Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] convert another format to idf



Properly created Revit files with analytical spaces set up can be exported via gbxml or ifc file type and brought into several platforms, including the new OpenStudio plugin, which support gbxml import and generate .idf for EnergyPlus.

Also, if you have an AutoDesk 360 account, you can upload to Green Building Studio which can then generate an .idf or several other useful file types for building analysis.

hope it helps.

There are most likely several plugins or options for Revit. I've not had the time to check but know that it can export gbxml. If there is no IDF export from Revit then my workflow would be Revit export gbxml, import gbxml into DesignBuilder, then export idf. I'm not sure, but you could even try the trial version of DesignBuilder for this. Apparently, there is even a DesignBuilder plugin for Revit to help in getting a clean gbxml export.

Jim, I think an rvt file is a "Revit" file.

I don't know what an "*.rvt" file might be.Ã?
If you mean "*.rvi", that serves a completely different purpose than *.idf, so conversion is not feasible.

All E+ output and input files are text, so any modification or conversion can be accomplished by a text editor or script.
