You export your scene from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/technology/software/revit_architecture.htm&quot;&gt;Revit&amp;reg&lt;/a&gt; via the FBX format and then use tools within &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rand.com/imaginit/1/technology/software/autodesk_3dsmaxdesign.htm&quot;&gt;3ds Max&amp;reg&lt;/a&gt; to prepare for a real-time viewing experience. Finally, use the iViewer3D Packager to bundle your project into an .exe file for distribution. &lt;/p&gt;
