China 3D/BIM Plugin for Enhanced Design Solutions – Leading Suppliers & Factory Innovations
Why do we provide the Plugin?
Some 'generic' 3D/BIM model viewers often experience phenomena such as components randomly missing, materials being messed up, attributes lost, or even entire floors 'disappearing into thin air' when opening proprietary format models like .rvt, .dgn, .nwc, or .sldprt. These are not accidental, but stem from the inherent limitations of the Open Design Alliance (ODA) solution they use at the core when handling complex 3D/BIM models.
This poses an unacceptable risk for users who rely on accurate 3D/BIM model data for collaboration, production/construction, inspection, or operations and maintenance management.
Therefore, we invest a large amount of R&D resources to develop data export plugins based on the official API for each mainstream BIM/CAD platform individually, to prevent the above issues. Moreover, our export plugins can also be synchronized and adapted with the official version updates of Revit, Tekla, Bentley, SolidWorks, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do generic 3D/BIM viewers experience data loss?
Generic viewers typically use third-party core solutions like the Open Design Alliance (ODA) to open proprietary CAD/BIM formats. Due to the inherent limitations of these non-official cores, complex models frequently suffer from missing components, displaced materials, and lost attributes.
How do your proprietary plugins resolve these display errors?
Instead of relying on generic readers, we develop custom export plugins using the official APIs of each platform (such as Revit, Tekla, and Bentley). This ensures that data is extracted and converted exactly as intended by the original CAD/BIM software.
Are the plugins compatible with the latest versions of Revit and Tekla?
Yes. Our plugins are actively maintained and updated to align with official platform updates. Currently, we support Revit up to version 2025 and Tekla Structures up to version 2023.
How do I convert PDMS and SP3D models?
For PDMS (Rvm+Att) and SP3D (Vue+Xml) models, you can open them inside Autodesk Navisworks Manage, and then use our dedicated Navisworks Export Plugin to export the file into the GLZIP format.
When will the AutoCAD plugin be available for download?
The AutoCAD plugin (supporting version 2019-2024, .dwg format) is currently under active development. Once the testing phase is complete, the download link will be updated and activated on this page.
