Hello all
Trying to ease our process into our collaboration with Civil 3D users and Revit by working with Revit.
Since our Civil 3D users are exporting each network per 1 IFC files, this can get teadious when linking an IFC file in Revit.
Now I managed to write a little python script code and i’m not quite sure how to work with the IFCImportOptions class
But hey, i’m here to learn so i’m reaching out for guidance here 
Here’s my code :
import clr
import System
import os
# Import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPIIFC')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.IFC import *
# Import RevitServices
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
# The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variable.
dataEnteringNode = IN
# Input directory path
directory_path = IN[0]
# Get the current Revit document
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
# Get all IFC files in the directory
ifc_files = [f for f in os.listdir(directory_path) if f.endswith('.ifc')]
# Initialize the list to store results
imported_files = []
# Start a transaction to import IFC files
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for ifc_file in ifc_files:
ifc_path = os.path.join(directory_path, ifc_file)
try:
# Create IFC import options
options = IFCImportOptions()
# Import the IFC file
result = doc.Import(ifc_path, options)
imported_files.append(result)
except Exception as e:
# Append error message in case of failure
imported_files.append(str(e))
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
# Output the result
OUT = imported_files
I think this may be a big learning curve for me right now but, am i going in the right direction with this approach ?
