Native to Power BI
No server, no pluginA custom visual that lives inside the report's own data model. It runs in Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service, online or offline — no external host, no plugin, no separate login.
Power BI Viewer · BIM × BI
Your model, live inside your dashboard.

Two worlds, finally connected
The 3D model
Rich Revit geometry — locked inside specialist authoring tools that executives, clients and operations teams never open.
The business data
Schedules, costs, status and asset registers — alive in Power BI, but just rows and bars with no spatial context.
Power BI Viewer removes the bridge. The model becomes a first-class citizen of the report itself — embedded, portable, and cross-filtered with every other visual on the page.

What Power BI Viewer does
The model travels with the report
One self-contained fileLoad a model once and it is saved into the report, then restored automatically whenever the report is reopened, shared or published. Send a single file and whoever opens it sees the model.
Six visualization styles
Rendered to WireframeRendered, Shaded, Arctic, Solid, Pen and Wireframe. Dress the same model for an executive presentation, a technical review or a data-coloured analysis — one click, no re-export.
Data-driven colouring
Any field, liveColour elements straight from report data — categorical palettes for status, phase or trade; smooth gradients for cost, progress or area. Turn the building into a live heat-map of any metric.
Two-way cross-filtering
Model and dashboardClick an element and every visual on the page filters to it. Filter any chart and the model highlights and flies the camera to the matching elements. Spatial and data questions answer each other.
One model, many datasets
Map several tables at onceThe Element ID field accepts several columns simultaneously — doors, windows, walls and more — all mapped onto the same model. No need to flatten everything into one table first.
Branded hover tooltips
Element-level insightHover any element to read exactly the fields the author chose — mark, fire rating, cost, status — in a clean, brand-styled tooltip instead of a generic system one.
Presentation-ready by default
Shadows, themes, edgesCast shadows with sun direction and height, adjustable edge outlines, and Dark, Light or Soft themes with custom backgrounds — so every view drops cleanly into any report design.

Put it to work
Construction progress
Colour the model by build status or phase, then click a zone to filter its schedule and cost cards right beside it.
Cost & value heat-map
Gradient-colour elements by cost or value to spot the expensive areas of a project at a single glance.
Design review & QA
Switch to Pen or Wireframe mode and map issue data onto elements for a clean, drawing-quality technical review.
Asset & FM handover
Hover any asset to read its register data, then click to drill into its maintenance and operational records.
Client & executive reporting
A polished, branded Rendered view with shadows that reads instantly in a board meeting — no training, no Revit.

Questions, answered
Do my stakeholders need Revit?
No — only Power BI. Anyone who can open the report can explore the model.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The viewer makes no external network calls and works fully offline.
Where is the model stored?
Inside the Power BI report itself — embedded in the report's data model and restored on reopen.
Does it work in the Power BI web Service?
Yes — both Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service.
Can I colour the model by my own data?
Yes — any text field as a categorical palette, or any numeric field as a gradient.
Can it filter the rest of my dashboard?
Yes. Clicking an element cross-filters every other visual on the page, and the reverse.
BIM meets BI
