    Default 8.1/N - Import Excel room data to Schedules - O

    Hi all,

    We get program data in Excel format and we typically start by inputting this data manually into Revit through a Schedule. The we start modeling the building using a sketched plan as an underlay and start assigning the untagged rooms to the individual spaces. This way, we make sure that all programmed spaces have been accounted for and any additional non-programmed spaces are discussed and noted.

    The manual input is tedious and it would be great if there was an import capability. I believe this should be something built in Revit and not developed by a programmer through the API. What's your take?

    Revit needs full Excel support for lots of different tasks.
