VE Tech Tips - Revit to IESVE via GBXML

The VE allows users to import gbXML files to improve interoperability for a streamlined workflow.

This VE Tech Tip explores how to prepare geometry within a Revit model for gbXML export, before importing it to the VE. It covers:

• How to prepare a Revit model for geometry export to the VE, by considering the settings to use in the Revit model
• Setting room bounding
• Defining model spaces as rooms or spaces to determine what information will be transferred in addition to the building geometry
• Setting area and volume computations, including setting limits for levels, to ensure accurate geometry export for floors, voids and roofs
• Exporting via gbXML
• Going to the VE and using Create from BIM to import the gbXML file
• Checking the imported geometry
