Title: Converting rvt file to iam without Revit
Post by: montyLalor on October 17, 2015, 11:53:18 AM

I use Product Design Suite Ultimate pretty much without the hope of any chance of a crossgrade to Building Design Suite Ultimate ("I'm not spending any more on CAD software at the moment")

If I have a largeish rvt file (200-300MB) is there a better way to be able to open it in Inventor than the following workflow?

• convert the rvt file in Navisworks Manage to an fbx
• import the fbx file into an AutoCAD dwg
• use the command convtosolid to turn meshes into solids
• export to sat file
• import sat file into Inventor

Each process is lengthy enough to require me start it running just before I leave work each day so that it hopefully succeeds overnight!
