Many different forms of 3D model and BIM data are utilized to articulate construction methodology. Fuzor allows users to import objects from many different sources. Many construction models are best imported and updated using Fuzor Plugins. However, many industry standard formats can be imported via drag and drop.

To import an object via drag and drop simply drag them anywhere into the primary Fuzor window. The following imported models can be imported via drag and drop:

  • 3D Object: (.fbx).

  • Point Cloud: (.pts), (.fls).

  • SketchUp 2019, 2020, 2021: (.skp).

  • Industry Foundation Classes: (.ifc).

  • 3DS Max: (.3ds).

 

The Load Options menu appears after dragging and dropping in an imported model.

The Spawn in Location radio button ensures that the model will be loaded at its default location or in the location the Placement Zone specified by the GIS App.

The Load in Family Placement radio button loads the model into the Family Placement Library. For more information see Family Placement.

The Specific Coordinate radio button spawns the model at the location of the coordinate denoted by the X,Y,Z textboxes. You can fill these values by clicking on any object in your 3D scene. Recap Point Clouds must be loaded into Revit and then Synced to Fuzor.

All of the above models can be updated using the Reload Imported Model Button in the element properties for that object.
