    RAM <> Revit Interoperability

    Just stepping in with my first post...
    Looking to find others who are using RAM and RST. No real questions or comments right now, but interested in finding a group of others with similar experience.

    Yes, we use RAM to Revit link provided by Bentley. We have had pretty good success going both ways with the model. I'll be glad to share what I've learned with you.

      Hi,
      it sounds interesting to me. Can you post more details about this? examples?

      Regards,

        what about ETABS

          Alex, I've worked with a firm that is using ETABS (I'm not with them anymore,) but I don't know if they're importing/exporting information to/from Revit. The firm I'm working with now does not use ETABS, so I don't have the opportunity to play with it.

          RAM users: I'm having an issue importing my RAM model into Revit. Another user, our setups are the same as far as we can tell, is able to run the External Tool Add-in "Import model from RAM...", but I am not. We actually get the same listing of errors and warnings (mostly slab/deck mappings) but his machine completes the import and my machine lists "Import Failed. See log for details."

          I'm pretty new to Revit<>RAM, and I'd like to get this stuff figured out. Any advice?

            RAM Revit Link Issues

            LeanneZ,

            Where is your import log file?

              I'm seeing a file in my C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System\Data folder called .log
              it's only 1 KB and has a time stamp that is 10 minutes after I tried to import the RAM model into Revit.
              Contents of .log are:

              TRUE - CreateProcess: Program: RamDefaults Model:

              TRUE - CreateProcess: Program: RamDefaults Model:

                When you do the import the warning log box should pop up showing you a warning. Do you have an email address instead of the forum I can try to help you out. I also have gchat if you wanted.

                  UPDATE:
                  I eventually had to contact Bentley. They were able to send me a RAM Revit Link that is currently in Beta (expecting to release in the next few weeks) that finally allowed my RAM model to import into Revit.
                  Still don't know why it would work on another user's computer but not on mine. But, I'm able to import the model now, so I'm happy.
                  Oh, and even though it didn't work out, THANKS to sbouvia who did sincerely (but unsuccessfully) try to help me out last month. :beer:

                    Hi all,

                    I have been tasked here with getting our RAM <> Revit link working, because there have been some issues during import into RST. One problem I have been told we are having is that 3 1/2" columns are not being imported. I have not gotten too far with troubleshooting, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a simular issue and has any advice.

                    Thanks for any help,

                    Sarah
