Has anyone in the AEC industry who's reading this worked out a good way to get Bluebeam MEP, electrical layouts into Revit (LOD 200-300). Have seen MarkupX as a paid option, but it seems some AI in the loop can greatly speed up excepti

I'm keen on trying freecad 1.0. After professional training in engineering drafting, I'm interested to see if I can get by with a lot more understanding of the processes.
