The Autodesk Revit Reader allows FME to read Revit Project files (.rvt).
Version Support
- The reader supports Revit versions 2015 - 2020.
Note: Reading a Revit file authored in a Revit version older than 2020 may cause a performance drop on initial read. For the best performance, consider upgrading your file to the latest Revit version.
Overview
The Revit reader produces FME features from Revit elements with feature types based on their disciplines. The Revit disciplines include:
- Architecture
- Structural
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Piping
Reader Overview
The value for the Reader Dataset is the path to the .rvt source data file. If the data file does not exist, or if the file is unrecognized by the reader, then the translation will fail.
