[Revit-Robot] How to clean in Revit all Robot data

I would like to clean all data in Revit that were imported from Robot: member numbers, advanced bar properties, load combinations, member types, etc. How to do it? This is for troubleshooting.

The only option I can think of is to use Revit API and unbind the items from the attached picture (Manage > Shared Parameters in Revit) from Revit categories.

Or perhaps remove these parameters in this window? Would it give the same effect as unbinding via API?

No, not all Robot 'data' will be removed in this way.

I suppose that you heve to delete the "R2R...." shared parameters/

Message 6 of 40

I've erased RM_R2R_LinkSessionIdList, RM_R2R_OriginOffset and RM_RSLoads. Now When I export to Robot I get an Error/Warning saying: "Parameter RM_R2R_OrginOffset, RM_R2R_LinkSessionIdList, RM_RSLoads not defined in shared parameters file "C:\Program Files\...\RMParam.txt".

 

It doesn't cause any problems, but I'm still curious why this appears.

The reason I wrote unbind (and did not write remove) was that you should not remove (you should unbind). This might have corrupted the link and is not what should be done.

How do you "unbind" a share parameter?

Message 9 of 40

I would also welcome some explanation and perhaps sample code. There are no examples for unbinding parameters this in the Revit API documentation.

Ready for RST 2013.

 

It clears all Revit Extensions parameters together with RST-Robot link parameters.

 

Copy attached files with folder from zip to

 

[c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013]

 

So it should be : 

 

c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\DREXProjectCleaner\DREXProjectCleaner.dll 

c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2013\\DREXProjectCleaner.addin

 

Then this module will be available in Add-Ins tab as shown below:

To run it just press OK on next window

For 2012

 

Copy attached files with folder from zip to

 

[c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2012]

 

So it should be : 

 

c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2012\DREXProjectCleaner\DREXProjectCleaner.dll 

c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2012\\DREXProjectCleaner.addin

Can I do something about that?

Have you done it manually or by this addin?

Could you consider publishing the source code for this script? I am sure the advanced users would appreciate it.

No, sorry.

These Addins are developed by ADSK, copyrighted etc.

I am trying to run this on 2013 now and I think it is installed correctly, because it shows up in the External Tools menu. But when I click to run it, it does not seem to be doing anything, there is no message no nothing. And Robot data are still there.
