Model export from Revit

- Next up we're going to take a look at our sample model in Revit. Let's open this up. So we're go to our desktop, exercise files, chapter two, revit, building 01. And this is the building that we're eventually going to bring into Maya and that we're going to render over top of the building that exists in the frame. And so what I want to show you in this video is basically how we can export an fbx directly out of Revit but then also why that's not how we want to do this because when we're doing the whole process of taking a CAD model and then bringing it into software that is more sort of in a different space than this traditional CAD software, there's just some under-the-hood ways that geometry is dealt with that we can refine and improve so things are easier to work with and smoother to work with once we're in Maya. I'm going to show you a few steps of how we can take it from this place into a place that's going to be a lot easier to work with than with if we just exported it…
