We are researching into the possibility of working with state and government offices that require the integration of Bentley BIM with Revit models. I found an article for a Revit Bentley Plug-in for Revit Architectural 2008 that states: “The Bentley Revit Plug-in allows you to save your Revit models in a way that lets you open them up in MicroStation or Bentley Building products, retaining most of the Revit properties information from your Revit model. The Plug-in is designed to help teams working in a mixed Revit/Bentley environment to be able to get Revit models into a MicroStation based design workflow for coordination purposes, interference detection and similar. The Revit Plug-in is NOT designed as a way to convert an existing Revit model to Bentley's Building applications with 100% fidelity, so that further modeling work on the model can be continued in Bentley Architecture". Does anyone know if this is still true? Has the integration become better or easier to save Revit files for Bentley BIM? Since Revit is now running the 2010 version, has anyone had any success, or failure, integrating Revit into Bentley BIM? I researched the RevitCity site, and didn’t find any articles within this year regarding Bentley and Revit. Any advice, comments, etc are appreciated.

I would doubt that Bentley would ever want a fully functioning conversion program. What we need to push for is the government to accept Revit models ion lieu of Bentley.
