Version 2027.a of the Open BIM – Revit Plugin now includes the ability to generate native Revit elements from an IFC file containing HVAC systems. This feature can be used to convert pipes and ducts by assigning types previously loaded into the model, as well as to generate mechanical equipment by assigning existing families or automatically generating new ones.

Generating insulation, equipment, and pipe fittings as native entities in the Open BIM – Revit plugin
Version 2026.c extends the feature of generating native Revit elements from an IFC of piping systems. You can now convert insulation, equipment, and pipe fittings, as well as systems, pipes, and connections, by assigning previously loaded Revit families. For these elements, users can assign families previously loaded into the Revit model or automatically generate parametric families.

Changes to the interface
A new toolbar has been added to the plugin's main interface to improve the accessibility and organisation of the options. It is structured in two main sections: "Settings" and "Tools".
Settings
The configuration section brings together options for customisation, conversion control and IFC data management.
- IFC options
Defines specific configurations for the import and export of models in IFC format.
Tools
The tool section includes additional tools for viewing, filtering and managing structural models, making it easier to navigate and analyse BIM content.
- Applying transparencies to structural elements
Modifies the visibility of certain structural categories in the Revit model quickly and also applies them to the views of the user's choice, without the need to modify the visibility and graphics editor in the Revit interface.
- The categories that will be available for this tool are:
- Floors
- Walls
- Structural columns
- Structural frame
- Ramps
- Structural foundations
- Stairs
- The categories that will be available for this tool are:
- Assign colour filters to reinforcements
This tool can be used to assign colours to the rebars according to their diameter for the available views selected by the user without the need to create a filter for each one of them. The colours can be customised by the user, as well as the series of colours used in the original design program.
- Information on levels
This provides specific details on project levels, facilitating project analysis and organisation.
- Search instance
Facilitates the location of instances within the Revit project.
