Hi,

yes just the same as arch. You will need to be aware if the Revit product you use is exporting 'rooms' or 'spaces' to make sure you get a good export of your model.

you can manually export the gbXML or else the IESVE plug-in for Revit is compatible with Revit Arch, MEP or Suites.

In this way, how can I check the settings of ducts and duct fittings set in Revit in IES?

That data won't be shared between Revit and IESVE. When you export from Revit to VE using our plug-in the only data held in the gbXML is geometry data, the VE plug-in provides an interface for assigning thermal data (systems, constructions etc) to the geometry output by Revit but all other data that you want to analyse has to be defined and analysed in VE.
