Import and Use Revit Families as GDL Objects

Note: This feature is planned to be released as part of a stand-alone ARCHICAD 24 add-on. The ARCHICAD Action Center will notify you when the add-on becomes available.

Users can directly create Objects, Doors and Windows from Revit Families (RFA; mostly manufacturer content) and use them in the ARCHICAD project. The generated ARCHICAD library items have the same precise geometry and all parameters (in non-editable mode) as those stored in RFA.

ARCHICAD uses the ODA Teigha BIM Engine, which imports RFA file versions 2015-2020.
