Is there a way to export natively a PLN to RVT format ?

Hi,

I know you can to some extent export an archicad model to revit using IFC.

After asking some question to abvent (an european publisher of archicad) their CEO affirmed that it was possible to export natively a *.pln file to revit i.e. creating a *.rvt file in archicad.

After downloading AC21 an trying it in demo mode I couldn't find any option to export to the rvt format.

I know there is a revit plugin to import archicad files but I think it still relies on IFC to do the conversion.

Did he got confused between IFC export and real native export when making is statement or am I missing something ?

Sounds like your typical sales pitch "of course we have that option".

There is no way to natively save ARCHICAD model to .RVT format that I am aware off.

IFC is still by far the better option though.
