Uploading your first BIM model
A step-by-step walkthrough of how to upload a Revit file and activate your digital twin in WeReno — from file prep to live twin in under 30 minutes.
Overview
Getting your BIM model into WeReno is the first step to turning a static Revit file into a live, navigable digital twin. This tutorial walks you through the entire upload process — from preparing your .rvt file to verifying your zone structure and inviting your first stakeholders.
You’ll learn how to
-
Prepare your Revit file for upload: purge unused elements, audit the model, and export
-
Upload via the WeReno dashboard and monitor the processing status in real time
-
Review auto-generated zones and correct any misclassified spaces before going live
-
Invite team members and configure their access level before sharing the twin
Key takeaways
-
1
Most Revit files under 500MB process and go live in under 10 minutes.
-
2
Zone classification is automatic but should be reviewed before sharing with stakeholders.
-
3
You can invite up to 50 collaborators in the free trial — no additional setup required.
The upload process is designed to take less than 30 minutes from file export to live twin. Once your model is live, every stakeholder you invite sees the same spatial view — no additional software, no BIM training required.
