Hi everyone,
Is anyone aware of a way to import a 3D model from Revit directly into eQUEST?
I've been using version 3.64 of eQUEST and as far I as know, it's impossible in that version (aside from extracting 2D plans and importing them into eQUEST). I was wondering if a newer version of eQUEST could get the 3D job done with a straight importation from Revit (it would be a true blessing).

Hi Patrick,
I received the reply below from Autodesk regarding exporting from Revit. I have not tried it and will leave it to others to comment on their level of success with the workflow.
I don't believe the feature for direct import from REVIT is a priority for the eQUEST development team.
Regards,
~Bill

Thank you for your input Bill, very much appreciated.
I'm always looking for ways to save time in the modeling. Having a reliable way of importing an architectural model into eQUEST would most likely go along that way.
I'm wondering what's the level of success of this method and how exactly the zoning would be done.
I'll try to look a little more into this.

Hi Patrick,
I imported Revit model into eQUEST by referring to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTp9__t9Ni4
you can begin from part 1. It works for me at this moment, I completed the building geometry, envelope construction and input internal loads.
