So only Autodesk can save and open Revit files.<BR /> <BR /> IFC is currently the best option.

I am asking what I hope will be a simple question, but will no doubt receive a complicated answer.<BR /> <BR /> I work in a small office using Macs and we are looking into our BIM options, Vectorworks or Archicad. However like most people in the construction industry many people that we work with use Revit.<BR /> <BR /> Is there a way of opening Revit files in Archicad? Or does the original model file have to be exported as an IFC file?<BR /> <BR /> Many thanks in advance,<BR /> <BR /> Rob</T></DIV> Wed, 16 Oct 2013 09:38:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Achicad-Revit-compatibility/m-p/204913#M25728 Anonymous 2013-10-16T09:38:33Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Achicad-Revit-compatibility/m-p/204914#M25729 Actually, the answer is simple.<BR /> Both Revit and ArchiCAD have proprietary format which are not public.
