Your model is way too complex for a rfa model.  You need to simplify the model much more based on your screen image.  However the Inventor workflow to .rfa is flaky and doesn't really work successfully.  I would recommend that you BIM Exchange to Autodesk Exchange and then do the work in Revit if you can.

Hi I am not too familiar with the BIM Exchange to Autodesk Exchange. How do I do that?

Its the same workflow just change the file extension type.

Update:  Change the file type in the dialog before creation (exporting).    Then that file can be imported into Revit and finished.

Also by mistake I accepted your latest reply as the solution but unmarked it as the solution..

Hi! I think you might have Express mode activated. Go to Assembly ribbon panel -> Load Full. You will need to skip the resolving files or find the missing files. After that, you should be able to export to BIM Content.

Many thanks!
