Hi all, I'm an AMEP 09 user trying to collaborate with a structural engineer using Revit. They'd like us to send them 3D files, but haven't had any luck importing what we've sent them so far. I'm wondering if any Revit users out there have any tips for us AMEPers as far as exporting goes. Here's my post from the AMEP forum (sorry for the double post):
"Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone out there has had success sharing 3D files from AMEP (or ACA) with other clients using Revit. We're using the Project Navigator (PN) (Constructs, Views, Sheets, etc) and it's a 7 story building.
We've sent an IFC file of all 7 floors (as well as 1 .ifc per floor), but they say they can't line it up without gridlines, and also requested just the .dwgs. So we sent them all 7 .dwgs, but then said they didn't know the elevations of the floors. Then we tried sending a View where all the Constructs had been xref'd and then bound using Bind, but then they told us that there was some error on importing/exploding. They sent to this website (
http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/effective_collaboration_using_revit_structure_and_autocad_mep.pdf
) with steps to follow for exporting, which we followed, but they still couldn't import the files properly.
Has anyone had any success sharing AMEP/ACA files with Revit users? Or, does anyone know how to include structural gridlines in an IFC file?
Thanks for any input,
-Brad"
