ricaun.Revit.FileInfo

ricaun.Revit.FileInfo library allows to check the version of an Autodesk Revit file (.rvt, .rfa, .rte, .rft) without opening.

PackageReference

<PackageReference Include="ricaun.Revit.FileInfo" Version="*" />

Example

using ricaun.Revit.FileInfo;

RevitVersion revitVersion = RevitFileInfo.GetRevitVersion(filePath);

or

RevitFileInfo revitFileInfo = new RevitFileInfo(filePath);
bool isValid = revitFileInfo.IsValid;
RevitVersion revitVersion = revitFileInfo.Version;

RevitFileInfo

• IsValid: Check if the file is a valid Revit file extension. (.rvt, .rfa, .rte, .rft)
• Version: Get the RevitVersion of the file. RevitVersion is an int with the default value zero or RevitVersion.Unknown.

BasicFileInfo

To find the version of the Revit file the BasicFileInfoUtils is used, and a regex is used to find the version in te Revit Build: or Format: info.

• Revit 2018 and below: Revit Build: Autodesk Revit 2018 (Build: 20170106_1515(x64)).
• Revit 2019 and above: Format: 2019.

A Unit test is used to check if the regex is working correctly between the different Revit file versions (2014-2024).
