Features and Benefits
The ATHENA Exchange for Revit simplifies the process of exporting and importing Revit families for further modification. With this plugin, users can automatically save Revit families, including their parameters, as ATHENA ATH drawings in DWG format (until Revit 2019). For Revit 2020 and higher, the app will export ATH Format, which can be modified with ATHENA 2021.
One of the key benefits of this plugin is its ability to streamline the workflow for planners and designers working with Revit models. In projects where window, door, or facade elements are represented as "dummy" families, the ATHENA Exchange for Revit allows for easy export and modification of these elements in the ATHENA environment. Once the elements have been elaborated and updated, they can be easily imported back into the Revit model, with the dummy families automatically updated with the correct profile outlines.
