Reports & Schedules

[jpiwowar]

I am trying to get the element id to show up in a report or schedule. Does anyone know if this can be done and if so, how?

Looks like we need a third party software as Revit does not allow to get element ID. I've tried with shared parameter but couldn't get it. Any other idea?

At this time, there is not a way to schedule the Element ID automatically. Having said that, you can add a new parameter, which can then be scheduled, and enter the Element ID manually.

I think it's possible that Revit dbLink (subscription) may provide this information. as it is a database and I'm sure those are the keys.

If that's not viable you can download the free Trial of Ideate Explorer or Ideate BIMLink to access this info.
