1️⃣ Start Excel Sync
- Open the BIMIL tab in Revit and click [Excel Sync].
2️⃣ Choose one of the three tabs at the top to define your target category:
- In the main window, choose what kind of data you want to work with. There are three tabs available: • Model – for physical model elements • Annotation – for tags, dimensions, and text • Analytical Model – for structural analysis elements
Select the desired tab and check the categories or individual elements you want to edit.
3️⃣ Select Target Elements:
Choose how to gather elements:
All : All elements in the model
Active View: Only elements visible in the current view
Selected Elements: Only elements you’ve pre-selected in the model
4️⃣ Select Parameters
Choose which parameters to modify: - From the left panel, select parameters and move them to the right “Selected Parameters” panel using the [▶] button.
- Parameter icons:
Instance: Values vary by individual element.
Type: Shared values across elements of the same type.
Read-Only: Cannot be modified.
These labels help you quickly identify which parameters can be edited.
5️⃣ Choose Export or Edit
After selecting elements and parameters:
➀ Export : Exports the selected parameter values to an Excel file. The file will open automatically.
➁ Edit : Opens a spreadsheet-style interface directly in Revit for fast, in-app editing.
