Autocad Architecture doesn’t open RFA files either. In which software you want to use the . dwg object? If you have AutoCAD LT that has no 3d module( if my memory serves me right ) , you can load 3d objects but you are not able to edit them….
You asked, can Revit files be opened in AutoCAD? No. Revit must export to DWG first.
Also the question is, how do I open an RFA file?
- Click on “Product Trial” on the main menu to the far left.
- Select your language on the next page with the drop down menu.
- Follow the prompts and instructions to install the software.
- Open the software. Click “File” in the main menu bar. Scroll down and click “Open.”
- Browse for your . rfa file.
Correspondingly, how do I convert Revit to AutoCAD?
Beside above, how do I open an RFA file without Revit?
- Use the free online A360 Viewer.
- Download the free Design Review 2013 and export the Revit model as a DWF.
- Use the Revit viewer mode.
- If you have Navisworks, you can open the Revit file in Navisworks, then save as an NWD file.

Can AutoCAD Open BIM files?
To convert your files, you are first going to need to download the Autodesk BIM extension “Autodesk BIM 360 Glue add-in app for AutoCAD”. This extension can be found either on Autodesk’s website or as an automatic addition to AutoCAD and Autodesk BIM if you purchased your software after September of 2014.
Can SketchUp open RFA files?
No. The RVT and RFA file formats are proprietary to Autodesk, so the only way is to export from Revit to a file format Sketchup can understand.
What is a .RFA file used for?
RFA is a file extension assigned to Revit Family Files, a file type designed specifically for the BIM Modeling Software Autodesk Revit. Revit families are a group of 2D and 3D digital components that aid in the development of . RVT’s (Revit Project Files).
Is there a free Revit viewer?
You can use the Autodesk® Revit® trial, available from the Autodesk website: www.autodesk.com, to view projects for free. After the 30-day trial mode is over, Revit will run indefinitely in Demo Mode.
Can you xref Revit into AutoCAD?
1) Start a new, empty drawing in AutoCAD 2) Load Cap 3) Attach the DWG created out of Revit as an external reference within AutoCAD a) Typing “XREF” at the AutoCAD command line and using the “External Reference” palette is the most common method, but it also possible via the “Insert” ribbon, in the “Reference” section.
Is AutoCAD better than Revit?
As a tool with BIM capabilities, Revit is more data-intensive than AutoCAD. The latest versions of AutoCAD and Revit have cloud computing capabilities, where key project files are hosted in a web database. This makes work more efficient, while avoiding the confusion of managing multiple file versions.
Can Solidworks open Revit files?
Causes: Solidworks does not natively open or import RFA and RVT files.
Autodesk Navisworks can read native Revit (RVT) files directly, or you can use the Revit File Exporter to convert the RVT file into NWC format.
Go to Solution. Freedom can only view DWF and NWD files, which is normal for a program which is free. Not a Revit person, but I *think* Revit can produce 3D DWF files natively. NWD files are “published” by Navisworks Simulate or Manage.
How do I convert Revit to SketchUp?
- From the file menu, go to export > options > exports setups dwg/dxf. Click on the solids tab, and select ACIS solids.
- Hit OK, and return to the export menu > CAD formats > DWG.
- Import the model into SketchUp Pro.
