rvt-to-ifc

# RVT to IFC Conversion > **Note:** RVT is the file format. IFC is an open standard by buildingSMART International. ## Business Case ### Problem Statement IFC is the open BIM standard for interoperability, but: - Native Revit IFC export requires Autodesk license - Export settings significantly affect data quality - Batch processing is manual and time-consuming ### Solution RVT2IFCconverter.exe converts Revit files to IFC offline, without licenses, with full control over export settings. ### Business Value - **No license required** - Works without Autodesk software - **Multiple IFC versions** - IFC2x3, IFC4, IFC4.3 support - **Batch processing** - Convert thousands of files - **Consistent quality** - Standardized export settings ## Technical Implementation ### CLI Syntax ```bash RVT2IFCconverter.exe <input.rvt> [<output.ifc>] [preset=<name>] [config="..."] ``` ### IFC Versions | Version | Use Case | |---------|----------| | IFC2x3 | Legacy compatibility, most software | | IFC4 | Enhanced properties, modern BIM | | IFC4.3 | Infrastructure, latest standard | ### Export Presets | Preset | Description | |--------|-------------| | `standard` | Default balanced export | | `extended` | Maximum detail and properties | | `custom` | User-defined configuration | ### Examples ```bash # Standard IFC export RVT2IFCconverter.exe "C:\Projects\Building.rvt" # IFC4 with extended settings RVT2IFCconverter.exe "C:\Projects\Building.rvt" preset=extended # Custom output path RVT2IFCcon...
