Chapter 8. Interoperability: Working Multiplatform
In the previous chapter, we discussed working with others in a Revit-to-Revit environment; however, often you'll need to work with data from other software platforms.

We will discuss not only the methods of importing and exporting data but also when to use each method and the reasons for using specific settings. In this chapter, you'll learn to:
Use imported 2D CAD data
Export 2D CAD data
Use imported 3D model data
Export 3D model data
Work with IFC imports and exports
