Settings - Attributes

ART Task Name

The Attributes dialog box gives you the ability to select other type and instance parameters from families to be exported to the Attribute worksheet in the COBie spreadsheet. The organization is shown above, but it includes all the Revit family categories as the top level, followed by “Type Parameters” and “Instance Parameters” as the second level, and all the pertinent parameters for each as the third level. This list will include all the parameters of the current model – both Revit standard parameters and those added to the model (project and shared). This includes the parameters from linked models when selected.

Note: Do NOT simply select every parameter to add to the attributes list. This can quickly cause issues with the spreadsheet export as you have too many items for export. Be deliberate and specific about what data you want to include in your COBie spreadsheet.

Once you have your settings configured properly, use the save button in the action bar to save your settings. If you are done setting up your model for the COBie Extension, you can use Save and Close to update settings and close this dialog.
