VIM Revit Batch

You can use the Vim.Revit.Batch.exe command line application to automate the conversion of a Revit project into a VIM file on your local machine.

Requirements

To successfully run Vim.Revit.Batch.exe, you will need to ensure the following requirements are met:

The desired versions of Revit are successfully installed on your machine.
The VIM Desktop Installer is successfully installed on your machine.
Contact us to obtain:
- A VIM .license file.
- A download link to Vim.Revit.Batch.*.zip.

Usage

Follow the instructions below to use Vim.Revit.Batch.exe:

Extract Vim.Revit.Batch.*.zip anywhere on your filesystem.
Install the VIM .license file on your machine.
In a PowerShell terminal session, navigate to the folder containing Vim.Revit.Batch.exe and run the following (line breaks added for clarity; example assumes a Revit 2024 input file)
```
.\Vim.Revit.Batch.exe
  -i "path\to\input\revit\file.rvt"
  -o "path\to\output\vim\file.vim"
  -l "path\to\output\log\file.log"
  -r "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2024\Revit.exe"
  -v "{3D}"
```
Options
- -i: the file path of the input Revit file.
- -o: the file path of the output VIM file.
- -l: the file path of the output log file.
- -r: the file path of the Revit.exe executable.
  - This must match the input file's Revit version.
  - If there is a version mismatch, the process will either fail or Revit will attempt to migrate the project to its current version.
- -v: the name of the 3D view to export. The contents of this view will be exported into the resulting VIM file.
For more options, run:
```
.\Vim.Revit.Batch.exe
```
