Hello all,

I think this is the right place to get answer to my question..

I have a batch of Revit files converted them in to .RVZ using FME Exporter and i need to convert them in to .GDB files by using FME Desktop .

I have a knowledge creating them as a single file (RVZ----GDB)

But am looking for Batch process to convert .RVZ files to .GDB files.

Please help me out ..

Thanks in advance ...

I think you are looking for the option "fanout dataset". You can choose the fme_basename as fanout attribute.

It might be that you'll have to use An AttributeExposer to make fme_basename visible. If that doesn't work, you can expose it as a Format Attribute from the reader.

Now you'll get a GDB for each RVZ

If I understand your question, you have already prepared the workbench to convert RVZ to GDB and you want same to be as batch process for more than 1 file. Right?

It might be a challenge to create a workspace for you without using your data. This is because there are a number of variables, such as the quality of the RVZ-file, that'll impact the result.

 

 

I would start with the workspace for a single conversion and adjust the following. Afterwards you can select all files to process them at once.

 

 

As stated in my (updated) answer, enable the 'fme_basename' as a Format Attribute on the reader side:

 

 

And go to the navigator pane, open your writer and select 'Fanout Dataset'. There you can choose the folder to write to and the attribute to use for writing your GDB file. You'll have to add the ".gdb" extension for the filegeodatase, otherwise it will be written without.

 

 

Hope this helps.
