Exploring scripting capability in Revit: Using journal file and batch script

작성자: -
I am currently exploring and teaching myself the Revit Journal script and the Batch script.

After spending somewhat 3 hours digging in, I was able to clean out the journal file and made sample code below for opening Revit file from journal script(.txt format) and changing color visualization of structural column.

One thing not sure: without the first line of the script, which is commented out with ' symbol, the revit wouldn't open the designated .rvt file. I don't know why this happens yet.

Project Owl: Video is up!

I have spent some time recently to revisit my old works and made a video out of it for the documentation. This video shows how the Grasshopper component I developed in 2015 called Project Owl works. It generates 3D point cloud in Rhinoceros using Microsoft Kinect V2. The purpose of this development was to create a minimalistic component that only creates point cloud, and no more than that. Hope you have fun watching the video. [Article has been copied from hojoongchung.wordpress.com. The original article has been written on Mar 2, 2018, 8:28 PM]

Where to find Revit Journal files?

Revit journal file can be considered as a programmatic log that Revit records during the runtime. It records almost all histories including the user's interaction with the software like clicking. It is useful to automate certain processes from outside the Revit environment, unlike API or macros. However, where do you find the journal file? Here it is: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2017\Journals When you go to the folder path as above, you will find files something like below: Revit Journal Files Try drag and drop this text file on the Revit shortcut icon. Something fun will happen immediately! Have a look at the official webpage from Autodesk as well! [This article has been copied from hojoongchung.wordpress.com.
