On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be showing you the process of connecting Power BI visual data to 3D model images created in Revit...

Essentially, this is the next best thing to actually having your models IN Power BI... We'll get to that next week... ;)

If you are wondering what this could look like, check out this link (https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIj...) and click the images of the building on the top right... See how you can interact with the image and the data dynamically?! That is what I will show you in the episode...

Topics Covered:
Exporting Images
Making a "smart" layered SVG file (Adobe Illustrator)
Using "Synoptic Panel" in Power BI
Tying it all together...
