About this asset

This NYC Snow Globe is a Revit family decorative object featuring a clear glass dome housing simplified miniature city buildings. The object consists of a hemispherical glass dome resting on a cylindrical base. Contained within the dome is a stylized representation of a cityscape, composed of various geometric extrusions that mimic the massing of New York skyscrapers. The base is finished in a smooth, light-toned material, contrasting with the varied heights and profiles of the building forms inside. The proportions are balanced for use as a small-scale interior accessory, providing a playful yet architectural accent piece suitable for adding detail to interior renderings or BIM models in a residential context.

The download is a 389 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this file functions as a loadable family. Users can place the object onto horizontal surfaces such as shelving, side tables, or desks using the standard component placement tool. Because it is a simple geometry, it can be easily scaled or adjusted for specific project needs within the family editor. Materials can be modified in the project browser to suit a specific interior design scheme, while its lightweight nature ensures it does not impact performance in complex interior scenes.

This model is ideal for interior designers and visualisers looking to populate residential projects with realistic, lived-in details. It works effectively when staged on bookshelves, console tables, or office desks to add character to a space. Professionals often search for such items when styling living rooms, study areas, or boutique hotel rooms to create a sense of personality. It pairs well with other tabletop accessories, books, and lamps to complete a curated look in high-quality architectural visualisations.
