Summary


There we are. We made a complete, free-roaming, real-time environment from a CAD or BIM model. That was not too hard, was it?

When all you need is a quick walk through around a CAD model, this chapter will help you a lot. This chapter explained the basic steps of exporting your model into Unity and adding a sun and a navigation control system.

It is wise to have a fast and predictable recipe, as it usually works out fine, especially when you are pressed by a deadline looming around the corner. This basic setup is the minimum that is required for an interactive scene.

Job done? Not quite. What we have shown in this quick overview might be impressive for your very first project, but if it is needed to sell a design, there is much more to it! The next chapter will start with getting a better lighting setup, including shadows.
