Can Revit LT open DWG?

Can Revit open DWG files?

Revit supports the import of ACIS objects contained in DWG, DXF, DGN, and SAT files. You can incorporate a Trimble® SketchUp® design into a Revit project to provide a starting point for the building model. You can import 3D geometry from supported file formats and applications.

Is Revit LT Revit compatible?

When working in Revit LT, you can link a Revit model or a DWG model to the project. When enabled, design options work in Revit LT as in Revit. In general, Revit LT supports project parameters and shared parameters for its element categories.

Can Revit LT export DWG?

Revit LT supports export to several computer-aided design (CAD) formats. DWG (drawing) format is supported by AutoCAD® and other CAD applications.

Does Revit LT allow plugins?

What is Revit LT good for?

Revit LT is more cost-effective, streamlined BIM software for architecture professionals. It is useful for creating content in isolation. It could also be useful as a lower cost license for non-Revit team members to use for opening workshared files effectively in “detached mode” for checking and printing.

What can Revit LT do?

Revit LT delivers intuitive, 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) software based on the Autodesk Revit platform. Create higher quality designs and documentation working in a coordinated 3D model-based environment.

Can I upgrade from Revit LT to Revit?

Because Revit LT is fully compatible with other Revit products, the same designs can be shared with all other users of the platform. Aside from the convenience and collaboration side of things, the artistry of Revit is pretty incredibly in its own right.
