Are you interested in easy access to your Revit model properties?
Well, you can have that, and you can even do so without a need to install Revit.
The Forge Model Derivative API extracts a streamlined copy of all geometry, BIM element hierarchy and properties from over fifty file formats, and Revit RVT files are just one of them.
Augusto Goncalves implemented
the viewer-javascript-extract.spreadsheet Forge sample to read all the properties on all BIM elements in an RVT file and export them to an XLSX spreadsheet.
That's pretty neat, I think.
Many thanks to Augusto for putting that together.
If you would like to learn more about Forge, don't miss the chance to join the next European Forge accelerator:
We have two Forge accelerators coming up in Europe in the next couple of months:
I am planning on attending both of these and would love to see you there too.
In fact, the complete EMEA DevTech Team will be present to support you over the course of the week.
They take place in the Autodesk offices with lots of space and cool recreation areas.
Attendance is free of charge – all you pay for is your travel, accommodation and living expenses.
You can still apply to participate in either of these two events by sending your Forge App development project ideas to adn-training-worldwide@autodesk.com.
More information is available at autodeskcloudaccelerator.com.
Check out the videos on the landing page to hear what great results the attendees at previous accelerators achieved after just one week of intensive teamwork and training.
Please note that space is limited to two persons per company.
