Transforming Autodesk® Inventor® Models to
Intelligent Models in Autodesk® Revit®
Adam Smith – Autodesk
MA2895
In this class, you will learn how to prepare an Autodesk Inventor software model to be used as an
intelligent model in Autodesk Revit software for Building Information Modeling (BIM). We will focus on
simplifying the Inventor model, removing intellectual property, adding necessary connectors and
metadata, and finally, importing the model into Revit.
This class will serve as a sneak peek at new functionality. For this reason, we will be asking attendees
to sign nondisclosure agreements at the start of this course. Due to the confidential nature of this
course, we are unable to distribute handouts with the course content.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, you will be able to:

Understand a variety of applications that call for use of simplified Inventor models

Use appropriate tools to reduce complexity and remove intellectual property from an Inventor
model

Add connectors and metadata

Export Inventor data into a Revit intelligent model
