Import/Link

The Import/Link command allows you to import or link to various file formats.
Different file formats may be imported with different qualities of geometry. For information about variations
in imported geometry, see
When you import files, you may need to zoom in the drawing area to see the imported data. See
Project Views
For information about linking Revit models, see

Suitability of Imported Geometry

When you import a file into Revit Architecture, the format of the imported file may support varying qualities
of geometry. These variations are caused by the file type, the export settings, and the import settings.
Some commands and capabilities in Revit Architecture require specific types of geometry. For example:
The Join Geometry tool requires volumetric geometry.
Rendering an image requires that faces are associated with material properties.
The Roof by Face tool requires geometry with suitably sized faces for flat roof panels or a NURB
representation of a complex, shaped roof panel.

A Buzzsaw project can contain a hierarchy of project folders (which contain administrative
information only) and standard folders (which contain data). If the target folder is a subfolder,
specify the path from the project site. For example, if you want to upload project files to the
Fountain subfolder in the Courtyard project folder of the Palace project site, enter the following:
