How to export 3D building models from an Architectural Program like Revit Architecture from Autodesk?

Revit Architecture 2009 has the following export formats:
CAD Formats
Walkthrough
ODBC Database
Image
gbXML
Room/Area Export
IFC
And for those who have used Revit, I am wondering why 3ds max FBX has been blanked out??

Basicly you are SOL if you directly want a magical button that will export into Torque3D. Instead you will have to move the data from Revit to another app that can export to Collada/DAE.

AFAIK Revit works on NURBS/Solid modelling logic. This data doesn't necessarily directly translate well into other 3D applications which is why you have the Revit exporter/importer for 3DS Max.Basicly you are SOL if you directly want a magical button that will export into Torque3D.

It appears you're missing a layer of information.
What formats are CAD formats - CAD is not a format, its a type of application and their hundreds of application speficic formats + a couple generics - so, is it .3ds, .obj, etc.
What format is Walkthrough - Again, the format of the file(s) needs to be specified.
ODBC database - nopes
Image - Nopes
gbXML - probably not
Room Area Export - see Cad Formats
IFC - probably not.
