Issue description
Import RFA file: Revit Families mostly manufacture content to Archicad as Objects, Doors and Windows.
The generated Archicad library items have the same precise geometry and all parameters (in non-editable
mode) as those stored in RFA format.
Solution
Use this command to import a Revit Family (RFA) object and generate a GDL Object, Door or Window that has the same precise geometry and all parameters.
The resulting object will lose its editable parametric capabilities.
1. File > Libraries and Objects > Import RFA as GDL Object.
2. Browse for an RFA file to import, then click Open.
3. In the appearing Import RFA as GDL Object dialog, customize the import options:
Import as Library Part Type: Based on the Revit Family Category and Host Object Category, the
Library Part type will automatically select the best match: Object, Door or Window. You may override
the type here.
Segmentation of Curved Geometry: Use the slider to set the level of geometric detail (polygon
segmentation) at one of three levels. The more polygons, the larger the resulting object. It is
recommended to keep this setting in the middle. If the object is too large, use Fewer Polygons. If the
result is too segmented and rough, then use More Polygons.
TIP: Check the Polygon count
4. Click Import.
The imported family object is converted to a GDL Object, Door or Window. The generated GDL Object, Door or Window is placed into the project’s Embedded Library. Use the Object, Door or Window tool to place into the project.
