IMPORT BENTLEY MODEL IN REVIT

[Anonymous]

Hello Revit Gurus!!!

I need to import a 3DModel built in Bentley and make use of it within Revit, what I mean by that be able to select objects by categories, etc...

I am aware that there is a plug-in to export the Revit i-model to Bentley but is there anything similar to do the same from Bentley to Revit.

I am trying to use IFCs but I am not sure if these are going to work nicely within Revit.

Any thoughts???

Many thanks!!!

try to export in Micristation as  IFC

Yes I did

The main problem apparently is the mapping settings on Bentley.

Let me explain my self I need the same categories in bentley in Revit, I mean walls in Bentley walls in Revit, windows in bentley windows in revit, etc...
At the moment the model that we have has 4500 elems all of the Generic model model in place,and some of the objects are missing,.. And there are not types all of them are instances!!!
Yes Madness!
I do not know if bentley is capable of doing that exercise, but it should, otherwise IFC files are useless.
Manythanks for your efforts!!!

"then with rhino inside to revit," is that import to revit? And thanks for your timely reply. You don't need to reply to this thread. I believe I am aware of what you meant. Thanks Again
