Inventor Revit Interoperability - including Type Parameters?

pcrawley — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 03:12:38 GMT

Does anyone know if it's possible to get 'Type Parameters' into Inventor from a linked/imported Revit file? (If not through the UI, then maybe through the API? I've looked, but don't really know what I'm looking at in the Revit section of the API Help.)

I can get as far as the family Type - in this case "Type 2 600 x 600mm" in Inventor - but any deeper just gives the ID of the element.

In Revit, I can see all these Type Parameters - some of which would be valuable if they were available in Inventor.

Hi Peter, I'm sorry but this is not possible at the moment.

I'm not sure if you are on the beta feedback community, but if not this is something we are always wanting to improve.

With the latest release of Inventor 2025, you can now import IFC files with Properties. This doesn't solve the exact issue above but could help other people seeing this post. If you use Revit to export the RVT to IFC, you can now view the Revit properties inside Inventor, just be sure to include the Revit properties when you export the IFC file otherwise you'll only see IFC properties.
