Hi, I have some trouble when I want export the custom properties of a Revit file. After exporting in rvz with the "Export Revit property sets" checked, I can see them when I open it in the inspector, but I can't access them in the workbench, or export the properties in a csv (with the ID I could reaggregate the data).

Could you help me ?

Hi @basilethibaultn,

We presently have a limitation in FME that prevents us from exposing all the available attributes from the Revit reader. However, you can manually expose any of the unexposed attributes using the AttributeExposer transformer. The simplest way to do this is to copy and paste the attribute names from the Data Inspector. I apologize about making you do this extra work, and we are working on improving the Revit reader in FME.
