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.
- Make sure you have Revit installed on your machine.
- Make sure you have Python installed on your machine version
3.9or later. - Make sure you are running on Windows Platform. MacOS and Linux are not supported.
- Install the library by using pip:
pip install revit-extractor --upgrade- 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)
- 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)Check Example Files
-
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)
