The image below shows my test model opened in Revit:Īnother option is to link RVT files into Archicad, which is also easy, using the same method as when Hotlinked Modules and IFC are linked into the model: But the quality of the 3D model is high with correct geometry, as well as surfaces. If you want to have a wall in Archicad translated into a wall in Revit, you must use IFC. It’s important to note that it’s only geometry that is exported - that is, not drawings - and the objects do not turn into walls, doors, decks, roofs and stairs in Revit, but are only shown as geometry ("in place mass"). There are some different settings that are mainly allows yout to determine which properties to export.

As the illustration above shows this is completely painless. Export the Archicad model as 3D geometry as RVT files to Revit 2017.Hotlink 3D geometry from RVT files in Archicad from Revit 2011-2018.Import RFA objects like GDL-0 objects (door, window or object) from RFA files in version 2011-2018.There are 3 import and export options with the smart plugin:

With a little help from GRAPHISOFT, BIM6x has transformed this into a coherent and useful solution in Archicad. The plugin is based on Teigha technology from the Open Design Alliance, which also develops the technology behind the DWG translator, which we already know from Archicad.

You can read more about the plugin and download directly from BIM6x's website.īesides the fact that it quite makes it obvious to open Revit files in Archicad, the new plugin also means that it now also is possible to open Revit files on a Mac… The American Archicad supplyer, BIM6x, has released a free plugin for Archicad, which allows you to import and export files directly to Revit in RVT or RFA format.
