Hello! I'm facing a situation, I was wondering if there's any other solution to open Revit files from an older version than using IFC's until now I've been exporting from 2021 to IFC and then I open it on 2020 but I cannot see the topography, annotations, and others, only architecture. Is there another solution to view the elements inside the 2021 file?
Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous
Thank you for the question. There really is not a good workflow for what you are trying to do. You can work the way you have been but there will be data lost. It is recommended that all people on a project be on the same version, due to Revit not being backwards compatible.

Why would you not allow backwards combability Samantha? This seems to be a decision by Autodesk to better control their products "financial strength" at the cost of its customers.
