Working with both Revit, Rhino, and occasionally Sketchup it would be incredibly beneficial to be able to create a model, add materials, and then export it as a standalone object / scene. Then merge multiple objects or scenes together to create a larger scene from different software. This allows multiple users to work on an overall model and lets them use a program that they are comfortable with, increasing speed and workflow for the team. Also, it provides the ability to apply software for its benefits and not be bogged down by its shortcomings again improving workflow.
