Hi - this is probably a case of trying to run before learning to walk, but I'm interested to know if this is possible We are working on a school project (32 classroom), and whilst we are not doing the whole project as either BIM, or even fully Revit based, we are trying to use it to tease out a few 'what if ?' and 'can Revit do this ?' as well as use it as a test bed for the exchange of info across the design team.
I'm still relatively new to Revit - and am working on building up some fundamental skills.
We inherit a large number of our project brief requirements in spreadsheet format (some of which is COBE format, most not). I've read a bit on 'pushing' data out from Revit into Excel, but can you 'pull' it in from a pre-completed Excel spreadsheet - for say Room Data Sheets ?
As an example, Room Data Sheets have a host of requirements and finishes. Could we set the spreadsheet up to say refer to a specific floor finish (description + NBS/specification reference), and have that then brought into the Revit project as a tag / finish ? Same with ceiling finishes etc.
I realise this is probably a quite complex area to get into, If I at least knew it was possible, I would spend a bit more time investigating it as it seems we will receive more of our briefs in this format, and it would be a real time saver - especially if the data were linked and totally two-way.
Many thanks
Martin
