Inventor Pro 2011 --> Revit 2011 (AEC Exchange)

[edu.rocha.tavares]

Hello!

I am trying to export a model from Inventor 2011 to Revit 2011.

I exported it to a *.adsk extendion then once again to *.rfd extension.

In Revit 2011 I opened the *.adsk file and imported the *.rfd.

Everything went well. A *.rfa was generated but when I try to open it my model won't appear. Instead of that a bunch of circles appear.

I have tried this procedure with different models and the circles keep appearing.

If I didn't make myself clear please ask for more details.

Best regards,

Eduardo

The ADSK should have geometry, the .rfd will not.  See these links for more information.  The last link is a class I did at AU2010 this year (requires free login and the video is about 45 minutes long).
