ArchiCAD to Revit

[Anonymous]

What's the best way to export ArchiCAD to Revit? (In terms of retain the 3d geomery).

I tried the IFC format and it's not 100% retained.

Any idea?

OK, I finally figured this out. With the help from this forum and some other websites.

The model has the MEP stuff in it.
Once I hide the MEP stuff in the layer palette.

Use what NCornia suggested, and choose "visible all elements (on all stories)" under the export option.

All of the major geometry is retained.

I guess the trick is to export each trade separately. But the BREP setting by NCornia is also the key.

Thanks again for all of your suggestion.

Yes you should always break the model up according to discipline - it makes managing the models generally much easier.
