Converting a rvt file without a Revit license

Anonymous

I need help from the experts here.

 

My situation is that I work for a subcontractor that uses 3D modelling in our designs. We receive the .rvt file from the Architects of the project but we need the 3D geometry in a different file format in order to use the file. We dont have a need to purchase a license of Revit because the only function we need it for currently is to open and export the file to a readable format for our 3D software. This process is time consuming and frustrating.

 

I have looked at trying to find a plugin for our software to import the .rvt files directly but there isnt such a plugin.

I have looked at Autodesk Viewers but they dont offer export options.

I have looked at Fusion 360 but to my knowledge, it doesnt support importing .rvt files but does export its own files to .dwg.

 

Can an Autodesk expert please help me out because I have exhausted my limits of searching for solutions only to come up short when Ive downloaded another "Trial versions" of whatever solution i thought would work next.

 

Again, the only information i need from the .rvt file is the solid geometry, the BIM data is useless to us.

Yeah, I would; but I installed the free trial version and I can't open it.

Why not? If the trial doesn't work, buying the software is not going to change that reality either.

Do you just need to restart your PC and try again?
Ask an IT person or a friend you know that understands software installation to help if needed.

Going to reboot later after work & see if that's the issue. Thanks!

There is no error message. When I try to open it, it says there is no license detected and it sends me back to the trial download page. When I click on that, I get a message that says Revit LT has already been installed. Do I need to reboot my computer for it to take effect? Thanks!
