Autodesk Integration (ACC & Revit)

Connect Splat Labs to the Autodesk ecosystem so your construction and design teams can attach photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splat captures to issues, documents, BIM elements, and schedule milestones — without leaving the Autodesk workflow.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)

Prerequisites

1. A Splat Labs account with Gaussian Splats uploaded and link sharing enabled
2. Your project's viewer URL: https://cloud.rockrobotic.com/viewer/{project-id}?view=splat

Method 1: Link Splats to ACC Issues

Attach a Splat Labs viewer URL to any issue in BIM Collaborate Pro or Autodesk Build. When a team member opens the issue, they click the link to explore the full 3D scene — not just flat photos.

1. Create or open an issue in Autodesk Build or BIM Collaborate Pro
2. In the Description or Comments, paste the Splat Labs viewer URL
3. Add a note like "3D capture: [link]" so reviewers know to open it

Method 2: Link Splats to ACC Documents

Store a library of Gaussian Splat captures alongside drawings and specs in Autodesk Docs.

1. In Autodesk Docs, create a folder: Reality Capture / Gaussian Splats
2. For each capture, add a document containing the viewer URL, capture date, and location
3. Organize by area, level, or date

Method 3: 4D Progress Monitoring

Use Splat Labs 4D Timelines to create a time-indexed record of construction progress, then link it to ACC schedule milestones.

1. Capture the jobsite weekly or monthly with a PortalCam, Lixel L2 Pro, or drone
2. Upload each capture and link them using the Over Time feature in Splat Labs
3. Attach the 4D Timeline URL to the relevant schedule activity or milestone in ACC
4. When discrepancies arise, create an ACC issue and paste the viewer URL as visual evidence

Access Control for Sensitive Projects

Revit Integration

Splat Labs works alongside Revit for as-built verification, design-in-context review, and progress monitoring.

Method 1: Shared Parameter Hyperlinks

Store the Splat Labs viewer URL as a shared parameter on Revit elements for one-click access from the Properties pane.

1. Go to Manage → Shared Parameters and create a new parameter:
   • Name: SplatLabs_URL | Type: Text | Group: SplatLabs
2. Go to Manage → Project Parameters → Add and assign SplatLabs_URL to relevant categories (Rooms, Levels, Site)
3. Select an element with a corresponding capture and paste the viewer URL into SplatLabs_URL
4. Open the URL in a browser alongside Revit for side-by-side comparison

Optional additional parameters:

For large projects, a Dynamo script can batch-populate SplatLabs_URL on all Room elements using a naming convention that maps Revit room IDs to Splat Labs project IDs.

Method 2: Web-Based Split View (Autodesk Platform Services)

Build a web page with the APS (formerly Forge) 3D viewer for Revit alongside the Splat Labs viewer in an iframe — both visible in the same browser window for stakeholder reviews.

<iframe
  src="https://cloud.rockrobotic.com/viewer/{project-id}?view=splat"
  width="100%"
  height="100%"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
  loading="eager">
</iframe>

See Embedding for full iframe details.

What's Coming

Splat Labs is building a native Revit Connector — a dockable panel inside Revit that loads the Splat Labs cloud viewer, with a project browser, element-level linking, and camera synchronization between Revit and the 3D splat. Contact us for early access.

For ACC, a native integration is planned with OAuth2 authentication, Issues API linking, and schedule milestone connections.
