Autodesk Revit (https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/revit/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription ) is a building information modelling software for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers and contractors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_Revit ).
Autodesk Navisworks (https://www.autodesk.co.uk/products/navisworks/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription ) is a 3D design review package used primarily in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to complement 3D design packages (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and MicroStation) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navisworks ).
Integration
This integration has been developed by the Igloo software 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 ICE. The image is received via NDI or Spout protocol.
Configuration
The configuration file for the plugin is located in the AppData folder of the current user in ‘\Igloo Vision\Navisworks\Navisworks.xml’.
Using the Igloo Plugin
A button called ‘Display in Igloo’ will appear in the Add-ins menu as shown below.
Pressing the ‘Display in Igloo’ button starts the cubemap generation process and this is displayed with a progress pop-up.
When the process is completed the pop-up disappears and s Spout sender called Revit is now available. This is automatically picked up in Igloo Capture when using the Revit input type.
The advanced menu shows the built-in settings. The cubemap is translated into equirectangular and the resolution is 8192 x 4096.
The resulting capture layer can then be enabled in the Warper and adjusted using the vertical stretch in Igloo Control. Here is the view in Igloo Showroom.
