Can Tekla Structures import Autodesk Revit .rvt files?
Environment
Not environment-specific
Question:
How do I import a Revit model into Tekla Structures? The model file that someone sent me is in .rvt format.
Answer:
The most recommended format for importing from Revit is IFC: Tekla Structures & Revit BIM workflows
Starting from Tekla Structures 2023, rvt files can be imported using the Autodesk Data Exchange Connector for Tekla extension available from Autodesk. For more information, see Create and Update Exchanges.
We no longer offer a dedicated extension for the .rvt import type in Tekla Warehouse.
For Tekla Structures version 2018i or earlier you cannot import .rvt files.
