REVIT mep 2013 vs 2012

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

How do I retrieve a file created in version 2013 (trial version) in 2012 ? Is it possible, in version 2013, to save a file in an earlier version?

Thank you very much

You cannot save any Revit file as an earlier version. Could you expand on your situation a bit, maybe there's another solution. Was this an existing Revit 2012 file that was opened in 2013 or was it created in Revit 2013? If converted, was this a Project file (.rvt) or a Family file (.rfa)?

Thank you very much.

It's a little project (.RVT file) created in MEP 2013. This is a test I'm doing to see if the problems (calculation of pressure) have been corrected in MEP 2013. I would like to open the file in RVT 2012 whether I would have the same results.

Have a nice day.

Unfortunately, the method I've heard of to be able to open a Revit project in an earlier version (export/import as IFC file) would not retain your calculations. You will have to recreate it in RMEP 2012 as far as I know.
