RVT to IFC converter

About This Tool

The RVT to IFC converter enables cross-software BIM data exchange by translating Rev ite models into IFC format. It preserves structural, architectural, and MEP elements along with key metadata, while aligning output with IFC4 or IFC2x3 schemas. Conceptually, the tool maps Revit elements to IFC classes, normalizes units, and maintains spatial hierarchies to support downstream analysis and coordination. It is designed for architects, engineers, BIM managers, and facility teams who must share models with collaborators using different BIM platforms. Unique value lies in robust parameter mapping, sector-specific mappings for walls, ducts, spaces, and materials, and the ability to generate an accompanying log and mapping report that documents decisions and detected gaps. Core features include: (1) input RVT with target IFC version selection, (2) default or custom parameter mapping, (3) material, space, and containment preservation, (4) unit normalization and coordinate system alignment, and (5) outputs consisting of exported IFC file, a conversion log, and a mapping report. Use cases span design coordination, structural analysis, energy modeling interoperability, and facilities management data handoff. The tool is especially beneficial where multiple teams collaborate across Revit, BIM, and IFC-native environments, reducing data loss and rework during format transitions.
