Hi,
I need to work out how to keep an excel file up to date with changes in Revit. I have made schedules in revit about the number of doors, windows walls etc. as well as areas and volumes of each material used in the project, I need this information in excel but also for the excel to stay up to date with any changes in Revit. Is this possible? I tried to use a plug in called BIMlink but this didn't seem to work with finding volumes and areas of materials.
Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks.
There are other addins on the market to do this, like this one from Case Inc, but i prefer to use DbLink (from autodesk via subscription). With it you can link your project to a access or SQL database. DbLink also exposes parameters that cannot be scheduled within Revit, which is a bonus. I know DbLink works with Excel too, although i've never tested it.
