Features
The standout feature of ATHENA Exchange for Revit is its ability to export Revit families with their parameters as ATHENA ATH drawings. This means that you can take those "dummy" families representing window, door, or facade elements in your Revit model and enhance them in the ATHENA environment. By replacing the dummy outlines with appropriate profile outlines and adding specific profile information, you can create detailed and accurate elements that seamlessly integrate into your Revit model.
Furthermore, ATHENA Exchange for Revit simplifies the process of updating families and parameters. Once you have elaborated on the elements in ATHENA and saved them with an index, importing them back into Revit is a breeze. The plugin automatically updates the dummy families with the correct profile outlines, ensuring that your model remains accurate and up to date.
