Last Monday, I finally had the opportunity to get to reconnect with my old passion during the Dynamo Hackathon Dynamo<\/em> and to test our latest Data Exchange for Dynamo 2025 package. The result was an interesting workflow that might be of interest to some of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you probably already know, the Data Exchange Connector for Revit 2026 <\/a>also allows the export of room geometry - in older versions this is not possible due to the Revit API. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if we want to export the room geometry from Revit 2025 - or also take MEP spaces or Areas into account? No problem with the Dynamo Connector! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dynamo Connector is available via the Data Exchange Feedback Community<\/a> as a beta and there is also a Documentation<\/a> and Video tutorials<\/a> to help you get started.
\u26a0\ufe0f Please note that this workflow is currently only possible with the Dynamo Connector for Revit 2025! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the simplest scenario, the elements and their properties are retrieved from the open Revit project, converted and then sent to a Data Exchange: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In more advanced scenarios it is possible to transfer only certain properties to the Data Exchange, or even to update them - for example to attach values calculated in Dynamo or retrieved from other sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last step, I loaded this data exchange with the Data Exchange Connector for PowerBI in order to evaluate the room data including the room geometry in a dashboard: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can download the Dynamo scripts for Dynamo 2025 and the PowerBI Dashboard here<\/a>. Please remember that you have to create a new Data Exchange path in one of your ACC projects before executing the Dynamo scripts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
