Bringing Revit into Itwin

[pratikshanghosh]

Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Issue.

We are trying to bring Revit models into Itwin and i would like to reference a revit composite file and not have to attach all the revit models individually. I do this with DGN model and its fine but when referencing a revit composite it doesn't seem to recognise any references.

Ive googled it and it says that if the refd models were overlays itwin wouldnt recognise them but if the were direct references it would. I have tried both and it doesnt seem to make any difference.

So at present im having to add every revit model individually not ideal

Have you a suggestion or best practice when working with multi revit models

@jffmarker perhaps can help

I believe the Revit Connector does not, by-default, support Revit "linked" files (what DGN calls "references"). Therefore, I believe you must add each individual RVT file to the Connection definition.

We have some work-in-progress support for Revit linked files that we can opt specific users into with caveats (hence why it's not default yet). Do you have a specific user we could consider working with?

We do have initial support for linked Revit models as Jeff mentioned. I've tried to upload a PDF in this reply outlying how you can get this working for you. This is 2 parts, first you need to have an iModel created and let us know the URL and we can set a flag so that we know you want this iModel to be used to Revit links. The 2nd part is to follow the procedure outlined in the pdf to setup the master files as indicated. Please give it a read and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
