NEWS: AECOsim Building Designer to read native Revit RVT files

Bentley currently testing the ODA’s Teigha BIM Kernel

Bentley Systems is currently testing Revit (RVT) file read capabilities inside Bentley AECOsim Building Designer.

The enabling technology, the Teigha BIM Kernel, is currently being developed by the Open Design Alliance (ODA).

Bentley told AEC Magazine that the RVT read capability is not yet scheduled for an AECOsim Building Designer release, adding that the ODA does not currently offer an RVT write capability. AECOsim Building Designer can currently read RFA family files.
