Issue Description
When importing Revit files into ArchiCAD, it's common to encounter issues where multiple stories are created unnecessarily. This happens because Revit levels and ArchiCAD stories are not always perfectly aligned, and Revit may have levels that aren't meant to represent actual stories.
Solution
In Revit, the concept of "Stories" refers to levels or floors within a building. When translating Revit Stories to ArchiCAD, the key is mapping Revit's levels (stories) correctly within ArchiCAD's story system. Here's how to handle the translation:
-
Identify Revit Levels (Stories):
- In Revit, levels represent floors or building stories. Identify the relevant levels that need to be transferred into ArchiCAD. Remove the tick for all other levels that are not true stories.
-
Open the IFC File in ArchiCAD:
- Import the IFC file into ArchiCAD. ArchiCAD will automatically recognize the stories defined in the IFC and map them to its own story system.
