Request for Guidance on Retrieving Category Metadata from blender exported .glb Model

Speckle Help
1

Hello Support team,

I am planning to use Speckle for get 3D model from .Revit file. So planning to use Revit 2026 and Blender connectors for get glb model.

Is there any feature provided by Speckle to add metadata/information related to each object when sending to blender, particularly the category of each object (e.g., beam, slab, floor, etc.). When I export gltf/glb from blender, it contains information of each objects category.

Could you kindly guide me on how to retrieve the category data for each object in the transformed model? I want to build BIM app on multiplatform.

I’m new to Speckle, but I’ve been exploring it and really enjoying the learning process—it’s proving to be a powerful and versatile too.

Thanks and regards,
Dhruv Modh

Hey @Dhruv_Modh ,

We haven’t added support for Revit 2026 yet, but you can use Revit 2022 to 2025.

We organize Revit models by Level and then by Category. So when received in Blender, your outliner will reflect what you see in the web app. Each level and category will have their own collection.

Hi @gokermu

Thanks for your answer. I tried today and get data level-wise.

In Blender, is it possible to retrieve information about which category an object belongs to, such as floor, ceiling, door, windows, etc.?

As you can see from the screenshot above, objects are organized by their categories too.
