BIM INTEROPERABILITY TOOL: COBie. Type Spreadsheet missing families

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm currently using the BIM Interoperability tools to input Cobie data and I'm having issues with families selected for COBie not appearing within the Revit schedule.

Depending on the families, I'm seeing different results when exporting the spreadsheet with Roofs appearing within the exported schedule but not within the revit schedule and some wall types not appearing within either revit nor excel export.

Has anyone had issues with this before?

Thanks,

Peter

The schedules in the Revit model are only there for reference and do not reflect, necessarily, what is going to get exported to the COBie spreadsheet. The COBie or COBie.Type checkbox parameter are what tells the COBie Extension to export an instance or type to the spreadsheet so app that really matters is if those are checked. You can do that manually through the properties windows or with the Select tool in the extension to do it as a batch. So confirm that that parameter is checked for all the elements you want exported.
