### Setting Up 3D Model

1. Have your model ready in Revit then head to the Lumion plugin tab
2. Use Lumion Plugin's "Export" button to export in COLLADA (.dae):[ Click here to install](https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/en/Detail/Index?id=1257010617153832891\&appLang=en\&os=Win64).

### Blender Scripting

4. Open Blender 3D and open the exported model. You will see that the model's textures are all black or transparent. We will change that using a code script.&#x20;
5. Switch to the Scripting Workspace.&#x20;

7. Copy the code from below and paste it into the text editor.

<pre class="language-python"><code class="lang-python"><strong>import bpy
</strong>for mat in bpy.data.materials:
    if hasattr(mat.node_tree, "nodes"):
        for node in mat.node_tree.nodes:
            if node.type == 'BSDF_PRINCIPLED':
                for input in node.inputs:
                    if input.name == 'Alpha':
                        input.default_value = 1
</code></pre>

8. Run the Python script by clicking on the green play button.

9. Once Blender is done running the script, the model should show its original colors as seen in Revit. Export to .fbx, .obj, or .dae. Recommend .dae for maintaining textures.
