Generate a 3D view as an image of Revit files

[charaf_eddine]

Hello everyone, 

Do any of you know how to automatically generate a 3D view as an image of a bunch of Revit files without doing it manually for each file? Is there a tool that can do this job? If necessary, I can code (I am familiar with C# and Python).

Thank you for your assistance regarding this matter,

Charaf.

'How' obviously depends on your detailed requirements. I can confirm that it is possible, and that several options are available. For instance, you could create a text file listing the paths of all the projects you wish to generate a view for, and then for each path:

• Open the project
• Activate the default 3D view
• Export an image file for the current view
• Close the project

Do you have any specific requirements on the view, its settings, the output file, or anything?

Instead of asking me and the other human forum participants, you could also ask ChatGPT for a faster answer:

Since similar questions have been asked and answered many times in the past, its answer is pretty reliable in this case. You can also ask ChatGPT to be more specific and drill down into the nitty-gritty API details. Some answers will be correct, others will not, but they might save some time for you from hunting around...
