Reporting beam analysis in dynamo

[braicodavid]

So I've been slowly creating a model in revit using dynamo. I need to now produce a bill of materials. is there a way that I can call out a beam type and produce a list of details for each instance (possibly write to excel). 

I just want the name of the beam, the quantity used in the project and the lengths that these are. 

thoughts?

Yes, this is not too difficult

In Dynamo there are nodes available that select/filter elements in the Revit project

You can extract parameter values from the filtered Revit easily (e.g GetParameterValueByName).

Then it is a matter to assemble all your data in a list and export that to Excel

Concept:

Also consider to visit DynamoBim.org. There is a lot of information including tutorials and a forum dedicated to Dynamo.
