This software has a plugin that exports the elements and all data to Revit. For example, the reinforcement data of a column, as shown in the image, are exported as metadata in Mass parameters with the total kg calculated for each rebar diameter.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Parameters Column.png" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1366993i38499606334FC973/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Parameters Column.png" alt="Parameters Column.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>However, the software has some limitations, and there are special elements where it is necessary to calculate and draw and/or model the reinforcement independently. This plugin cannot export this reinforcement because there is no way to link the element with the reinforcement drawing properly.</P><P>I need to export an IFC that contains these reinforcement data in each element. <SPAN>Ideally, I would not like to export the reinforcements themselves, just the data.</SPAN></P><P><BR />If I model the reinforcement in Revit, is there any way for the host element to have these data in this parameter automatically, without having to manually enter the data? Maybe a Dynamo Script?</P> Fri, 24 May 2024 12:21:20 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-structure-forum/exporting-reinforcement-data-from-revit-to-ifc-automating-host/m-p/12795368#M3321 rekuster 2024-05-24T12:21:20Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-structure-forum/exporting-reinforcement-data-from-revit-to-ifc-automating-host/m-p/12799963#M3322 <P>you need the weigh of reinforcement hosted in an element filled into a parameter right ?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If so then yes this is achievable by dynamo, it will need a bit of work though you can probably use the Rebar.gethost node from BIM4Struc package while selecting all rebars in the project by category and from there you'll have a list of rebars and their hosts then you can calculate volume and weight and assign it into the parameters you want it sound easy but it'll require a lot of work.</P> Mon, 27 May 2024 12:50:16 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-structure-forum/exporting-reinforcement-data-from-revit-to-ifc-automating-host/m-p/12799963#M3322 Basselhesham1 2024-05-27T12:50:16Z
