Description

The project Revit Meows simplifies data extraction from Revit model in ACC using the Model Derivative API. Leveraging powerful Python libraries, it enables efficient visualization and analysis of Revit data. The api released long time but quite complex and hard to use, this is library to help you access with easier way.

Installation

pip install revit_meows --upgrade

Requirements

• Python 3.9+

• Setting Environment Variables, see Tutorial Create an App

APS_CLIENT_PKCE_ID=your_client_id
APS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
APS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Simple Usage

• Get All Categories

from revit_meows import APSRevit
from aps_toolkit import Auth

token = Auth().auth3leg()
urn = "<urn of item version>"
revit_meows = APSRevit(urn, token)
categories = revit_meows.get_all_categories()
print(categories)

• Export All Revit Data To CSV

from revit_meows import APSRevit
from aps_toolkit import Auth

token = Auth().auth3leg()
urn = "<urn of item version>"
revit_meows = APSRevit(urn, token, region="US")
df = revit_meows.get_all_data()
df.to_csv("revit_data.csv")

• Export All Data Include Boundingbox To CSV

from revit_meows import APSRevit
from aps_toolkit import Auth

token = Auth().auth3leg()
urn = "<urn of item version>"
revit_meows = APSRevit(urn, token, region="US")
df = revit_meows.get_all_data_bbox(project_id="<project_id>", 
                                   model_guid="<model_guid>", 
                                   is_field_param=False,
                                   is_include_category=True)
df.to_csv("revit_data_bbox.csv")

Q&A

How can I get URN input?

1. You can use aps-toolkit library to get URN of the item latest version.

from aps_toolkit import *

token = Auth().auth2leg()
bim360 = BIM360(token)
urn = bim360.get_latest_derivative_urn("<project_id>", "<folder_id>")

2. You can batch report urn to dataframe from BIM360 class in aps-toolkit library.

from aps_toolkit import BIM360
from aps_toolkit import Auth

token = Auth().auth3leg()
bim360 = BIM360(token)
df = bim360.batch_report_items("<project_id>", "<folder_id>", ['.rvt'], is_sub_folder=False)

What is Meows?

Oh, my girlfriend told me the cat is so cute, Meows is the sound of the cat. So, I named it.
