If you select a view called “banana” in the Revit reader but the view doesn’t exist in the file (for instance, in a parameterised or generic workspace), the reader will default to the first available view. This can lead to unwanted data being read, and cannot be controlled by the user without accessing the log file.

Please improve the Revit reader by:

  • Not reading any data if the selected view is not available
  • Adding the view that was used to access data to the feature attributes

Hi ​@roland.martin, that sounds less than ideal. Having a look!

Hi ​@roland.martin,

We just release FME 2026.1, which contains a small improvement to the Revit Reader: A new parameter named Read Best Fit View If Selected View is Missing, enabled by default to not change the previous behavior. When disabled, the reader will error out with a log message if the specified view doesn’t exist.

Cheers
