The import from RFEM to Revit is started by clicking the button
Import of model started in the Revit Ribbon (see image
Add-in in Revit Ribbon
).
A dialog box appears where you can enter the specifications important for the data import to RFEM.
General Settings
In the 'General Settings' tab, you define basic specifications for the data import.
Z-Direction
Revit automatically aligns the global Z-axis "down". There is no selection option here.
Revit
Only the Update existing structure option is currently available for the import. Thus, the open Revit project is synchronized with the changes you have made in the RFEM model. Revit families are already loaded in the project and automatically used, provided that the conversion is correct. You can also use this option to load an RFEM model into an empty project.
Model Type
You can create a model in Revit using physical or analytical elements. If you import an RFEM model as an analytical model, all elements with their material and cross-section properties are created in an analytical model.
If you import an RFEM model as a physical model, all elements with their material and cross-section properties are created in a physical model in Revit.
If you import an RFEM model as an analytical and physical model, Revit creates a physical model with an associated analytical model.
Objects to Transfer
Currently, the import option Only members and surfaces is only available. It provides the option to restrict the import to the main objects (beams, columns, slabs) – without hinges or support definitions.
Options
Wenn Sie das Kontrollfeld Benutzerdefinierte Namen für Dlubalparameter verwenden anhaken, werden die als Dlubalparameter hinterlegten Informationen beim Datenimport berücksichtigt.
Use the Do not create new planes option to prevent new planes from being created for the position definition of objects in Revit during the import.
Die Option Nur Materialien, Dicken und Querschnitte aktualisieren beschränkt die Aktualisierung auf den Abgleich der Materialien, Querschnittsnamen und Flächendicken. Thus, neither the coordinates are adjusted nor are any objects deleted or added.
Structural Settings
The functions of the Structural Settings tab are still in preparation.
