Convert IFC format into revit model

Revit
1

Hi all

I have a ifc file which exported from 12d, and we changed the ifc entities of column to an ifc which we can see this column in revit as column not generic model but still this is a link in the revit and I need to select the tab bottom to see and check the parameters of columns, the question is how can I convert this ifc into revit format with dynamo? I couldn’t find a topic like this in forum!

Is there any advice to convert this ifc to a native revit ?

Generally, if I don’t change the ifc entities in 12d, it will bring that columns as generic model that’s why ifc class has changed. now I can see this exported file come to revit with the right name (Column).

Hi,
You need to recreate a native Revit element with API Revit.

  • get the geometry information from the IFC properties, or analyse the solid geometry to determine the height, diameter, level and location.
  • get or create the correct type of column with these dimensions (diameter in this case).
  • create one or more instances of this type at the IFC column locations (and level) and set the height(s).
