REVIT 2020: export to previous version possible?

[Anonymous]

Does REVIT 2020 allow to export to a previous revit version (2019 or previous)?

... hi @Anonymous 

... no

... unfortunatelly no

... you can not save REVIT backwards

... no version allows you to save nothing to a previous version

.... if you need to open a project or family in a previous version

... the only way is if you have a backup of the project

... or a REVIT backup in the same folder as the open project in an earlier version

Your only option to get a 2020 model into 2019 is export to IFC.

Open the IFC in 2019 and save.

Hi @Anonymous 

I see that you are a new visitor. Welcome to the Revit Architecture forum 🙂

Please see article: Backward compatibility of Revit with earlier releases of the software

Unfortunately,  When opening a Revit model or family that was saved in a prior version (Revit 2019), the file is automatically upgraded to the version of Revit you are working in. (If you are working in Revit 2020)

Let me know if this helps and if you have additional questions!
