Summary
In this chapter, we covered quite a lot of things. We learned how to use Autodesk Dynamo to create a script that opens multiple Revit models in the background. By the way, I made a similar script last year, and I've used it to gather data from more than 1,000 Revit models simultaneously. I was so proud of that!
We learned how to retrieve all we wanted from our BIM models during script development by collecting models, rooms, levels, and sheets information. We can query any of the families contained within the model, whether they are family instances or loaded families that haven't been placed yet. Then, we learned how to add the filenames to each list to see where a model's data stops and where the next one begins. Then, we understood how to organize those datasets for Microsoft Excel, exporting different datasets into different sheets.
