Revit Extractor

Revit Extractor is a library that allows you to export native data from Revit files without needing to open Revit. It’s particularly useful for extracting data from Revit files and integrating it into other systems.

Requirements

• Make sure you have Revit installed on your machine.
• Make sure you have Python installed on your machine version 3.9 or later.
• Make sure you are running on Windows Platform. MacOS and Linux are not supported.

How to use

1. Install the library by using pip:

pip install revit-extractor --upgrade

2. Get Revit Version

from revit_extract import RevitExtractor
rvt_path = r"D:\_WIP\Download\Sample Office Building Model V1.rvt"
version = RevitExtractor.get_version(rvt_path)
print(version)

Bulk Extract All Models Version :

import os
import pandas as pd
from revit_extract import RevitExtractor
path = "D:\Development\Revit\Project\XXX\Electrical"
def get_files(path):
    df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['File', 'Version'])
    for r, d, f in os.walk(path):
        for file in f:
            if '.rvt' in file:
                version = RevitExtractor.get_version(os.path.join(r, file))
                df.loc[len(df)] = [file, version]
    return df
df = get_files(path)
df.head()

3. Use the library in your code:

• Extract all categories from Revit file:

from revit_extract import RevitExtractor
rvt_path = r"D:\_WIP\Download\Sample Office Building Model V1.rvt"
prodb = RevitExtractor(rvt_path).read_prob_data()
categories = prodb.get_all_categories()
for key in categories:
    print(key, categories[key])

• Extract data by categories and parameters from Revit file:

from revit_extract import RevitExtractor
rvt_path = r"D:\_WIP\Download\Sample Office Building Model V1.rvt"
prodb = RevitExtractor(rvt_path).read_prob_data()
categories =["Walls", "Doors"]
params = ["Name", "Type", "Level"]
data_frame = prodb.get_data_by_categories_and_params(categories, params)
data_frame.to_excel("output.xlsx", index=False)

Limitation

• Export Schedule table data is not supported with svf format.

• Geometry data is limit supported to read at the moment (But can export and use APS-Toolkit)

Development

• Clone the repository
• Install the dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run the tests by running pytest
• Make your changes
