Revit is a powerful software for 3D modeling and building information modeling. However, when it comes to exporting your models for use in other 3D software or for rendering purposes, you may find that the options are limited. Fortunately, there is a way to export your Revit models as OBJ files, which can then be imported into a wide range of 3D software.

Here’s how you can export OBJ from Revit:

1. Open your Revit model: Start by opening the Revit model that you want to export as an OBJ file.

2. Go to the File menu: Once your model is open, go to the File menu at the top left corner of the screen.

3. Select Export: In the File menu, select the Export option. This will open a submenu with various file formats that you can export your model as.

4. Choose OBJ format: From the list of export options, choose the OBJ format. This will open a new window where you can specify the settings for the OBJ export.

5. Configure export settings: In the export settings window, you can configure various options such as the units, face settings, materials, and more. Make sure to review and adjust these settings based on your specific needs and the requirements of the 3D software you plan to import the OBJ file into.

6. Export the OBJ file: Once you have configured the export settings, click the Export button to save your Revit model as an OBJ file. Choose a location on your computer to save the file, and give it a descriptive name.

7. Import the OBJ file into your 3D software: After the OBJ file is exported, you can import it into your preferred 3D software for further editing, rendering, or integration into a larger project.

By following these steps, you can easily export your Revit models as OBJ files and use them in a wide range of 3D software. This can be particularly useful for creating realistic renderings, visualizations, and animations of your Revit models outside of the Revit environment.

In conclusion, exporting OBJ files from Revit opens up new possibilities for using your 3D models in various contexts. Whether you are collaborating with other 3D designers, creating presentations, or exploring different rendering options, the ability to export OBJ files from Revit can be a valuable skill to have in your toolkit.
