Add From File

The Add From File interface lets you select and configure data from an Excel file for seamless integration into Revit. It provides options to choose a file, specify the worksheet and region, and customize the resulting view settings, all within a single window.

Excel File Selection

Start by selecting the Excel file that contains the data you want to use. The selected file’s path will be displayed at the top of the interface for reference.

Worksheet and Region Selection

• Worksheet: Choose the worksheet from the dropdown menu. Only the data from the selected sheet will be included.

• Region: Define the area within the worksheet to use. You can either:

  • Select a predefined named worksheet region stored in excel.

  • Manually highlight cells in the Preview Panel by dragging over the desired range (*Custom Range).

Preview Panel

The preview panel provides a visual representation of the selected worksheet and highlights any defined regions or manually selected cell ranges.

View Configuration

Customize how the imported data will appear in Revit:

• View Name: Define the name of the view that will display the data in Revit.

• View Type: Choose from Legend, Schedule, or Drafting View to control how the data is integrated into your project.

• View Scale: Adjust the scale of the view to fit your project's requirements.

• Font: Select the font style for the table:

  • Use Revit’s font library.

  • Or retain the font style applied to the clipboard data (from Excel).

Action Buttons

• OK: Confirms your settings and adds the entry to the main interface.

• Cancel: Closes the window without saving any changes.
