Problem:
How to import AutoDESK REVITmep into AutoPIPE?
Answer:
According to the following AutoDESK web page here, REVITmep can import eh following formats:
a. DWG (drawing) format is supported by AutoCAD® and other CAD applications.
b. DXF (data transfer) is an open format that is supported by many CAD applications. A DXF file is a text file that describes a 2D drawing. The text is not encoded or compressed, so DXF files are generally large. If you use DXF for 3D drawings, you may need to perform some cleanup to make the drawing display correctly.
c. SAT is the format for ACIS, a solid modeling technology that is supported by many CAD applications.
d. DGN is the file format supported by MicroStation of Bentley Systems, Inc.
Regardless if converting to Bentley Microstation DGN or AutoDESK DWG, the next steps of converting the model from this point into AutoPIPE model is the same effort; export coordinates from Microstation/AutoDESK, Import into AutoPIPE, and perform general post-processing tasks.
- If using Bentley Microstation DGN- open file in Microstation, export coordinates from Microstation into a TXT file, import TXT into AutoPIPE using the following command: File> Insert Model> Microstation Coordinates (*.txt).
If using AutoDESK DWG - open file in AutoCADD, export coordinates from AutoCADD into a XLS file, import XLS into AutoPIPE using the following command: File> Insert Model> Coordinates (*.xls). See the following WIKI here for more details
