Import objects (windows, doors) RVT on Archicad 28

Xavi — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 09:46:12 GMT

Hello

I would like to import files RVT in archicad 28.

Looks like that I just have an option RFA to open in Archicad, but the objects that I download are in RVT.

I tried to look for the installation of RFA and RVT Geometry Exchange for Archicad 28, but I just find for Archicad 24?

Thanks

The RVT (Revit) file format is the Revit Project File, which will contain all elements (including Doors and Windows), plus documentation (Layouts).

The RFA (Revit Family) file format is the Family file (called Library Part in Archicad).

So, if you just want the Doors and Windows, you should get their RFA files from the person you received the RVT file from. Or, if you downloaded them in a RVT file, then you would probably have to open the RVT files in Revit and save the RFA files from it. Then, you could use the File > Libraries and Objects > Import RFA as GDL Object command to bring it into Archicad and convert it into a Object-type Library Part.

If you want to load the RVT file into your project, currently the only way is to place it as a Hotlinked Module into Archicad: File > External Content > Place Hotlink:

Here is the relevant Archicad Help page with additional info:
