Features
A Revit 3D import plugin for architects
Import 3D geometry into your Revit project the way it should arrive: as real families, with true scale textures and clean drawings. Made for architects and interior designers who place real products, from furniture and lighting to fixtures, in the finishes their clients chose.
A real Revit family
Every 3D model is converted to a Revit family that you place, copy and move like any other family in your project.
Drag and drop
Drop a model file, a zip or a whole folder straight onto a Revit view. The model follows your cursor, ready to place.
Textures at true size
Textures and the model's own texture mapping come in at real world size, and units are detected for you.
Clean drawings
Plan and elevation linework is drawn from the real mesh, so the model reads properly in plans and elevations and stays textured in 3D.
Materials you can edit
Each layer gets its own Revit material. Change it in Revit's material editor and the model updates. Copies share the same materials.
Resize with Height
Set the Height parameter to resize the model. Width and depth follow, so the proportions stay true.
The IDColab Library
Browse and search IDColab's free 3D models inside Revit, and import one with a click.
Your session stays safe
Models are converted outside Revit, so a bad file can never take your Revit session down.

Downloads, unzipped for you
Drop in a zip, RAR or 7z download and IDColab finds the model inside. When a download holds several formats, it picks the best one.
Files, archives or folders
Drag a model file, an archive or a whole folder onto a Revit view, or choose a file with Import on the ribbon.
Clean drawings
Crisp in plan, rich in 3D
Leave Clean drawings ticked and IDColab draws plan and elevation linework from the real mesh, so each piece reads properly on your drawings while the textured model shows in 3D. Untick it to import a model exactly as it is.
Materials
Every layer, its own Revit material
Each layer of the model arrives as a Revit material, ready in Revit's own material editor. Change a fabric or a finish and the model updates, and every copy in the project shares the same materials.

How do I import a 3D model into Revit?
Install IDColab for Revit, then click Import on the IDColab panel and pick your model, or drag the file, zip or folder onto a Revit view. The model is converted into a Revit family and follows your cursor, so you can place it like any other family.
Can I bring a SketchUp model into Revit?
Yes. IDColab for Revit imports SketchUp .skp files directly, with textures at real size, materials as separate layers and clean plan and elevation linework.
What does Clean drawings do?
With Clean drawings ticked, IDColab draws plan and elevation linework from the real mesh, so the model reads properly in plans and elevations while the textured model shows in 3D. Untick it to import the model as it is.
Can I change materials after importing?
Yes. Every layer of the model gets its own Revit material, which you edit in Revit's own material editor. Your edits update the model, and copies share the same materials.
How do I get IDColab for Revit?
Download the plugin for Autodesk Revit 2027 on Windows and sign in to the IDColab panel with your IDColab account: your 3 day free trial starts then, and no card is needed. After that, buy it once for $50 and keep it, or use it with a Studio, Design Pro or Enterprise Plus plan.

How do I convert a 3D model to a Revit family?
Import it with IDColab for Revit. Every model, from FBX and OBJ to SketchUp, Rhino and glTF, becomes a real, placeable Revit family, with a Height parameter that resizes it and Revit materials you can edit.
How do I import an FBX into Revit?
Click Import on the IDColab panel and choose the .fbx file, or drop it onto a Revit view. IDColab converts it into a Revit family with its textures at real world size and one editable Revit material per layer.
Can I import a Rhino .3dm file into Revit?
Yes. Choose the .3dm file with Import or drop it onto a view, and place it as a Revit family. IDColab reads the render meshes saved in the Rhino file, which are there whenever the model has been shaded in Rhino before saving.
Can I import OBJ, glTF and GLB files into Revit?
Yes. OBJ, glTF and GLB import the same way as every other format: click Import or drag the file onto a view, then place the Revit family that follows your cursor.
Which version of Revit does it work with?
IDColab for Revit is built and tested on Autodesk Revit 2027.
Which file formats can I import?
FBX, OBJ, glTF and GLB, DAE, 3DS, PLY, USD and USDZ, 3ds Max (.max), SketchUp (.skp) and Rhino (.3dm). You can also drop in a zip, RAR or 7z download: IDColab finds the model inside and picks the best format when a download has several.
How do I resize a model?
Change its Height parameter. The model resizes and its width and depth follow.
What is in the Library?
The Library shows IDColab's free 3D models, which you can browse, search and import with a click. Premium models link to the IDColab 3D library on the website through the Shop Models button.
Browse the 3D libraryCan a broken file crash Revit?
No. Conversion runs outside Revit, so a bad file can never take your Revit session down.
How does the free trial work?
Every IDColab account gets one 3 day free trial with every feature. It starts the first time you sign in to the IDColab panel inside Revit, never before, and it does not restart. Each computer can run one trial. No card is needed.
Does a licence expire?
No. A licence you buy is perpetual for the release you bought, so Release 1 stays yours. A newer release, such as Release 2, is a separate $50 purchase.
Can I use it on more than one computer?
Yes, on up to 2 computers at a time, such as a desktop and a laptop. A licence belongs to your IDColab account, not to one computer. Signing in on a third computer lets you move the licence there from the one you used least recently. Each person in a studio uses their own account.
