How to Export SolidWorks models to Revit?
How It Works
SolidWorks to Revit Conversion Workflow
01
SolidWorks
SLDPRT & SLDASM file Formats
Export the SolidWorks Model to BXF file by using BXF Exporter for SolidWorks
02
BIMDeX
BXF file Format
BXF file would carry all the designed data information of the model.
03
Revit
RFA & RVT file Formats
import the BXF file in Revit using the BIMDeX Importer to obtain native Revit Families & projects.
How Is It Different?
SolidWorks to Revit Conversion Features
Expose SolidWorks platform into the BIM environment with easy transfer of SolidWorks model to Revit through the BIMDeX customized and safe data exchange platform.
Part/Assembly To Family/Project
Convert all your SolidWorks parts (sldprt) and assemblies (sldasm) to native Revit families (rfa) and projects (rvt).
Configuration Based Export
Export based on your desired configuration from SolidWorks to exchange only the necessary components.
Exclusion / Simplification Options
Option to exclude components based on Volume, Quantity, Views etc.,
Category Mapping
Categories can be applied to all components from both SolidWorks Exporter & Revit Importer. Rules can be created to easily assign categories.
Maintain Instances
BIMDeX Instantiates SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies inside Revit for ease of editability and facilitates better BOQ generation
Model Hierarchy
Hierarchy of the SolidWorks model will be maintained in Revit and users have an option to collapse/flatten the hierarchy based on the requirement. SolidWorks Assemblies and Sub-Assemblies will be converted as Nested families in Revit.
Metadata Information
All the metadata information from SolidWorks can be transferred to Revit and users have the option to make it as Shared parameters in Revit.
Import based on Coordinates
Users can both export and import the models based on the desired Coordinate system.
Option to choose Revit Templates
Users can import the model in any desired Custom Generic Revit templates based on the requirement.
