SIMPLE DATA RETRIEVAL PROCESS

 CAD (BIM) DATABASE IN XLSX 

ChatGPT and AI in working with CAD data (BIM)

OPTIONS FOR USING THE CONVERTER

Streaming file processing and embedding the conversion process in the code

To extract data from CAD (BIM), the simplest tool is the DDC UI converter.

Start the conversion for CAD (BIM) projects by specifying a folder 📁 with one or several projects. There's also an option to include files from subfolders 📂.

Click the "Start" button 🔘 to begin conversion. The results, Excel files 📊 with complete CAD (BIM) file information, will be available in the specified folder.

The DDC terminal-based converter quickly extracts data from CAD (BIM) with minimal code.

To initiate the conversion in any folder, open Command Prompt or Power Shell 🖥️, and simply enter the path of the folder containing the DDC converter, followed by the path of the file to be converted 📂🔄.

# CMD or PowerShell
> C:\\DDCRvtExporter.exe  C:\\Example.rvt

DDC Bulk Conversion

🔄 For handling large datasets simultaneously and automated processing

Enables conversion and management of substantial data volumes or integration of 💻🔗 the conversion process into workflow and data processing logic 

import os, subprocess, pandas as pd, time
# Folder where Revit exporter is located
path_conv = r"D:\DDC Converter Revit Community\datadrivenlibs"
# The adress of the Revit file on computer
file_path = r"D:\RVT_projects\2022 rstadvancedsampleproject.rvt"

# Convert a Revit project to an open fotmat
process = subprocess.Popen([os.path.join(path_conv, "RvtExporter.exe"), file_path], cwd = path_conv)
process.wait() # waiting for process to be completed

USE CAD (BIM) DATA IN A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

Popular tools with large communities

Microsoft Excel

A leading spreadsheet software that allows you to open, edit, and analyze XLSX files. It offers extensive features for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization.

ChatGPT with Python Integration

This setup allows ChatGPT to use Python libraries like Pandas for handling XLSX files. Users can interact with and manipulate data in XLSX format through conversational commands, making it user-friendly for data analysis and visualization tasks.

Power BI (Microsoft)

This business analytics tool not only imports XLSX files but also enables users to transform and model their data, creating interactive dashboards and reports that can be shared across an organization for insightful decision-making

Jupyter Notebooks

An open-source web application that supports data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, and more. It can work with XLSX files through Python libraries like Pandas

Pandas (Python Library)

A powerful data analysis and manipulation library for Python. Pandas can read and write DataFrames to and from XLSX files using its read_excel and to_excel functions.

Kaggle cloud-based work environment

 It allows users to write and execute Python code, and it supports various Python libraries, including Pandas, for reading and writing XLSX files. Kaggle is widely used for data analysis and modeling, and it's an excellent platform for collaborative projects and learning from a community of data scientists.

 

TRANSLATION OF CAD (BIM) DATA
INTO A STRUCTURED FORM

 

Project data stored in closed CAD (BIM) databases, more specifically, the attributes of creature volumes and their geometric representation, accumulated over weeks, months and even years are eventually converted into complex parametric or closed CAD (BIM) formats.

Proprietary CAD (BIM) database formats are closed and protected and quality access to data in such databases was provided only through specialized programs from CAD (BIM) vendors or through additional API layers that provide limited access to CAD (BIM) database programs.
With the development of reverse engineering technologies and the advent of software development kits (SDKs), the availability and conversion of data from closed CAD (BIM) program formats has become much easier.

Reverse engineering tools allow legitimate and efficient conversion of data from closed proprietary formats to structured formats, breaking down infor-mation from a mixed CAD (BIM) format into the types of data and formats that the user needs, facilitating their processing and analysis. This allows practitioners to move away from mixed format processing of CAD (BIM) models, which focuses on working with data in specialised software, to a data-centric approach, which focuses primarily on open data.

Converting data from closed, proprietary formats to more accessible formats greatly simplifies the process of working with that data, making it more accessible for analysis, modification, and integration with other systems.

In modern work with CAD (BIM) data, we have reached a stage where it is not necessary to request permission from CAD (BIM) vendors to access the data.
