RealityConnect for Revit - Release Notes

Version 26.7.0

Release date: 28 July 2026

New features

• Textured Family import mode — Load assets as a reusable Revit family that keeps its real texture. The plugin writes a textured OBJ, imports it into a Generic Model family, saves the reusable .rfa to the generated files folder, and places an instance in the scene. This single mode replaces the standalone Export as Family action and the separate External/Textured OBJ modes.

• Textured assets with the environment — Assets imported as a Textured Family can be displayed at the same time as the streamed environment; the environment is carved out behind each asset so its real texture shows through.

• Perspective view support — Environment streaming and view-dependent refinement now follow the camera in perspective 3D views, in addition to orthographic views.

• Organization switching — Switch to a different organization directly from the connection dialog, signing in with another account when needed.

Improvements

• Reorganized the Prevu3D ribbon and plugin panels for a clearer workflow (Connect, Display Environment, Manage Assets, Settings).

• Enhanced the visual rendering of loaded assets.

• Consolidated the asset import modes into Textured Family and Embedded, and renamed the output setting to Generated files folder.

• Added support for Revit 2027 and dropped support for Revit 2023. Supported versions are now 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

Version 26.4.0

Release date: 20 April 2026

Improvements

• Improved Display Mode by reusing existing data, eliminating the need to reload the environment and resulting in better performance when switching modes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed camera position being offset when the Survey Point had a non-zero offset (unit conversion was applied in the wrong order relative to the coordinate space transform)

• Fixed environment clipping on display toggle by returning a large default bounding box before meshes are loaded, and triggering a Regenerate once the first meshes arrive

Version 26.3.0

Release date: 26 March 2026

Improvements

• Improved HTTP client for more robust proxy resolution.
