I need to extract metadata from a rvt file but I don't know how to do that.

I tried to follow Autodesk's guide for how to Extract Metadata from a Source File but I've discovered that I can't convert a rvt file to a svf2 file. (I listed the possible conversions using the formats method of the Model Derivative API.)

In fact, I get this response when calling the endpoint (whose URL is )

{
    "diagnostic": "Failed to trigger translation for this file."
}

Is there another way to extract metadata?

I used this postman collection (from the autodesk platform services repo GitHub).

• Did you keep the "*.rvt" extension for the file that you uploaded to the bucket? stackoverflow/questions/38339642/… – Adam Nagy Commented Mar 12 at 18:18

You cannot perform the translation from RVT to SVF2 yourself. You need to use the APS translation services for that. For more details, please research how to translate an RVT BIM to SVF2.
