BIM Q&A | How to Import Revit Models into Lumion

There is a dedicated plugin called the Revit to Lumion plugin designed specifically for importing Revit models into Lumion. This plugin can be downloaded from Baidu.

When using this plugin, the Revit file is converted into a .dae file format, which Lumion supports for import. However, it is important to ensure that neither the .dae file nor its file path contains Chinese characters. If Chinese characters are present in the filename or path, the imported model in Lumion will appear black, and you won’t be able to modify the materials.

Additionally, it seems that Revit material names cannot be in Chinese either, although this detail is not entirely certain.
