10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The technique for importing files from
Revit to eQUEST is outlined on Green Building Studio’s. website (http://www.greenbuildingstudio.com/gbsinc/index.aspx).
They offer a free trial of their on-line software which takes a gbXML file from
Revit Architecture or MEP and converts it to a usable inp file. In my
experience with it so far, it is more useful early on when you most likely have
a very simple model. Complex models (an architect’s CD model for
example) with lots of overhangs, shading features and other extraneous details
seem to give it problems. The potential is very exciting though.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
