RVT to IFC Converter

About This Tool

The RVT to IFC Converter translates Revit RVT models into the IFC standard to enable cross-discipline BIM collaboration. It ingests RVT files, applies a rule-based mapping to convert Revit categories into IFC entities, and translates properties into IFC property sets. The tool supports multiple IFC schemas (such as IFC2x3 and IFC4) and preserves core metadata to maintain traceability. It aligns units and project coordinates to ensure spatial consistency when integrating with downstream tools. The converter is designed for BIM coordinators, facility managers, and consultants who require interoperable data for federated models and milestone reviews. Its unique value lies in configurable mapping profiles, batch processing, and built-in validation that flags non-conforming elements, missing properties, or schema violations. Typical use cases include federated projects where subcontractors submit IFC files, design reviews requiring cross-checks between Revit models and IFC exports, and facility management data handoffs that rely on stable IFC payloads. Core features include: RVT ingestion, automatic category-to-IFC mapping, property set translation, unit conversion, coordinate alignment, schema-aware export, and validation reporting. Users can run single-file or batch conversions, then import IFC outputs into analysis, clash detection, or energy tools. The tool emphasizes data integrity, minimizing manual remapping and rework while supporting regional PSET needs via mapping profiles. Use cases span architectural coordination, structural and MEP analysis, and facility lifecycle management, making interoperability the central value driver.
