Hi, I have a revit 2024 model (73MB). I linked it to D5 and set up textures, brush records, views, etc. I saved and closed both applications, added something small to the Revit model, and reopened D5. Now, my Revit model appears in the “object” dropdown, but the model is not in the viewer. When I “focus” on the object, the D5 screen goes black. I have “replaced” the RVT model on opening several times with the same result. When opening a new D5 project link with the same Revit model, the model also does not appear in D5. Please help.
Hi ythame.
What you said, it seems to me that there is something you are missing, I don’t use the Revit program, but if you explain the topic with an image of your problem someone from the staff will surely help you.
Strength is courage, you will surely find the solution
I have tried numerous models on two different computers…The D5 export is no longer working and does not import Revit models. Please help me solve this.
Have you done the RTX updates you have
I saw that you have Revit in axonometry so the synchronization doesn’t work. you have to put it in perspective
Hmmm…ok. let me try this (launching from a perspective view).
So how did it go and resolve it?
Unfortunately, no but it was a good suggestion. Thank you!
I don’t know if you know SketchUp, try installing it and then with Revit save it in SketchUp i.e. SKP and from the program I indicated try to synchronize it
This is an alternative idea to get around the obstacle, and then later see what’s wrong with revit, so you can get on with the job
Good luck and courage don’t give up
Sorry I insist, have you tried saving it with revit in DRS and then opening it with D5 directly without synchronization this is another way to open your work, try this way, good work
Hi ythame.
Did you solve the problem?
Excuse me, because while I was surfing the web I remembered something, perhaps I had missed it, so out of curiosity I wanted confirmation of what I thought. I reviewed the image you posted, again, it is known that the revit file on the D5 dropdown was loaded, seeing it gave me confirmation, so there was only one thing to look at, the scale of your project I have the coordinates if it is on xyz point equal to zero. All you had to do was click on it to see its properties and check, this was what I didn’t see on the drop-down menu to the right of the image you posted.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I greet you Riccardo

Thanks. We will check it.
Hi @riccardofortelli. It’s no problem at all because I need this problem fixed. In the meantime, I went back to my normal renderer. I am not sure if I know what you’re asking but I will try to respond. First, the image I sent was not my actual model but a clearer way to illustrate my problem. I picked another project (with no added D5 objects) to see if I was having the same error. Your solution solution (of launching from a perspective view) did result in that model showing up. When I tried that solution on my actual model it had no result. The real model in D5 has a location of x:14536,y:30094,z:-2 which may be the bottom corner of the grouped exported objects. Is that what you’re asking? Your message made me think that maybe I should break up my model (parse out the landscape as a separate export) and see if that has an effect. Exporting a DRS from Revit worked 50% of the time on the six models I tested (sometimes elements end up in strange places). So I am still experimenting with that but so far breaking up the problem model is not helping. Maybe the whole D5 file is corrupt? I’m not sure.
Hello, could you see the size information of your model in the right bar?
And could you tell me the version of your plugin. If you try to move the camera in D5, does the model appear?
HI. I meant what LunaLang added, i.e. the model coordinates must be at x=0, y=0, z=0. That is, your project’s axes on D5 must be at those coordinates to see it, because the entire loaded project becomes a block with axes, just like you load a D5 object. It’s easiest when you design in Revit to start at an edge of a building wall from those 0,0,0 coordinates and then extend it with the design, so when you load with sync in D5, which takes you from those coordinates, you’ll see the project, so you will have hassle-free synchronization. You should get your project on Revit, move it to those coordinates and check if it’s okay, if it doesn’t, it could be that it’s the version of the plugin that doesn’t work on Revit 2024, so listen to what LunaLag can do to help you .
It’s about understanding how the D5 program works in conjunction with Revit and managing it without consequences. Once you learn this, everything else comes easily.
Come on, you’re almost there.
Hi @LunaLang. Selecting the Revit model results in the attached inspector readings. The Revit Sync plug-in is version 0.4.6.006 and I am running D5 version 2.5.2.0332. And no, moving the camera does not result in the Revit model appearing. Thanks for your help figuring this out.
Hmm…again, thank you for your input. None of the models I have managed to open in D5 have had x=0, y=0, z=0 locations and some have shown up and others have not. I wonder what the difference is and why this model showed initially and then disappeared.
