Convert AVEVA E3D models into native Autodesk Revit models
Bring AVEVA E3D engineering data into Revit. ModelSwap creates native, editable Revit elements that follow your project standards.
How can an E3D model become a native Revit model?
A visual exchange is not enough when Revit teams need editable, project-ready model data. They need native Revit elements, using the appropriate built-in categories and project families where needed.
The usual approaches
IFC export and generic primitives
An IFC import displays the geometry and retains some properties. The elements remain generic: they are not native Revit elements that teams can edit, document, and coordinate within the project.
Manual remodelling
Manual remodelling recreates the elements in Revit, using built-in types and project families where appropriate. It takes significant effort and must be repeated whenever the E3D model changes.
ModelSwap: a structured conversion workflow
ModelSwap converts E3D geometry and data into native Revit elements. Each element follows your project standards and uses the appropriate Revit category, type, or family.
How ModelSwap works
ModelSwap maps source data to native Revit objects through reusable conversion rules.
