URGENT: Importing AutoCAD Architectural/FactoryCAD models into Revit 2017

Our engineering group works with AutoCAD Architectural 2016 with FactoryCAD add-on. Now we are required to import these files into Revit 2017.

Question: How can we accomplish this import process? 

 

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Link them into Revit.

Insert>>Link CAD>>CAD Formats

Make sure that Positioning is set to Auto-Center to Center

You cannot link AutoCad Architecture (or any vertical varuants of AutoCAD) directly in Revit. Either export the file to vanilla DWG or IFC from the authoring program and link the file in Revit.

Thank you so much for your valuable information. Engineering left out to inform important requirement.

The model must remain Revit native (with some intelligence if possible). Explode command is not useful because model becomes flat or disappears.

Additionally, management will explore the possibility of purchasing a translation tool if existing. Do you know of any?

Export the model to IFC, open the IFC in Revit, and save it to a RVT.

Thank you so much for your valuable information.

Revit 2017

Engineer used LINK instead of OPEN (IFC format was not offered in the open format menu).

Then, BIND Link followed by and Remove link, and SAVE as RVT format.

They will send the file to customer for evaluation and acceptance.

PS. Apparently, engineering had exported IFC files, but never import/open/link into Revit. They learned something new.

 

Thanks Again.
