FBX provides a verified direct overlap from Revit 2026 3D views to Blender 4.5. The newer Blender importer is Experimental; BIM semantics and exact material fidelity are not guaranteed.
Choose by workflow and version scope. Vendor documentation establishes support facts. Route suggestions are FileCompat assessments, not measured guarantees of transfer fidelity.

Workflows to review
Export the Revit 3D view as FBX using the required target format compatibility.
Import FBX into Blender 4.5.
Review geometry and materials against the source view.
Newer Blender FBX importer is Experimental. Geometry transfer does not establish preservation of Revit BIM semantics or parametric intelligence. Exact material fidelity remains a FileCompat assessment, not a verified guarantee. Autodesk source context is Revit LT 2026.
