Comment on Bentley Revit Plugin for MicroStation and Bentley Architecture by Apsis0215

The plugin “kind-of” works- but Army Corps won’t accept it… effectively making it pretty much useless. IFC conversions are even worse.

Everyone should have a reasonable IFC 3.0 format that works and save to that – but the corporations are too busy fighting each other to come to a standard to help society progress. Grrr.

Rooms! As in add room objects adjusted to correct level offset/vertical boundary and checked for “leaks”.

Surprising how many Revit “BIM” I see without room objects or labels, just dumb text.

Great start! One other item would be to show valves Yes/No? Or only when needed for space requirements and clash detection.

Other items, Fire/Smoke dampers, louvers, balancing dampers.

Thermostats and other wall mounted devices.

Just my two cents.
