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.
All Revit geometry is read as a surface with fme_type = fme_surface.
Writer Overview
The writer will accept features with fme_type = fme_surface and write them to a provided template file as Revit Generic Models.
