Imodel plugin for Revit 2021

Are there any updates to this thread from Bentley representatives? We need this plugin (or something similar) to work with Revit 2021, 2022 and new versions too. 

Hello Will,

I think it's quite clear that Bentley will not develop a new version of the plugin for Revit 2021 or any newer versions.

As explained above there is a method to convert RVT models (from any Revit version) to iModel through the iModel Hub. From there you can reference that model into OBD or export an IFC from the iModel hub, then reference or import that IFC into OBD.

The big benefit - in my opinion - is that this method not only works for Revit models but can also be used for a variety of other file formats. Including NWD (Navisworks), ...

If you have to do regular updates of the Revit model, this can be automated. As long as the new version of the RVT file is uploaded either in PW365 of in the iTwin Share folder, the generation of the iModel can be done automatically for example every week.

Hello Johan,

I tried as per your suggestion. But we found many discrepancies in i-model.

Could you please suggest something more.   

Hello Maitra,

I have no other suggestions, unfortunately.

I must say so far I found the import of RVT files in iModel quite accurate (better then alternative services). When you have specific issues it's best to create a support ticket (CS) to the development team so that they can take a deeper look.

Hi all,

Have you tried using the iTwin Snapshot - iTwin.js (itwinjs.org) tool to convert your RVT files to .BIM files that can be directly referenced into all Microstation PowerPlatform products like OBD?

Hi Alifur,

You previously mentioned something called RevitBridge which is based on ODA BIMrv.

What is the status of this?

Regards

Hey Dominic, 

I am hearing this Revit Bridge thing for the first time. Not sure who is creating them.
