Export asset information from a Revit project

00:04

After completion of this video,

00:06

you'll be able to apply an asset information

00:09

requirements document to set up structured asset data

00:12

for sharing with other disciplines and export asset information

00:16

within a revI project model in COI format.

00:20

With information assigned to elements within a model,

00:23

you'll need to export it so that you can share it with the client.

00:27

Begin by opening Revvit and open the supply

00:30

dataset Revit model in the Project browser.

00:33

Activate the base level floor plan view.

00:36

Select the door

00:37

in the Properties panel,

00:39

scroll to find the COI parameter and ensure it is selected.

00:43

On the ribbon in the Interoperability tools tab,

00:46

and on the COI Extension panel,

00:48

click select to open the COI Extension dialogue.

00:52

Key information your client requested

00:54

is what level is the door on and what room does it access?

00:59

Scroll and tick level and room in the dialogue also.

01:03

So only doors,

01:05

levels,

01:05

and rooms at this point which will export information on the doors,

01:09

the rooms they're in,

01:10

and the floor or level that they're on,

01:12

click Apply and close,

01:14

and Kobe sets the types and builds the schedules in the project.

01:18

On the ribbon,

01:19

on the interoperability tools tab and Cobi Extension panel,

01:24

click Update to take the information from the

01:26

elements and apply it to the COI schedule.

01:29

Leave the default set for now and click Apply to close and complete the extraction.

01:34

You can see the information by looking in the project browser.

01:38

Scroll to find and expand the schedules if needed,

01:41

and double click on Kobe.component.

01:44

Door's schedule to open.

01:46

Here's the component or specific information for that door,

01:49

and further down you'll find Coe.type.schedule.

01:53

This is the type information for all of the

01:55

elements in the project with information assigned to them.

01:59

Return to the ribbon interoperability tools tab and Cobi extension

02:03

panel and click Create Spreadsheet to open the dialogue,

02:08

ensuring all the sheets are ticked.

02:10

Again,

02:10

this relates to the AIR deliverables specified as to what is required.

02:15

Click the browse button to navigate to where you want to save it

02:18

and enter a file name.

02:20

If you're adhering to the BIM execution plan and naming conventions,

02:24

you may want to name it PRJ 001.

02:29

And using hyphen

02:30

ARC to indicate the architectural company.

02:34

Z

02:35

Z all of the building.

02:37

Z Z all of the levels,

02:39

i.e. as an information exchange.

02:43

The spreadsheet contains information relating to the architectural model.

02:48

And 0001

02:50

click Create spreadsheet to complete the process.

02:53

You may receive an error,

02:54

as not all of the information has been set yet.

02:58

However,

02:58

ignore this for now and click Open File.

03:01

On each tab you'll see highly structured

03:04

and organized information about your project.

03:07

You haven't added much yet,

03:09

so most of it will be blank,

03:10

but you'll see information has been ordered as contact.

03:16

Facility

03:22

Floor

03:22

for you using revvet means level.

03:26

And space,

03:27

which Revit calls rooms.

03:29

so space.name is actually room number in RIt.

03:33

While various softwares all call levels in rooms different things,

03:37

KOI is a standard format,

03:40

so Revve exports level name as floor name.

03:47

And room number as space.name.

03:50

This way all of the softwares and the systems can collaborate,

03:55

export,

03:55

and import the information.

03:57

The client and their facilities management team can now use this information to

04:02

track assets and the maintenance of the door or boiler or other assets.
