Is there a way to turn zone stamps to normal texts when exporting .ifc for revit?

[Su Wei Hlaing]

I am testing out different .ifc exporting methods for Revit and zones really give me trouble. Cause in Revit, they are translated to rooms and they don't appear for certain rooms even though in Archicad the zone works fine. 
Is there a way to change the contents of the zones to normal text so that it appears as an annotation rather than a room label in Revit?

Operating system used: Windows 27.0.0

You can place associated labels linked to each zone with the info you want to include, and then turn the zone stamps off for the Model View Option for the view option you are exporting.

It will read as any other label would read.

DWG export, this works...

IFC, and RVT, see below.

IFCs will only contain 3D content. So no you can’t show a zone as annotation and bring it through in an IFC. The best way to do that would be save a DWG and link that in to Revit. 

I actually just spent the last week battling with getting Archicad Zones to Revit Rooms. 
My Findings:

- try only exporting the zones to an IFC

- use the Graphisift Improved IFC import for Revit addon

- don’t link the ifc, open it with the above addon

- Revit was giving me all these warnings about line segment too length

- Revit repeatedly just corrupted some geometry of the room separator (boundary) lines. Nothing I tried fixed it and I had to manually correct in Revit. 
- if a room was less than 1 ft wide Revit just wouldn’t enclose the room. This is apparently a know Revit limitation. 🤯

- avoid zones that are overlapping, that seems to confuse Revit.
