Hi everyone,
I work with a new precast manufacturing company, we are trying to find a way to extract wall dimensions/required panel sizes from the model revit files we get from our clients. the final information we need is basically how many panels do we need to manufacture and what are the sizes of these panels, how many of them will have windows and whats the dimensions of these windows and their location with respect to the various walls.
My question is that is there a quick was to extract such information directly from revit, and if not will writing a plugin be enough to extract the required information or will we need to develop a seperate software to take in the revit files and process them to extract the required info.
Any help you can provide will be much appriciated, even if you can point me to the right direction to start done some research. I have a lot of experiance with .Net and c#, however my revit experiance is none-existant. I already went through the revit tutorial that walks you through creating a plugin, and I can see potential in using the API for this application.
From what I've seen, the revit API provides you with full access to the model DB which I should be able to use to pull out the wall dimentions and then do my own calculations to determine the panel sizes. In your opinion do you see any issues with such senario?
Thank you very much
