Linking Revit 2014 with MS Project

Anonymous

Hello, in pervious versions of Revit there has been an 'Export to MS project' option. This doesnt seem to exist on Revit 2014. I have tried searching through the extensions but with no joy. There are plenty to link Revit with MS Excel & Access, but now MS project. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks in advance!

I dont't recall there ever being a direct export to Microsoft Project in the stock shipping version of Revit.

Perhaps you were using an add-in that provided this connectivity but don't have the same thing for the version you are now using?

You can export to ODBC format.

Perhaps it would be more productive to do this with Navisworks Timeliner features and MS Project?

The previous version of revit had a Import From / Export to MS project (See attached). It allows projects to be kept up to date when a change is made in either program.

That is a really old version of Revit. The image shows Revit 8.1. So perhaps 2005-2006 time frame? The image is also showing the feature being access from an Add-on. Even that is pertty far back for a Revit add-on. Not much of the API was exposed back then, but perhaps the ad-on was using some kind of ODBC export technique to link into MS Project? This was never OOTB functionality for Revit.

Wow, that's an old screen shot! ...Long enough ago that I forgot about that, sorry. Are you actually still using 8.1? Autodesk doesn't even support the software that is that old anymore.

 

Yeah, like Jeff said that's long gone, along with the Cost X integration that was in the earliest versions of Revit. Both probably disappeared about the same time.

Steve,

 

I think there are only a handful of us who remember the Cost X integration.  Smiley Happy  I think that disappeared maybe even before Autodesk acquisition of Revit.

Old timers we are eh?

 

I wasn't wrong entirely, it's definitely not part of "stock" Revit because it is listed under Tools > External Tools. That was reserved for API customization and at that time there was not much available yet. I did find a post at AUGI that suggests it was an Autodesk Consulting tool that they made available for some clients. Regardless at this time its either utterly gone because of effort put into Navisworks instead. If it were traceable it wouldn't work in present day Revit either.
