How it works

Supported file types

The package enables you to process three types of Revit-related files:

• Journals
• KeyboardShortcuts files
• Worksharing logs

Basic mechanics

• All nodes are coded in Python and are structured in classes (documented here).
• There is one Create type node for each of the above file types that builds a queriable object from the data contained in the file. (Typical graphs therefore start with creating such an object from a file)
• Any nodes that retrieve object attributes are classified as Query nodes.
• Any nodes that call methods defined in the respective object are classified as Actions nodes (even though those methods usually do not alter the object and simply perform a query of their own).
• All nodes are designed to operate on singletons as well as 1D lists. For anything else use Dynamo's List@Level functionality.

Journals

• Constructor: Journal.ByPath node

Relevant classes:

• Journal
  • JournalLine (and its subclasses)
  • LoadedAssembly
  • LoadedModel
    • LoadedModelEvent
  • RecordedException

Journal blocks

• Journals are structured into blocks.
• Each block starts with a JournalTimeStamp (except block 0).
• Each JournalLine knows its block.

Journal line types

• JournalLines are further classified into different types.
• Each type is represented by a separate subclass.
• See JournalLine types for more details.

KeyboardShortcuts files

• Constructor: KeyboardShortcuts.ByPath node

Relevant classes:

• KeyboardShortcuts
  • KeyboardShortcutCommand

Worksharing logs

• Constructor: WorksharingLog.ByPath node

Relevant classes:

• WorksharingLog
  • WorksharingSession
    • WorksharingEvent
    • SyncEvent
    • LoadedLink
