Exporting Families to FBX results in single blocks

Anonymous

Hi everyone!

 

I am currently trying to export Revit Projects into FBX (alongside with Material Information per Element and said Materials).

 

The problem is that all Furniture Families are exported as a single block - while other Families like Windows have separated Elements.

 

Is there a way to export in such a way that the elements remain unmerged?

 

In that regard - is it even possible to access the Elements in a Family from the Project they are loaded into?

 

 

 

thanks for the help!

Hi.

 

If you can achieve that manually through the user interface, it can probably be done programmatically as well.

 

If the UI does not support this, the API will probably not do so either.

IBest regards,

Hi Jeremy!
I can achieve it manually by opening every family by itself (from the project) and exporting it there.

Is there either a way to do that programmatically or is there a better way?

Sure - i can send a sample file, but it's the case with every family loaded into a project

By now I managed to export them in single fbx files by opening the documents programmatically;
However - I know there should be a possibility via the CustomExporter to write the object geometry

directly into a created FBX file. 
Do you by any chance know the way (SDK) to do that?
