WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

AEC teams using Revit need to collaborate with engineers using CATIA V5 for advanced analysis, manufacturing, or detailed engineering workflows, but manual file conversion is time-consuming and often results in geometry loss or metadata corruption.

The Solution

Automated plugin converts Revit architectural models directly to CATIA V5 format (.CATPart/.CATProduct), preserving geometry, topology, colors, and metadata while allowing selective element export and adjustable tessellation quality.
