Carlson and Revit

I went through quite a bit at work today to try to answer this question: are Carlson and Revit compatible?

Not knowing a damn thing about Revit, I spoke with our company's Revit guru and learned that Revit pretty much just takes 3D geometry, namely 3D polylines and 3D faces. It couldn't be that simple, right? What about all of that intelligent data that Carlson stores? Sounds like Revit won't take that data. There is currently an email out to a guy at AutoDesk to confirm this. So it IS that simple. Have Carlson draw 3D faces and/or 3D polylines and import that into Revit. Hopefully this post ends up in someone's Google search and helps. Leave a comment if you need details.
