RFA and RVT Exchange: Native to ARCHICAD

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.
