Is there any way to get Revit RVT files into ArchiCAD 27 Solo without external translation?
I am aware that I could:
Get the creator of the files (or anyone with Revit) to export as IFC
Use an online file converter (think they're all paid)
Get a full ArchiCAD licence and place as hotlink
But first, I thought I would confirm that it isn't possible natively in AC27 Solo or that there aren't any other easy routes. The information isn't that clear online - I have seen that the RFA / RVT geometry exchange is now integrated into AC since 25, but it doesn't specify that this doesn't work in Solo. Trying to use it however, it looks like this is only available via the insert hotlink option which is disabled in Solo. Is this the only way the geometry exchange works?
Then I wondered if it might work differently in earlier versions and maybe I could import via the geometry exchange add-on in an earlier version and then open in 27? Doubtful, but possible! Or any other good routes to get into these RVTs.
Cheers.

This article talks about the differences between the Solo and Full versions of Archicad:

Laszlo, the article you posted had little to do with the original question which was, is there is a way to import .rvt into Archicad 27 Solo. It doesn't appear there is any work around here with solo though.
Anyone have any good ideas?

Guessing the reason @Laszlo Nagy posted that link almost 11 months ago is that one of AC Solo limitations might be that it does not include the RVA converter that AC Full has and that the user should contact his reseller about it…

Yes, maybe my post was not elaborate enough. I supposed that the original poster knew that Revit files could be brought into Archicad only by Hotlinking (he stated it in his post), and that article says that Hotlinking (including Hotlinking RVT files) is not available in Solo, meaning that if Hotlinking is not available in Solo, then you will not be able to bring RVT files into Archicad in Solo.
