Hello all,
I come from the BIM (Building Information Modeling) world and I have been looking for solutions to extract data from 3D models for a long time now. Recently this implied I had to try extracting data from 210 Revit models with an average file size of 200Mb. After different tries, I'm now on the FME desktop path, to which I'm fairly new to..., for testing with IFC (open source) files extracted from Revit models.
Essentially there are a few key parameter in Revit Basic sample project in IFC from Revit (I think you guys call them attributes) that I would like to extract. Unfortunately, I see those parameters in different "viewers" (Navisworks, Solibri) from the same files I'm using for FME Desktop but I have no luck with the latter. I can expose those attributes but never get any values for them when exported to excel, SQL or event the FME data inspector (although I can see their columns). For now, the attributes in questions are "Assembly Code" and "Assembly Code Description"
I tried both the IFC and RVZ readers (RVZ seems more appropriate for what I want to do) but without luck... If any of you wants to get a crack at it!
The final goal would eventually be to have 1 input (IFC from external consultants), read it and supplement those 2 parameters if they're empty (with an Excel mapping file) and finish by writing multiple IFC based on grouped "Assembly Code" values while extracting other data to SQL with date stamp.
