Data exchange
Export file
With the “Export file” function you can save a LogiKal position/project as an external B2L file. The advantage of this approach: You can easily send this file format. The recipient of this file can then simply import it into LogiKal.
In the Revit toolbar, click on “Export file” and save the position/project as a B2L file on your hard drive.
Open the “Project Management” in LogiKal.
Click on “Import” in the toolbar and select the B2L file.
Two import methods are available in the following program window.
- You can create a new LogiKal project for the Revit file.
- You can add the Revit file to an existing project. In this case, select the project in which you want to insert the file.
Import file
To transfer a LogiKal position to Revit, you can import an external file via an L2B file.
In LogiKal, select the position that you want to export to Revit.
Click on the “Export BIM Project” option in the menu on the left and save the L2B file.
Open Revit.
Select “Import” in the toolbar and select the LogiKal position that you want to import into Revit.
