Top 3D/BIM Plugins for Manufacturers: Best China Suppliers & Factory Solutions
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
Generic viewers often use ODA libraries which can lead to missing components or messed-up materials. Our plugins use official APIs to ensure 100% data integrity and accuracy for complex BIM models.
Our Revit plugin supports versions from 2014 all the way to the latest 2025 release, covering both .rvt and .rfa formats.
For PDMS (Rvm+Att) and SP3D (Vue+Xml), you can open these files in Navisworks Manage and then use our Navisworks Export Plugin to generate the GLZIP file.
We synchronize our development with official software updates from Autodesk, Bentley, and Trimble to ensure compatibility with the newest versions as they are released.
The AutoCAD plugin for versions 2019-2024 is currently in the final stages of development and will be available for download soon.
GLZIP is our optimized lightweight format designed for high-performance web viewing while retaining all original BIM attributes and geometry data.
