importing .rfa file to .rvt

[Anonymous]

Is that possible importing .rfa file to .rvt? => By creating a Family - Revit Lt saving files as  .rfa. Did I miss some options to save (Family, Template) as .rvt?

@Anonymous hello, you can open the file .rfa and load it to .rvt file. Or open the .rvt file go to insert and load family and load your .rfa file. thanks

RFA = Family.

FVT = Revit Project

RFA's get loaded into RVT Projects as components (furniture, equipment, casework, plumbing fixtures, etc)...once loaded they stay as part as the project.

You can pre-load rfa's into a template.

Does that make sense?

I don't think revit supported that idea.

for some reason my rfa file opens fine (it says i need to upgrade it to the current version so i do and then i save it) but when i try to link it into a rvt file it doesn't show me the file

@shivanigautam_dancer13  the file (.RFA) should not be linked in the (RVT) file, the files are only loaded in RVT files by using Load Family and you can put the families directly to your project. When you loaded the families the project (not used) you can find the family by going to the right class (Window-Door-Panel-etc.) or you can find them from the family list which is placed Project Browser window.

I hope the answer can be helped for the case.
