Claire, Interior Designer • 2019

I'd like to be able to use the Delta Bath Trinsic FG559LF in Maya, so I need a .obj or .fbx file. Is there any way to get one of these formats?

Claire, Interior Designer

Thanks for getting back to me Liz! I wonder if anyone knows if it's even possible to convert to one of the formats I need. I don't have much experience in this specific arena. Can a Revit file be conveted to an .obj or .fbx? Is it even possible? 1 More Answer

Liz, Modlar Administrator

Hi Tania, yes that makes sense. Not every product on Modlar has BIM/CAD files. If you are looking for those files specifically, you can do a search (even just a blank search) and tick the file type you want in the 'Formats' filter on the left hand side. That way you will only see products that have the file you need. 2 More Answers

According to a revit forum search, you can load your family in a new hosted template and then lin... 2 More Answers

Hi Sivan, It depends on which device you are using, you can try right-clicking the file and looking for the 'unzip' option. Some devices even let you just double-click it. If those two don't work, try Googling 'unzip on (device)'. I hope that works! 2 More Answers
