Batch Export
Export many Autodesk® Revit™ models to Rhino® in one go
Batch Export converts several Revit files into Rhino .3dm files, one per model. It opens each file, exports the chosen categories and closes it again. You don't need to open the models yourself.
Start a batch
Use either way:
Click RAY with no document open.
Click RAY in any project and choose Batch Export.
Pick the .rvt files in the file dialog.
Set up the batch
Destination Folder
Where the .3dm files are saved. It starts at the current .beam directory. Click ... to change it.
Files to Export
The Revit files. Click + to add more, or the delete icon to remove one.
Categories
The model categories to export. All are ticked by default.
Include Design Options as Rhino Layers
Also export elements in primary design options, on their own layers. See Layer Mapping.
Export Rooms
Also export rooms, on a Rooms layer.
Location
Internal Origin, Project Base Point or Shared Coordinates. With shared coordinates, each model uses its active location.
Click BEAM to start.
Progress
A progress window shows the file being exported and the overall progress. Click Cancel to stop after the current step.
Each output file is named after its Revit file, for example Tower_A.3dm.
Results
When the batch ends, RAY - Batch Export Results lists every file with its status, output path, number of exported and failed elements, time and any error.
Click Open Folder to see the files. Open them in Rhino, or import them with RAY for Rhino.
Models are opened detached, with all worksets closed. In a workshared model, elements on closed worksets are not exported.
