settle for flat and lifeless visualizations when you can bring your designs to life with Revit’s Material Editor?

Enhancing 3D Presentations with Revit’s Rendering and Animation Tools

Revit, the popular building information modeling (BIM) software, is widely known for its powerful design and documentation capabilities. However, what many people may not realize is that Revit also offers a range of visualization tools that can greatly enhance 3D presentations. In this article, we will explore how Revit’s rendering and animation tools can take your presentations to the next level.

One of the standout features of Revit is its rendering capabilities. With the built-in rendering engine, users can create stunning, photorealistic images of their designs. Whether you are presenting to clients, stakeholders, or colleagues, these high-quality visuals can help bring your ideas to life and make a lasting impression.

Revit’s rendering tools allow you to control various aspects of the image, such as lighting, materials, and camera settings. This level of control ensures that you can create the exact look and feel you desire. Whether you want to showcase a sleek, modern interior or a lush, landscaped exterior, Revit’s rendering tools have got you covered.

In addition to static images, Revit also offers animation tools that enable you to create dynamic presentations. With the ability to animate objects, cameras, and even the sun’s position, you can create captivating walkthroughs and flyovers that allow viewers to experience your design from different perspectives.

Imagine being able to take your audience on a virtual tour of a building before it is even constructed. With Revit’s animation tools, this is entirely possible. By animating the camera’s movement through the building, you can guide viewers through each space, highlighting key features and providing a realistic sense of scale and proportion.

Furthermore, Revit’s animation tools can be used to demonstrate how different design options can impact the overall look and functionality of a space. By creating multiple animations, you can compare and contrast different design iterations, helping clients and stakeholders make informed decisions.

Another advantage of using Revit’s visualization tools is the ability to easily make changes and updates. Since the rendering and animation settings are directly linked to the underlying BIM model, any modifications made to the design will automatically be reflected in the visuals. This means that you can quickly iterate and refine your presentations without having to start from scratch.

Moreover, Revit’s integration with other Autodesk software, such as 3ds Max and Autodesk Cloud Rendering, further expands the possibilities for creating stunning visuals. These additional tools offer advanced rendering capabilities, such as global illumination and realistic material simulations, allowing you to achieve even more realistic and immersive presentations.

In conclusion, Revit’s rendering and animation tools are invaluable for enhancing 3D presentations. Whether you are looking to create photorealistic images or dynamic walkthroughs, Revit provides the necessary tools to bring your designs to life. By leveraging these visualization capabilities, you can effectively communicate your ideas, engage your audience, and ultimately, win over clients and stakeholders. So why settle for static drawings when you can create immersive experiences with Revit?

NEWS: From Revit to interactive 3D presentations in a browser

CL3VER export plug-in for Autodesk Revit is available in the Autodesk Exchange Apps Store for presentations in the cloud

A new add-on for Revit is designed to help architects and engineers create interactive 3D presentations for desktop and mobile devices.

With a single click, the CL3VER export plug-in for Revit exports a 3D model from Autodesk Revit and brings it into the CL3VER editor, a cloud-based editing tool that runs in a web browser. The model export includes all geometry, hierarchy, materials and textures.

Inside the CL3VER editor, users can create a scene, add materials, lights, cameras, images, videos, animations, infographics and interactivity.

Scenes can then be published to the cloud and viewed in a web browser without a plug-in, on desktop, laptop or tablet. Presentations can be shared with a simple URL.

Scenes can also be viewed offline, downloaded as a .html file and opened with any WebGL-capable browser. An iOS apps for iPad and iPhone also supports interactive 3D presentations without an Internet connection.

CL3VER’s export plug-in for Revit can be downloaded for free from the Autodesk Exchange Apps Store.

Plug-ins are also available for 3ds Max, Maya, SketchUp and Solidworks. Alternatively, .fbx, .3ds, .dae, .kmz, .stl and .obj files can be dragged and dropped directly into the editor.

“CL3VER creates an incredibly powerful 3D experience for the client or stakeholder, enabling them to engage with the visualization from every angle and interact with the model in their own way,” says George Matos, principal at architectural firm, Blue Marble. “CL3VER is a useful 3D platform early on in the design, during exploration of the spatial layout of the project and a rough concept, and later for presentations, either as part of a proposal to sell the design, or as part of a marketing effort to sell the facility to potential buyers.”

How to Boost Your Revit Presentation With Enscape

Whether you are presenting to a client one-on-one or in front of dozens of stakeholders, delivering a clear and smooth flowing representation of your design solution is of the utmost importance in gaining approval and maintaining confidence in your services.

Using Enscape, along with its Presentation Mode, will help your client better understand the proposal in ways not possible just a few years ago. In addition to gaining confidence in your design and use of practical modern technology, you stand a better chance of enjoying repeat business down the road.

This may sound overly dramatic, but when you compare the dynamic, lively Enscape experience with a few static images on presentation boards, the client will notice the difference. This post will delve into the various nuances to consider when presenting using Enscape's real-time rendering environment. This includes tips and tricks in and around the use of Enscape, including Presentation Mode, Exporting EXE models, licensing issues as well as the various input options. With this information in hand, the design team can deliver a memorable presentation!

Preparation

In a previous Enscape blog post, Best Practices for Revit Project Setup , I covered many steps which can be employed prior to presenting or meeting with a client. For example, a good set of named views in Autodesk Revit can really facilitate a smooth transition between talking points.

Enscape's Presentation Mode

During the presentation, it is helpful to use Enscape’s Presentation Mode. This feature facilitates quickly moving to different locations within the project. This was not possible in an exported Enscape EXE project previously. Now it is possible, both within the EXE and efficiently in the Enscape view without having to switch over to Revit to select from the list of saved Revit views.

The great thing about Presentation Mode, is that only starred views (see example below) will appear in the flyout panel within Enscape. This is ideal as a typical Revit model can have a lot of 3D views which may not have relevance in an Enscape presentation.

Once you have starred one or more views, you will see the Presentation Mode tab on the right (see image below). To avoid confusion, it should be noted that the tab only appears when views have been starred as shown in the previous image (in Revit).

When the cursor is positioned over the tab, the presentation panel slides out. This panel shows a preview of each starred view. Simply click on one of these views to transport yourself to that location in the model. TIP: You can also use the PageUp and PageDown keys to switch views, even when the Presentation panel is not open.

With the present panel expanded, click the icon in the upper left to see a helpful overlay of instructions as shown here. Click anywhere to toggle back. Clicking the icon just below it will lock the panel in the open position.

Clicking on any preview in the Presentation panel will jump you to that location in the model. This is a great way to make sure you cover all the important aspects of the design while presenting. Note that the previews are listed in alpha-numeric order, just like in Revit’s Project Browser. You may want to add a number prefix to each stared view if you would like to present the views in a specific order.

In the image below, the preview in the Presentation panel was just clicked on, and the main Enscape view transported to that location. Notice the preview, in the Presentation panel, now has an orange marker next to it.

There is an important distinction between switching views from the Enscape tab in Revit and using the new Presentation panel within the Enscape viewer. That is, when using the presentation panel, the model does not change. In contrast, when you switch between views in Revit, things like Section Box, Phasing, Design Options and hidden elements will update the Enscape view.

Thus, if you have two views from the same vantage point, but are set to show two different design options, you would only want to star one for presentation mode, as they will both look the same. It is possible to save different sun settings with each view.

Enscape MiniMap

Another way to quickly move around a model in Escape is with the MiniMap . Type M to toggle the map and drag the lower right corner to adjust the map size. An icon appears at the current camera location as pointed out in the next image. Clicking anywhere within the map will instantly transport the camera to that location. It is possible to zoom in and out with the scroll wheel on the mouse, but panning is not supported yet.

Enscape MiniMap Enlarged

Standalone Executable Enscape Experience

If you do not need to make edits to the model, adjust phasing or switch between Revit’s Design Options, you can Export the Enscape model to an EXE file. This is a self-contained version of the Enscape software along with a static copy of the model. Using this option, you do not even need Revit or Enscape installed on the presentation computer…. however, the computer still needs to be powerful enough to run Enscape.

With Enscape open, and model presented the way you would like it, click Export on the Enscape tab on the Ribbon.

Here are a few pros and cons to using an exported EXE version of the Enscape model:

• No Revit or Network license required
• No Enscape or Floating license required
• Can leave with client
• Fastest startup
• Limitations:
• Cannot change phase
• Cannot toggle design options
• Cannot toggle White Mode, 2-Point, Light View, etc.
• Cannot adjust environment settings (i.e. ambient lighting)

Consider creating multiple EXE exports if you need to show different design options, phasing or section box cutaway views. TIP: Clicking Enable (VR Headset) and then Exporting to EXE will create a VR-Ready EXE version of the Enscape model. This will work on the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift . Watch for a future post on using Enscape with VR.

It is also possible to add branding to Enscape; both the live view and exported executables. When leaving an EXE version of the model with a client this can be a good way to also add a date and design option information, as well as the firm logo to ensure your firm gets credit for the work.

Input Devices

To aid in a smooth flowing presentation, it is a good idea to consider the input options one can use to navigate a scene in Enscape. This is a valid point for both working at your desk or presenting in front of an audience.

Keyboard Shortcuts plus Mouse

Using the keyboard shortcuts along with the mouse represents the most basic way in which to explore a Revit, SketchUp or Rhino model in Enscape.

The traditional gaming keys W,A,S,D can be used to move forward ( W ), backwards ( S ) and left or right ( A or D ). Additionally, while in “ Fly Mode ” you can ascend ( E ) and descend ( Q ). The four arrow keys can also be used for navigation but they are disconnected from moving up and down, so I prefer the letter keys as they are all grouped together.

While in “ Walk Mode ” you are stuck to the ground at the specified Spectator Height , which is adjustable in the Enscape Settings dialog.

Double-clicking (left button) the mouse will transport you to that location. This, however, turns off “ Walk Mode ” so you may have to press the Spacebar to switch back.

Looking around:

Moving the mouse, while holding down the left mouse button , allows you to look around the scene without moving your feet (i.e. the camera).

Moving the mouse while pressing the right mouse button initiates the orbit feature… the clever trick here is that you orbit around the 3D element at your cursor location – the 3D element beneath your cursor can be any distance away, it just needs to be visible in the current scene.

Xbox Controls

Another popular option is to use an Xbox controller to explore a model in Enscape. Using both hands, and the options shown in the image below, you can freely move and look around in Enscape.

SpaceMouse Plus Mouse

This third option is my favorite, as it allows you to move in five different directions at the same time, with one hand . Notice the different individual movements shown in the image below – these can be combined in any combination or all performed at once. For example, while in “Fly Mode”, you could explore a chair from many angles and elevations in a smooth continuous fashion.

FYI: It is possible to invoke multiple move/look/orbit commands using the Xbox, but requires the coordination and memory of multiple fingers, buttons, joysticks and triggers at once. If you have never done any gaming this can be challenging – an important point if you plan to let a client or other stakeholder drive.

It is worth pointing out that the larger, full featured, SpaceMouse is not necessary to do what I have just described. I have the simple SpaceMouse Wireless , which is essentially just the center dial/puck with two side buttons.

SpaceMouse Controls for Enscape

In the context of presenting, it is good to know your input options and have practiced before entering an important presentation or client meeting. Enscape has several settings on the Input tab, as shown below, which can make the presentation smoother – which can vary depending on your input device. I often need to toggle the SpaceMouse option when using a SpaceMouse. Also, be sure to check out the Enscape Help Page link below to see a full list of keyboard shortcuts.

Presenting Away From the Office

I have a few helpful tips if you will be presenting away from the office. If you need to open a Revit model, and then launch Enscape, you will need to make sure you can open Revit while away from the office. This may require checking out a network license.

Checkout a Revit License

If your office uses network licensing, you will need to check out a license on your computer, laptop or checkout laptop. Do this before you leave the office. Also, if using a checkout computer, be sure it is powerful enough to run Enscape. It is not possible to run on integrated Intel graphics cards or Microsoft Surface Pro.

Access to Enscape

If using the Enscape add-in for Revit to open the model, you will need to ensure you have access to Enscape if using a floating license. Access to the internet and making sure there will be a free license when you need it is important – i.e. no one in the office will be using all of your allotted licenses.

Be Prepared for the Unexpected

Make sure you have a copy of the exported Enscape EXE model on a flash drive. I also travel with several video adaptors and a 25’ (7.5 Meter) HDMI cable as you cannot always know what to expect on-site.

If you are bringing all the tech, set it all up away from your normal working space to ensure you have everything, such as keyboard and mouse… some things are easy to leave behind when they are sitting where you always see them. I do the same with our VR gear before leaving the office.

• Revit Help page: To Borrow or Return a License
• Enscape Help Page: Recommended graphics drivers

The opportunity to convey your design solution in a lively and dynamic way has the potential to impress your client in ways not possible previously. The speed and ease in which Enscape allows this process to happen makes it a great option.

How to Make an Animated 3D Floor Plan Presentation in PowerPoint

Presentation skills and aesthetics can make or cut business deals and significantly impact other industries like Real Estate, Architecture, Interior Design, or Construction. How do professionals in these industries prepare to share their insights and ideas with prospective buyers? Is it through drawings, real-time 3D imaging, or with presentation slides showcasing images of the said project?

In this article, we want to share an entirely different approach for Architects, Realtors, Interior Designers, and Contractors – we will learn how to create a professional-quality PowerPoint presentation that features an animated 3D floor plan, also known as isometric 3D view or axonometric 3D view, how to craft custom infographics from it, and how to deliver engaging presentations in a refreshing format.

Table of Contents

Why Should Professionals Make a 3D PowerPoint Presentation?

Isometric vs. axonometric view – are they the same thing, potential use case scenarios of animated 3d floor plan presentations in powerpoint, assets required to make a 3d floor plan presentation in powerpoint, preparing your floor plan for powerpoint, exporting the .obj file from 3d software, importing the .obj file into powerpoint, duplicating slides + animating or rotating 3d objects, creating infographics from 3d floor plan views in powerpoint, exporting the 3d presentation to hd video format, case study: presenting a housing project for real estate, case study: kitchen renovation project presentation.

Although some concepts can be easily explained with words or simple 2D graphics, speaking about spatial design, understanding the relationships between elements in spaces that shall be cohabited for – maybe – simultaneous functions is not an easy feat. 

To simplify this, let’s say you buy a house, a house you intend to be your home, and your office where you plan to meet with customers. Maybe in 2D dimensions, you can get an idea of what the spaces would look like, but only after furniture is arranged into that space can you get a clear picture of how “livable” that ambient would become.

3D graphics and their usage in architecture signified a before and after for professionals, as they can bring a closer experience to their customers of what their projects would look like after they are completed. For this reason, hyperrealism is a sought-after technique many interior designers and contractors apply to attract customers into buying their services. But where does this stand in terms of PowerPoint presentations?

Experience tells us the fancier the graphics, the higher the customer retention rate, and such a statement fits to a T to Real Estate Marketing . Since it is not easy to show 3D images of buildings in live time (mostly due to hardware requirements), professionals sought methods that can create presentations using those 3D graphics and be repurposed as many times as required. PowerPoint bridges as a convenient tool for this adventure, as we can curate the content into impactful presentation slides or help ourselves using Real Estate PowerPoint templates. A 3D PowerPoint template can be streamed on any device, becoming a simplified resource for professionals on the go or as a shareable document between team members working on the same project.

During the introduction, we mentioned two terms: Isometric and Axonometric View . Although the terms are often used interchangeably, we must clarify this difference before creating our 3D models.

Both Isometric and Axonometric Views are terms to define 3D representations of objects in perspective. An Isometric View is a representation method that showcases an object in the three spatial axes (X, Y, and Z, respectively) at equal angles. The angles between axonometric axes sum 120 degrees, which means each view is made at a 30-degree angle. As a result, we get an image without any kind of deformity in terms of size but limited to depicting depth. In real-case usage, it is the simplest 3D view we can get and the preferred choice in technical drawings and 3D view aerial images.

On the other hand, an Axonometric View is a broader category that encompasses different methods of representing three-dimensional objects in 2D mediums. Since the degrees between axes can vary, this signifies the differentiated depth quality of those 3D views. The types of axonometric views are:

• Dimetric Projection
• Trimetric Projection
• Oblique Projection

Define which view style suits your interests best before creating a 3D model. Although professional-quality software will allow you to present the image in any projection format you desire, that’s not always the case with free 3D tooling.

Presenters can benefit from animated 3D floor plan views when customers must understand the spatial relationship between elements. 

Say you are a contractor hired by a family that wants to renew their 20-year-old kitchen. You can put into words the area requirements or a percentage of how much space they will gain if a wall is moved to turn an old kitchen layout into a contemporary open-space concept. Still, it generally doesn’t bring a sense of “completeness” to the consumer. However, presenting an animation where the family can turn the model and visualize how the furniture will fit into the area, how much light will enter the room, or how that kitchen interacts with other rooms in the same house can make consumers much more receptive to hiring the services of that contractor. And no, no 2D plan can make people without a technical background understand the actual livable space of that project. That’s just the way our brain is wired to comprehend spatial relationships.

Another set of viable scenarios are architecture or interior design students who are required to present their projects at university, architectural contests, and Real Estate projects where you want to sell an unbuilt housing unit to a prospective buyer – that same concept also applies to other usages like commercial buildings, factories, etc.

The main asset required is a 3D house plan model, which can be built using free 3D software like Blender, a web-based application such as Sweet Home 3D, or professional tools such as AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Cinema4D, etc. Hand-drawn floor plans can be scanned to help us build the 3D model, or you can work from scratch on any of those 3D modeling tools.

Remember that Microsoft PowerPoint can support *.obj format for 3D objects. 

Once you have built your 3D Floor Plan, you need to consider these three aspects:

• Which viewing mode do you plan to use: Isometric or Axonometric.
• Detailing of your 3D model.
• Which views are modeled for your project.

We would like to emphasize that final one since PowerPoint allows us to have pre-established views of 3D objects using Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Front, and Back views. If any of those views isn’t modeled and we want to use the view, it would be either non-existent or incomplete, and we cannot go back and forth integrating the 3D model with the presentation file as it doesn’t sync changes in live time.

How to Integrate 3D Floor Plans into PowerPoint

To simplify our process, we will use Sweet Home 3D to create the 3D model for this presentation. Instructions on how to export a 3D model to obj format may vary depending on the software used.

In Sweet Home 3D, go to 3D View > Export to OBJ format . Select the location to save your 3D model and file name, then click Save .

Blender exports to OBJ by going to File > Export > Wavefront (.obj) .

SketchUp works by going to File > Export > 3D Model – then you select .obj as the file format.

BIM software like Revit can also export high-detailed 3D models to obj format. Go to your desired 3D view, File tab > Export > CAD Formats > OBJ.

Open your presentation slide and switch to the Insert tab. Then, on the Ribbon, locate Insert 3D Model From > This Device.

Check our article on how to insert 3D objects in PowerPoint for further information on 3D object handling in PowerPoint.

Depending on what you want to present, you must duplicate slides to create multiple animation effects or infographics for your project.

A 3D gizmo allows us to rotate the 3D floor plan to any desired point. We can select the object and upscale its size if it doesn’t look pixelated. 

There are multiple animation effects you can use to present the 3D model:

• Morph Transition
• Motion Paths

Infographics can be built out of 3D floor plan views as we can extrude elements to create new graphics or displace parts of our 3D model, then use visual aids in PowerPoint to create meaningful slides that help our audience understand the concept we want to convey.

Any of these processes require creating a spare copy of the 3D model , applying the required changes to create the 3D infographic, and then saving it with another name (so there are no file conflicts when importing the second 3D model into the presentation). Typical applications of this technique are:

• Showing the material structure of a wall, floor, or window.
• Moving partition walls to present new enhanced spaces.
• Replacing finishing material.
• Adding/removing furniture to a space.

After completing the presentation design, we can play the presentation as a slideshow, or we can use it to create a high-quality video output. This helps us connect with prospective customers via social media or as a shareable that customers can check as many times as they like.

Go to File > Export > Create a Video to export the presentation to a video format . Select the required definition for your video, and remember to assign it to include Use Recorded Timings and Narrations if you added notes or voiceover to your PowerPoint presentation.

We highly recommend you check our guide on how to convert PowerPoint to video for further information.

For this initial case study, we will showcase a presentation for a housing project in Real Estate. The target audience is investors who are interested in purchasing a property in a new beachside private neighborhood. The presenter must highlight the importance of connecting with nature, infrastructure services (high-speed optic fiber internet, grocery stores, party room, laundry, kindergarten, and gym), private security, and distance from nearby cities. Also, the presenter wants to introduce their prototype units, the different configurations available, and the required investment while retaining a highly visual format that removes friction from the buying process.

Our presentation designer selected a template to deliver this presentation and worked with a 3D housing model made in Sweet Home 3D. The title slide contains a rendering made out of the 3D model – an exterior view.

After introducing the agenda slide , relevant data for the project, and speaking about the location, the presenter now shows the 3D floor plan infographic view in a series of slides. First, speaking about selected views from the kitchen area.

Next, the speaker discusses how the living room can serve as a multi-purpose area and also as a spare bedroom. It is possible for the audience to understand these concepts as the 3D furniture gives clear hints about the total livable area.

Finally, the slide discusses the exterior finishing material options since the housing units are customizable.

We can also appreciate the full impact of this presentation in this animated GIF shown below.

For our second case study, we will take from the abovementioned idea: a contractor delivering a kitchen renovation project to a married couple who purchased an old home. The couple wants to move in ASAP, but the house requires a full kitchen renovation, which involves tearing down a partition wall separating the kitchen from the living room to create an open space concept and renewing material finishes, furniture, and appliances.

As the contractor acknowledges the importance of remaining within budget for this young couple, he meets with his customers. He delivers a presentation on what the project is going to be about. The first slide in this presentation is a breakdown of the tasks required to complete the kitchen renewal process.

Then, a Gantt Chart is shown so the couple can see whether the delivery date aligns with their moving plans and when payments should be made to complete each renovation phase.

Finally, the presenter delivers the core slide: a 3D floor plan view of the kitchen’s appearance once finished. This visual element amazes the couple as they can move inside the space and “live” the project they envisioned. Using the 3D images for PowerPoint helped this contractor secure the deal in contrast with another, lower-pricing option the couple also contacted.

As we’ve seen, using 3D models in construction or architectural presentations is vital, as presenters can put visuals into what they envisioned rather than confusing customers with tons of irrelevant data. 

Working with the methodology presented in this article simplifies the process of presenting properties or projects, which used to involve creating animated 3D renderings that took countless hours to craft. Animated 3D floor plan presentations can be handled using a tablet and a projector, two resources presenters have at bay, and not lose quality in the process. Pairing that 3D model with a professional-quality Real Estate presentation template is your ticket to success.

We hope this guide can trigger some ideas on how to build your 3D floor plan presentation. See you next time!

1. Real Estate Listing Template for Floor Plan Presentation

Get ready to introduce any real estate listing using 3D floor plan views with the help of this template. Using rhomboid tiles, the title slide allows you to use multiple views of your 3D model or use 3D renderings crafted out of those views. Presenters can introduce their team, showcase the project’s main amenities, expose the pricing evolution in a pre-defined time, and more.

Use This Template

2. Real Estate Project Presentation Slide Deck

Housing projects that require input from investors require more than fancy icons to convince people to acquire a property. To further complement your 3D floor plan presentation, we invite you to use this Real Estate slide deck that includes tools intended to present an executive summary of the project, investment planning,  opportunities linked to the project, factors that may affect its value, and a series of customizable informative slides. Pair this real estate template with your 3D floor plan model for maximum customer engagement!

3. Residential Real Estate Slides for 3D Floor Plan Presentation

Get your hands on real estate vendors made out of high-quality vector graphics to further enhance your 3D model presentation in PowerPoint. In blue and green layout, this fully customizable template allows you to place any 3D model with ease, illustrating its views from different angles. The titles and subheadings are ideal for discussing the project’s core features while presenting your pitch to prospective sellers.

4. House for Sale Listing Template for PowerPoint

Real Estate agents can benefit from using 3D floor plan views in their listing ads by pairing this template with their model. Introduce images from exterior facades, full aerial 3D floor plan, pricing, main features, and contact data. Ideal to grab the interest of prospective customers with a creative approach.

5. Property Development Real Estate Slide Deck for PowerPoint

3D views and hyperrealistic renderings are among the preferred assets of Real Estate professionals to attract investors to unbuilt projects. You can give them a detailed living experience of your project using an axonometric 3D view of the project and, simultaneously, lay critical information about the company behind the project, team members, a competitive analysis of the sector, a SWOT analysis, etc.
