FME can read and write Revit Project files (.rvt).
The Revit reader produces FME features from Revit elements with feature types based on their disciplines. The Revit disciplines include:
- Architecture
- Structural
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Piping
Supported Versions
- The reader supports Revit versions 2015 – 2023.

Reader Overview
The value for the Reader Dataset is the path to the .rvt source data file. If the data file does not exist, or if the file is unrecognized by the reader, then the translation will fail.
The geometry the Revit Reader outputs can be controlled with the Read Geometry As parameter. Revit geometry is read as a surface with fme_type = fme_surface in Surfaces mode, and read as 2D lines in Floor Plan and Area Plan modes. Geometry can also be disabled when reading in Non-Spatial mode.
Writer Overview
The writer will accept features with fme_type = fme_surface and write them to a provided template file as Revit Generic Models.
