SolidWorks to Revit

[Anonymous]

Hi, I know this may have been covered before.

But here's my question: is Revit just a program that imports CAD models to make a layout?

Because some of the items (saved as .sat in version 7.0), take up to 20minutes to be imported into Revit, is there any way to speed up the process? I am suppose to give my clients a set of CAD models for them to load up into Revit to make a walkthrough, however when I try to import the files using Revit on my own machine, it takes up to 20 minutes to load up a complicated model.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to ask this question in the Revit Architecture Discussion Group, rather than the AutoCAD Architecture Discussion Group.

Revit is definitely not just a program that imports CAD to make a layout or a walkthrough.
