AU2016 SD20868

Autodesk University 2016 has come to a close for us now and it was very enlightening and entertaining. I enjoyed catching up with old friends and making a few new ones as well.

I taught a class entitled "SD20868 - Revit Usage and Model Data Reporting Simplified with C#"

It was a full solution style overview class showing how to get verb data out of Revit and into a graphical dashboard showing various Model and User metrics.

The purpose was to show and share how this can be done using ASP.NET coupled with a few other modern(ish) web development techniques. I want to thank the folks that provide the Gentelella web template and hope everyone enjoyed the class.

Revit Key Schedule Data Export

Have you ever had a need to export all of your key schedule data? The sample code provided below was built for Revit 2015 and should upgrade just fine to newer versions if need be.

Since you cannot transfer updates to existing Key Schedules from one project to another, I needed a way to export the data to a standardized key schedule definition so that I could easily import that updated definition information to a new or existing key schedule in an external project. This sample code is what I am using to export all of my key schedules including all of their row data to json file.

No I will not make a Dynamo definition for this :)

Enjoy...
