How to Open an IFC File in Revit

Jul 25, 2024

Are you looking to incorporate external building information models (BIM) into your design workflow in Revit? Opening an IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file in Revit allows you to do just that! Follow these simple steps to import an IFC file and enhance the interoperability of your project:

Step 1: Launch Revit

Begin by opening the Revit software on your computer. If you don't have Revit installed, make sure to download and install it before proceeding.

Step 2: Navigate to 'File' Menu

Once Revit is open, navigate to the 'File' menu at the top-left corner of the interface. Click on 'File' to reveal a drop-down menu.

Step 3: Select 'Open'

From the 'File' menu, select the 'Open' option. This will prompt a dialog box to appear, allowing you to browse and select the IFC file you want to import.

Step 4: Choose IFC File

In the dialog box, navigate to the location where the IFC file is saved on your computer. Select the IFC file by clicking on it once, then click the 'Open' button to proceed.

Step 5: Specify Import Settings

After selecting the IFC file, Revit will display the 'IFC Link Options' dialog box, where you can specify various import settings such as the positioning and orientation of the model. Adjust these settings according to your project requirements.

Step 6: Complete the Import Process

Once you have specified the import settings, click the 'Open' button to initiate the import process. Revit will then proceed to import the IFC file and integrate it into your project. Depending on the size and complexity of the IFC file, this process may take some time.

Step 7: Review and Edit

After the import process is completed, review the imported IFC model within your Revit project. You can now edit and work with the imported elements just like any other native Revit elements.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly open an IFC file in Revit and leverage the power of interoperability in your BIM projects. Whether you're collaborating with external design teams or integrating infrastructure models, importing IFC files into Revit expands the possibilities for your architectural and engineering projects.
