Convert RVT to FBX

What is RVT file?

RVT (Revit Project File) is a proprietary file format used for storing files created with Autodesk Revit, a building information modeling (BIM) software used by architects, engineers and other building professionals. The RVT file is a hierarchically structured document that contains both graphical and non-graphical data. The file structure includes levels for objects, elements, families and types. In addition, the RVT file stores advanced settings like project data and material settings. [ ⏩ ] RVT file extension

What is FBX file?

The FBX file extension stands for Autodesk FBX Interchange File - a data format developed by Autodesk for wide exchange of 3D or 2D data between different programs, computers and operating systems. It used to store animation tracks, 3D objects, lights, camera settings and other information. FBX files typically contain meshes, surface maps (textures), 3D models and other scene-related elements.

How to convert the file from RVT to FBX?

To successfully convert the RVT file to FBX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.RVT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FBX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FBX).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. RVT to FBX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting RVT files to FBX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FBX, while before this step we had the RVT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FBX file, or not.
