The following workflows (previously available in an Add-on) are now integrated in ARCHICAD for easier file exchange with Revit file formats up to 2021.
•Import RFA as GDL Object which now also supports the creation of MEP Equipment from a Revit Family Files. MEP Objects inherit data and connections from the original RFA file making them available for connection to Duct and Pipe elements.
•Export 3D Model as Revit 3D Geometry
•Hotlink 3D RVT Model
•At Hotlink: ARCHICAD now handles Revit’s Discipline filter. What you see in Revit is what you get in ARCHICAD.
See Working with RFA & RVT Files.

Hotlink 3D RVT Model
Use this workflow to import 3D model elements from Revit RVT files, placing them as a Hotlink in ARCHICAD. The resulting GDL objects use the precise geometries and properties, including true surface colors, of the imported elements. The “Discipline” view filter set in Revit is also ...
Import RFA as GDL Object
This command imports a Revit Family (RFA) object (mostly manufacturer content) and generates a GDL Object, Door or Window having the same precise geometry and all parameters.
The resulting object will lose its editable parametric capabilities.
