Dynamo: Use Excel Coordinates to Create Model Lines in Revit®

If you have many coordinates in Excel spreadsheet or in other table format, it’s easy to use the power of Dynamo to get those coordinates into Revit®.

In our example, we will use x, y, z coordinates to create model lines within Revit® project.

There are two ways to approach this problem:

  1. Coordinates represent continuous points (like in polyline)
  2. There are pairs of coordinates, each pair representing single line

Supported Multi-Category Schedule Categories in Revit®

It is important to know that Revit® does not support all Revit® categories when creating Multi-Categories Schedule or Material Takeoffs.

Not knowing that may lead to omissions and wrong quantities.
