Autodesk Revit Reader (Technology Preview)

Technology Preview

Note: This format is still under active development, so please expect changes to the current behavior. We do not recommend using this format in production environments.

The Autodesk Revit Reader allows FME to read Revit Project files (.rvt).

Version Support

  • The reader supports Revit versions 2015 - 2019.

Note: Reading a Revit file authored in a Revit version older than 2019 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.
