How do I convert an .rfa to the formats for BIMobject (.ifc .3ds .skp .gsm) etc?

I drew up my object in Fusion 360, and imported it into Revit to make a new family. I referenced everything, and added the material specs. Everything looks good. Then I went to open up the file on the autodesk viewer and it doesn't open .rva files. I just want to check that the revit model is now suitable to post onto BIMobject.com, but I can't open it anywhere. I saved it as a .dwg, and imported it to autoCAD, but then i can't export it in any meaningful way. I guess what I'm asking is how do I convert my .rfa family to one of the various different BIM formats for BIMobject? (.ifc .3ds .skp .gsm) etc. Obviously I've got .rfa and .dwg sorted already. I'm using the trial of Revit. Not sure if that makes any difference. I attached the .rfa file. Any help clarifying would be hugely appreciated.

IFC:

load the family to Revit project then from application menu>>Export>>IFC

 

3ds:

Export to FBX then open the FBX at 3ds max then export to 3ds.

 

Skp:

import the IFC or 3ds to sketchup then save skp

 

gsm:

also IFC to archicad

You will need to use BIMscript app in RHINO.

 There is an easy way to get 150 formats out of your RFA family.

 

CADENAS have a possiblitity to import a RFA family and after that they can export 150 different formats.

See a small list of formats.

 

If you want to know more contact j.heimbach@cadenas.de or marketing@cadenas.de
