and create a new family using a template (e.g., Mechanical Equipment.rft ).
"Just convert it," the senior partner had barked. But Leo knew it wasn't that simple. DWGs were like photographs; RFAs were like living sculptures. You couldn't just "click" one into the other.
There is no single-click "magic" online converter that directly transforms a generic file into a native, parametric
: They wrap the DWG geometry inside an RFA container.
No cost (if you have Revit), high geometric fidelity. Cons: Manual, slow, not truly parametric.
A: Most free online converters accept 10MB. Paid plans accept up to 100MB. For larger files, use a desktop tool like Rhino.Inside.Revit.
