What Empoli is
Empoli is an AI ecosystem for architects and developers that turns 2D plans into editable 3D models and supports client walkthroughs. Its 2D-to-3D tool is built into Revit and lists exports to Revit, IFC, and VR-ready formats. Empoli RTR accepts FBX files exported from Revit, ArchiCAD, or SketchUp and automatically applies lighting, materials, and detail to uploaded models. It can create a link that clients open on a laptop, tablet, or phone without installing software. The listed compatible tools and formats include Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, and FBX. Empoli BIM is still in development; automated building-code validation and multi-discipline clash detection are planned. Empoli is available on the web and iOS. The RTR app supports iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 15.0 or later, or iPadOS 15.0 or later. Users can access, export, or delete their data through app Settings.
