This integration is built by the Igloo software development team using the Navisworks and Revit API to create plugins to the native application. A menu appears in Navisworks/Revit to enable sharing of a 360 degree image of the current camera location with ICEIgloo Core Engine. The image is received via NDI or Spout protocol.

...

The configuration file for the plugin is located in the AppData folder of the current user in ‘\Igloo Vision\Navisworks\Navisworks.xml’ or ‘\Igloo Vision\Revit\Revit.xml’. The resolution of the image which is sent to ICE Igloo Core Engine can be modified in this file (width and height are in pixels and must be the same value). Also the protocol can be specified here as either NDI or Spout.

...

When the process is completed the pop-up disappears and an NDI or Spout sender called Revit is now available. This can then be viewed in ICE Igloo Core Engine using an NDI or Spout layer and applying the Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective True Perspective effects.

Save this as a Session to easily reload the layer with these settings applied - Sessions - Igloo Core Engine Documentation

Notes

Lighting - the lighting model used for the rendering the 360 image (cubemap) is inherited from the lighting model in the current view. Each cubemap face is rendered independently and this can produce some slight colour differences between adjacent faces.
