Lumion LiveSync connects real-time modeling software
The Lumion LiveSync connector establishes an active communication bridge between Lumion and design applications such as SketchUp, Revit, and ArchiCAD. This link ensures that any modification you make to your model within the source software is automatically and immediately reflected in the Lumion window. This way, you can perceive your project within a high-quality visualized environment while you work, completely eliminating the need to manually export and import files. 🚀
Optimize and streamline your creative process
This continuous synchronization enables a much more dynamic iterative workflow. Professionals can alter geometry, change materials, or adjust lighting parameters in their main modeling tool and check the result in Lumion almost simultaneously. This helps make design decisions with greater agility, as you perceive the visual effect of each adjustment in the final rendered context without pauses or interruptions.
Key advantages of using LiveSync:- Instant visualization of geometric and material changes in a rendered environment.
- Eliminates repetitive steps of exporting, saving, and importing files between programs.
- Facilitates testing different design and lighting options in seconds.
Moving a wall in SketchUp and seeing how the sunset light changes in Lumion before releasing the mouse is a luxury that avoids hours of reprocessing scenes.
Setting up the live link
To activate LiveSync, you must install a specific plugin in the modeling software you use. After installing and configuring this plugin, you start the synchronization session directly from your modeling program's interface. Lumion runs in parallel on the same computer, displaying the updated model. It is essential that both applications are open on the same machine for the link to work without errors.
Requirements and basic steps:- Install the official LiveSync plugin for your modeling software (SketchUp, Revit, or ArchiCAD).
- Open the modeling program and Lumion simultaneously on the same computer.
- Start synchronization from the plugin menu within your design software.
Impact on design productivity
Integrating Lumion LiveSync transforms how visualized projects are developed and reviewed. The ability to receive immediate visual feedback while modeling not only speeds up the work but also enriches the quality of the final result. It allows iterating freely and making decisions based on a realistic representation that evolves at the same pace as your ideas. 🏗️
