Introduction

If you’re an architect or interior designer using Revit, you may find it necessary to incorporate more diverse and high-quality 3D objects into your projects.Native Revit models often lack the level of detail needed for high-end renderings and are not visually compelling in presentations. Additionally, the limited variety and relatively low quality of assets in Enscape’s default library lead many users to import external 3D objects to enhance the visual richness and realism of their scenes.

We have prepared thousands of 3D objects for you. After reading this article, you’ll gain access to a world of high-quality and diverse 3D assets, all carefully crafted with exceptional detail to enhance your design projects.

Before starting, it is important to know that we use the .assetpkg format to import objects. This format contains a complete set of the object’s geometry, along with all the textures and materials applied to it. This feature allows you to edit any part of the object, modify its materials, or create similar variations to add to your personal library.Also you can use enscape to import object geometry in your revit project.

These powerful tools allow you to import anything you want, including furniture, beds, consoles, tables, and etc, that present your projects with high-quality, photorealistic visuals.

🛠Steps to Import 3d Objects

  1. Open the Asset Library
    Go to the Enscape tab in Revit and click on the Asset Library.
  2. Select Custom Asset
    From the top tabs of the Asset Library window, click on Custom Asset.
  3. Set Storage Path
    If this is your first time using it, Enscape will ask you to set a file path for storing custom assets.Define a directory where your custom asset library will be stored.
  4. Open the Custom Asset Editor
    At the bottom of the window, click Open the Custom Asset Editor.
  5. Import Your Project
    From the top menu, select Import Project, then choose the .assetpkg file format.
  6. Save Your Asset
    After importing, click Save to add the asset to your custom library

Now your custom asset is ready to use. Simply go to the Custom Asset tab whenever you need to use it again.

Note: This setup only needs to be done once. After configuring it, you can reuse your custom assets without repeating the entire process.

🧱 Adjust Asset Properties (Scale, Category, Tags)

Now that your model is loaded, configure it:

Category: Choose an appropriate category (e.g., Furniture, Vegetation).

Name: Give your object a clear, recognizable name.

Scale: Set the correct scale — Enscape uses meters by default.

Bounding Box: Adjust the bounding box if necessary.
