IFC Import to Revit MEP

Revit MEP provides Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) import based on the latest International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) IFC 2x3 data exchange standard. (If you import a file that uses an earlier standard [IFC 2x or 2x2], Revit MEP supports the format and imports it properly.)

When you import an IFC file, Revit MEP creates a new file based on the default template.

You can load your own IFC class mapping files and override the categories and subcategories for imported IFC objects.

Make sure you import the geometric data needed for the Revit MEP capability that you plan to use.

To import an IFC file:

1. Click File menu => Import/Link => IFC.
2. In the Import dialog, navigate to the IFC file to import.
3. Select the IFC file, and click Open.
