Hello all, 

I'm trying to create a 3d PDF file from a Revit building. I'm using Bentley I-model plug-inn and the Bentley I viewer. I get a nice 3D pdf, but only with some basic colors. Is there a way to create one with more detailed materials or textures?

I have tried the PDF revit from Tetra 4D and it will give you the textures! You can also choose to not have textures if you are doing a quick model. I suggest to check out thier facebook site and download the trial. works well and they just announced the release for Monday the 5th. 2012. Check it out!

Thanks for your reaction.

I tried Tetra trial version, but the Revit pluginn doesn't work. I can try to re-install it.

Anyone an other solution to get textures in a 3D pdf?

Tetra 4d has recently released the new version of 3D PDF for Revit 2014 which includes updates for more realistic textures and materials. You can create 3D PDFs directly from the Revit Add-Ins menu, where you can accurately export all 3D model elements including structure, color and texture to 3D PDF. Hope this helps!
