Conwroth Inc.
The Conworth Gltf Converter operates as an Add-in for Autodesk® Revit®, enabling the direct conversion of Revit's element category hierarchy into the node hierarchy of glTF.

General Usage Instructions

The functions provided by Conworth Gltf Converter are as follows:

1. Export to GLTF: This can be used when converting a Revit file to a GLTF (text + bin) or GLB (binary) format.

 - Optimization: Selecting the optimization method for file transformation, ‘Draco’, and ‘MeshOpt’  can be selected to apply. 

   (* For Optimization to work properly, gltf-transform must be installed. (https://github.com/donmccurdy/glTF-Transform))

 - Transformation: Tab to modify length-by-length transformation and coordinate axis information in the Revit file.

  •   Change Feet to Meter - Revit uses feet as the default unit of length, so it is checked and converted.
  •   Original Revit Coordinate System – Right-hand coordinate system / Ground: XY plane / Height: Z axis.
  •   Transform to GL Coordinate System – Graphics Library coordinate system conversion. / Right-hand coordinate system. / Height: Y axis / Camera direction: Z axis. 
  •   Transform to D3D Coordinate System – DirectX 3D coordinate system conversion. Left-hand coordinate system / Height: Y axis / Camera direction: Z axis.

 

2. GLTF-Transform: This option is to reapply the conversion or optimization method for GLTF and GLB files.

 - Selecting the conversion type;

  •   Copy: GLB -> GLTF or GLTF -> GLB process.
  •   MeshOpt: Running MeshOpt Optimization in gltf-tansform.
  •   Draco: Running Draco Optimization in gltf-transform.

 

3. Change Coordinate Form: This option is to convert the length unit and coordinate system of GLTF and GLB files.

 - You can choose the coordinate system you want to transform to.

  •   Original Revit Coordinate System.
  •   Transform to GL Coordinate System.
  •   Transform to D3D Coordinate System.
