Has anyone come across a tool to convert Tekla elements into native Revit?

There's a video on the website explaining the process, though I do notice it does not include any demonstration of the Revit client side of things. Have you tried this process, and what does it output for you?

There was an add in Tekla to convert to a Revit.rvt file but it works only for early versions of Revit as per the previous post.

However I would recommend using the Tekla to Revit Integrator as this allows more functionality and mapping of sections for newer versions of Revit

There is also a Beta Data Exchange addin which works between lots of platforms which Autodesk and Tekla are trailing but not 100% on the progress of this and it is only a Beta version at this time.

Thanks for your response, much appreciated. The issue is that we need a structural contractor to convert their Tekla models into Revit format for handover. However, the response we've received from the contractor is that this isn't possible. I've forwarded your information on, thanks again.
