A 3D model is more tangible than a 2D printout.
STL is a file format native to stereolithography. The file format is supported by many 3D printers. As such, it is often used for rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing.

I have been using the Revit STL Exporter for 2009. I would like to continue to use it now that I have upgraded to 2010. When will a new exporter be available?
The Revit team sprang into action. We upgraded STL Export to the Revit 2010 family:
STL Exporter for Revit Platform
For our Revit users who have upgraded to 2010, please continue to output STL files and share your feedback with us at [email protected]. We love hearing from you - especially getting pictures of the 3D models you have printed.
Keeping our technology previews current with our latest product releases is alive in the lab.
