The currently situation is far from reliable in Revit particularly where Revit's rules do not allow some of the modelling techniques in Vectorworks and as a consequence we often find walls unjoin, and spaces connect to the wrong walls after conversion. We always had a dozen or so wall types to represent our survey, usually a singular detached house - some walls are 150mm, some are 155mm, others 120mm and so on.it's tedious but it works. It works but severely limits the functionality of Microstation. I am newish to Vectorworks but I have used Revit at a previous practice. The only way I could ever see round-tripping work effectively is if each software vendor agreed to an 'ifc work mode' to work natively in an IFC file format, similar to how Bentley and Autodesk developed a 'DWG work mode' for Bentley in order for Microstation to work 'natively' wth DWG.
It's for 3D coordination and data-extraction.
The idea of IFC is not for round-tripping models. I tend to subscribe to that thinking, although I know others don't. Unlike ArchiCAD and Revit that attempt to convert IFC objects to native objects, Vectorworks doesn't. The issuer should be capable of issuing IFC IF they understand BIM.Īs states, IFC will only import as 'ifc entities' which will be 3d solids, rather than 'parametric' objects.
#Bim vectorworks how to#
any idea on how to resolve this?įrom Revit? We have standard settings for exporting IFC from Revit that have taken a while to perfect, and at quite a cost. They have also sent me an IFC and all BIM setting are lost. You recommend what is the best exporting IFC for Vectorworks?
