Finding Coordinates in the Revit DB Link SQL Database

[kdane]

Hello all,

I have successfully exported my Revit 2011 file to an SQL database using the Revit DB Link software from Autodesk. I am trying to find the location coordinates of the structural columns in the database but I can't seem to find them. I have found the structural column table and can run a query that produces a list of the columns with their properties (including top and bottom offset) but I am looking for the x,y coordinates. Is that information included in this database export? Ideally, I would like to be able to slightly manipulate the coordinates and height of the columns and then reimport the changes using the Revit DB Link tool.

Thanks for your help

You need to use the SDK to get these values.

You need to filter the objects you want then get the values and pass them out.

As for updating them you will need alot more advanced work for automatic setup.

I use the Exitech tool to get the X,Y,Z Values from the models.
