Chapter 6: Importing Revit Plans in Power BI Using Shape Files

This chapter is written by Gavin Crump

Gavin is an architect too and is the founder of a BIM consultancy company working in Australia. Gavin is very active on social media, and thanks to him, I've often learned new ways of doing "things." His level of expertise in design technologies is very high, and I am happy to have worked with him to develop this chapter. Gavin will show us a fantastic workflow on importing Revit plans inside Power BI and making them interactive with the rest of the charts. Enjoy reading!
