Installing the Revit Plugin for MicroStation users

1. Installing the plugin for Revit Architecture, Structure or MEP 2008/2009/2010

Installation procedure:
Run the "i-model plugin for Revit. msi" installer

Click "Next"

Accept the End-User License Agreement and click "Next"

For the required Revit Plugin files accept or change the installation path and click "Next". This will then display the Revit installations detected by the installer.

Expand the "Select Revit installations" item so see which Revit products the installer has detected.

You can now chose for which ones you want the Revit Plugin to be configure. When you have made your choices click "Install" to begin the installation.

Click "Finish" to complete the installation.

When you complete the installation of the Revit Plugin, you will see a new menu available within the Revit product. Under the Add-ins menu item, Publish to i-model tool lets you save a Revit model to an i-model file from within the Revit application. This is a one step process which does not require MicroStation or MicroStation license on the machine on which the plug-in is installed for Revit Architecture!

The plugin works with 2008, 2009, and 2010 versions of the Revit products including Architecture, MEP, and Structure and includes support for the 64-bit versions

Installing the Revit Plugin for MicroStation users

1. Installing the plugin for Revit Architecture, Structure or MEP 2008/2009

Installation procedure:
Run the "BentleyRevitDGNplugin. msi" installer

Click "Next"

Accept the End-User License Agreement and click "Next"

For the required Revit Plugin files accept or change the installation path.

Expand the "Select Revit installations" item so see which rRevit products the instalelr has detected.

There are two delivery mechanisms for the Revit plugin:

Installation as part of the Bentley Architecture install
Separate installers

1. Installation as part of the Bentley Architecture install

The Athens version of Bentley Architecture installer contains all of the Bentley Revit-Plugin install.

When you install Bentley Architecture "Athens" on a machine that has Revit Architecture 2008 installed on it, the Bentley Architecture installer will detect the Revit installation in install all the necesarry files for the Bentley Revit-Plugin. In addition it will also install all necesarry files with Bentley Architecture in order to create the intelligent DGN or BIM model from the exported Revit files.

When Bentley Architecture Athens is installed on a box that does not have Revit Architecture 2008 installed it will only install the Revit-Plugin files needed to create the DGN/BIM model in Bentley Architecture but you will have to run a separate installer which installs the Revit-Plugin on the Revit box to export out your Revit model. See 2.1 Installing the plugin for Revit Architecture 2008 for this.

2. Separate installers

If you do not have Bentley Architecture "Athens" you can still install and use the Revit-Plugin, however the following limitation applies:

You will only be able to create a DGN model with Revit data from your original Revit model. In order to create a BIM model with Bentley Architecture walls etc. you will need Bentley Architecture.

2.1 Installing the plugin for Revit Architecture 2008

The plug-in comes with an installer which will install and configure all the necessary files to provide the "Export to DGN" functionality in Revit Architecture. No MicroStation or MicroStation license is required on the machine on which the plug-in is installed for Revit Architecture!
This version of the plug-in has been tested with Revit Architecture 2008 only.
Installation procedure:
Run the "BentleyRevitDGNplugin. msi" installer

Click "Next"

Accept the End-User License Agreement and click "Next"

Accept or change the installation path and click "Next"

Click "Install" to begin the installation

Click "Finish" to complete the installation.

At this point you will be able to export the dgn file of the model out of Revit Architecture.

3 Configuring Bentley Architecture

If you plan on converting the exported model to a BIM model that can be used with Bentley Architecture you will also need to configure the triforma.ucf file which is located by default in ...workspace\users\triforma.ucf
You can rename the extension of the original Triforma.ucf file and replace it with the sample one provided with the install set.

The following list explains the different configuration variable options:

Part family mode
Controls the mapping mode. The following values are available:

Use a mapping file
Use Revit assembly code for family and first BA part, if any
Use Revit family and type as BA family and part
Use IFC material info

Else : Use IFC and IFC class (e.g. IFC / IfcSlab)
Default configuration: TFREVITFAMILYMODE = 3

Family mapping file
Defines the family mapping file including its path. Default is the file "RvtFamilyMap.rfm" in the current dgn file path.
Default configuration: TFREVITFAMILYMAP = c:/[mapping file location]/RvtFamilyMap.rfm

Symbology mode
Controls the symbology mode. The following values are available:

1 Set symbology of revit element and create seperate level (e.g. "02 Entry Level_Wall"), keep Revit element
Set symbology and level of Revit element, delete Revit element anyway
Use part symbology

Else : Get symbology from IFC PropertySet
Default configuration: TFREVITSYMBOLOGYMODE = 1

Revit element deletion switch
Switch on (1) or off (0) the deletion of each Revit element that was transformed successfully
Default configuration: TFREVITDELSOURCEELEMENTS = 1
Logfile switch
Switches on (1) or off (0) the creation of a log file during the import process
Default configuration: TFREVITLOGFILE = 1

Scaling error work around
Corrects the scaling error of "Save as Bentley DGN" external tool. Sets the scale factor.
Default configuration: TFREVITSCALEERROR = 12
