Export a 3D view from Revit, feed it to Volexi, and walk away with a 4K photoreal image. The linework, windows, and facade stay locked to your BIM model.
Volexi renders a Revit 3D view as a photorealistic image in 30–60 seconds. Export the view as PNG from Revit, upload, select materials and daylight, and download a 4K render — no round-trip to Enscape or Lumion.
What the numbers say
Inside VolexiRevit practices in the Volexi beta reported a shift from 45 minutes of Enscape setup per view to about 90 seconds of Volexi export-plus-render, measured across 312 real project views from three architecture studios in Q1 2026.
How it works
Three steps from a Revit 3D view to a photorealistic rendered image.
Set your camera, turn on shaded or consistent-colours visual style, and make sure walls, glazing, and key furniture are visible. Turn off section-box clutter.
File → Export → Image and Animations → Image. Pick PNG, set the dimensions to at least 2048 pixels wide, and save locally.
Drag the PNG into the Volexi editor, choose a lighting and material preset, and click Render. A 4K photoreal image downloads in under a minute.
Why Revit teams choose Volexi
No — and you do not need it to. Volexi renders exported PNG or JPG images from any 3D view, so the BIM model never leaves your machine.
Revit keeps hundreds of megabytes of parametric data that a renderer does not need. Volexi reads the pixel output of a 3D view, which is lighter, easier to share, and keeps your BIM source confidential.
Yes, with Architecture Lock on. The render aligns to the edges in your Revit view using Canny-edge guidance.
That means the window mullions where you placed them, floor-to-ceiling heights that match your view, and doorways that open where the BIM says they open. The photoreal texturing happens around your geometry, not through it.
Yes. Drop each exported PNG into Volexi as a separate scene in the same project and render them with a shared config.
Studios use this for option studies — lobby at morning, lobby at evening, cafeteria view, reception view — all rendered consistently in the same session without re-exporting or re-setting up a third-party engine.
For static presentation renders, often yes. For live walkthroughs or VR, those tools still matter.
Volexi is a still-image AI renderer. Use Enscape or Twinmotion when you need real-time navigation or client VR sessions. Use Volexi when you need publication-quality stills without the setup overhead.
