Our project requires us to export to Revit 2021, with categorisation / class information intact, for integration into a wider Revit BIM model. The recipient (Revit user) has informed us after a test import that the model imports only as a 3D block, lacking any of the required information of the building elements, and so what we have sent isn't suitable for import into the main model.
I gather from other similar threads that there is no control over the Revit export settings in Vectorworks, so firstly I'd just like to check that is correct? We have imported Revit models to Vwx with this info included so would have hoped it works the other way around too?
If that is correct, is there a recommended work-around or an export to a different file type which will would allow us to supply the model with the required level of information?

Hi,

We use Vectorworks version 2022.
Thanks in advance for your help.
