Revit is a Building Information Modeling software.

This process will be similar for most BIM software, such as ArchiCAD or Tekla.

Access the export menu via the main menu (☰) → Export

We recommend DXF (CAD) format for Revit. Note that DXF (CAD) format is 2D only.

Once you import DXF to Revit, you can convert to masses.

Or, you can use Speckle to connect to almost any AEC tool!

Revit (and other BIM formats) are too complex for GeoJSON. For data/analytical work, use DXF. For visuals only, use GLTF.

Export as 2D dxf, then Upload Vector Files as Layers using tips in How to import DXF files into Giraffe

Export as GLTF, then Upload 3D models
gltf | Plugin, Add-on, Extension for Revit | Autodesk App Store
Giraffe models are extremely lightweight. Since the platform is browser based, most complex or detailed geometry is too heavy to perform well.
Therefore, we accept uploads of GLTF or GLB files to represent 3D models. glTF is a standard file format for three-dimensional scenes and models that is used often in browsers due to its efficiency. The format combines 3D data and color mapping into one compact file. glTF minimizes the size of 3D assets, and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use them.
