Hi,

Does anyone know how to open an Ecotect file in Revit?

I'm trying to open the 3D shape of solar path that I have as Ecotect file.

Or, do you know how to creat 3D solar path in Revit?

Thanks

Can you not export as a *.IFC file? That's the standard usually.

But, try *.DXF file. Not at my computer at work, don't know if this allows you to import into Revit or not but would be the best possible choice out of those options.

No .IFC as far as I found.

I can import the object as .dxf but I'm trying to import the sun path.
