STL Exporter for Autodesk Revit 2009 products
A few days ago (2008-05-12) over on Autodesk Labs, Scott Sheppard announced the availability of a “STL Exporter” Add-in for Autodesk Revit 2009 based products:

The below quote is how Autodesk Labs explains “STL Exporter” for Revit 2009 products:
Create 3D Prints of your Revit 2009 models. As architects and engineers start their digital designs earlier and keep them digital for longer, they want a way to still physically interact with their designs. With the economical availability of 3D printers this has become possible. 3D printed models increasingly serve as a critical part of the design process to study design options and improve communication between project members and owners. The STL Exporter for the Revit 2009 family of products is a proof of concept project that we are working on. It is designed to take a 3D Revit building information model and create an STL file that can be used for 3D Printing.
Thanks for helping spread the word. We really want to hear from Revit users as to whether this is a good idea or not.
