import IFC model from CADmep

[nikhil.patel2]

Hello,

I was able to successfully export an IFC from Fabrication CADmep set in imperial units. When I go to insert the model in Revit 2021, the model seems to be out of scale. I suspect it's in metric and needs to be scaled up 25.4 times as typical of IFC. Just not sure how to do in Revit. Any advise on bringing IFC into imperial units, or converting after the fact would be greatly appreciated.

You Opened IFC or Linked IFC?  

Where is it located in relationship to Revit's Internal Origin?

I inserted the IFC file, which was fine. I'm also able to open the resulting .rvt file.

The Revit model and CAD file have the same origin. If I were to link the CAD file or the nwc output, it land's correctly.

How did you "INSERT" the IFC into Revit?   

[nikhil.patel2]

Insert tab - Link IFC

The file is a .IFC

Thank you for all the help! I have another machine that was able to preserve the units in imperial. Hence I'm concluding the issue is with software installation (Fab MEP or AutoCAD, tempate).
