[edit] File Information

Revit software uses a few different file formats.[4]

  • RTE (template) files and RVT (project) files are actual Revit® projects.[5]
  • RFA (family) files and RFT (family template) files are family files that can either be loaded into a project or saved externally.
  • RVG are Revit group files.[6]
  • RWS files are Revit workspace files created as a backup during software use.

[edit] File Identification

RVT & RFA files use the Microsoft Compound File format[7][8] and are practically identical. Template files are also identical.

Generally the format consists of a few files and folders, usually containing a file called "BasicFileInfo" and a PNG or JPG thumbnail file "RevitPreview4.0". RFA files newer than 2010 have an XML file included called "PartAtom" which includes details of the family file.

  • Revit library 1.0 to 3.0 (needs more research)
  • Revit library 4.0 to 9.0 (no "BasicFileInfo" contains thumbnail "RevitPreview4.0")
  • Revit library 2008 to 2018 ("BasicFileInfo" file with build info. "Revit Build: Autodesk Revit 2018 (Build: 20170130_1515(x64))" contains thumbnail "RevitPreview4.0")
  • Revit library 2019 to 2020 (BasicFileInfo" file with new format & build info. "Format: 2020 Build: 20190207_1515(x64)" contains thumbnail "RevitPreview4.0")
