How to automate .rfa to .rvt / .ifc conversion?

It’s easy by loading family into project and save as as a .rvt type / export it to ifc.

My problem: I have 100s of .rfa files to change/export it to .rvt or .ifc file type without changing model information. Doing manually is a huge waste of time. I don’t know if this can be automated using dynamo. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Subas_Bhatta,

Here is an automatic workflow :
_Load families in the project
_Insert instances
_Create 3D views for each family
_Export each view in IFC

Hello @Alban_de_Chasteigner . You are awesome :grinning:. I will try this evening. Thanks again.

@erfajo

For me the converting of .RVT files seems limited at around 100 models. At this point my Revit memory usage crashes (~4500MB). Is there anyway to deal with this?

(After the run of 100 models the memory still won’t drop.)

I tried this as you suggested. Getting null values and warnings. @Alban_de_Chasteigner
