File Extension | RVT |
Full Name | Autodesk Revit Architecture Project Format |
File with an .RVT extension contains a 3D building project; its full data and display settings. RVT files may contain data on building’s sections, elevations, floors and also project characteristics and linked data.
File Extension | RFA |
Full Name | Autodesk Revit Architecture Family Format |
Files with the .RFA extension contain either 3D model data or several different models that can be loaded into a 3D scene design in Revit.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "RVT") to another (referred to as "RFA"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, RVT file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format RVT to format RFA becomes essential.
So, how can we perform RVT to RFA file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format RVT and transforming it into format RFA. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of RVT to RFA converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of RVT to RFA. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the RVT file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
