Worksharing Display List Summary

Good morning everyone

We are new to Dynamo for Revit. We are currently trying to get a system up for urgent projects. The idea is to use Revit Worksharing Display mode and create a simple but clear list summary of specific owners of elements as well as model updates.

Normally in Revit what you would do is:

click on the Worksharing Display on the bottom back
select “Owners”
hover mouse over elements which would display:

  • Created by + name
  • Last updated by + name

The goal is to have a simple summary of a daily progress from each specialist (work done for the day). For example, by selecting a group of elements, and running the Dynamo, would produce a list of who created what, and who was the last one to update it.

We really need a good place to start and get into Dynamo, or a basic Dynamo setup as a foundation.

we go somewhere using the Get Worksharing Tooltip Info node from the archi-lab package.

the list currently give of users who created, and last edited the elements

is there a way to sort and count each unique instance in these list? The idea is to have an output of how many elements one person worked on. I used the Group by Key to get the unique instances (the different users) for one list.

The target now is to be able to sort this list using this unique keys, so that we categorize the list by this filter, and we can have a count for each occurrence for each filter

a followup goal is to possibly have a printable output such as a graph or excel, using these extracted data.

You can try this
export all data to excel and make a pivot table

thank you for the quick reply… yes that is the idea. Am still actually very new to Dynamo and only started it yesterday. Still trying to get the hang of it and exploring all the functions and nodes.

How do you export to excel? Ideally we want our analysts to have access to the Dynamo, open it with the specific Revit model, and with a simple click of run, have Dynamo give them a graph output

this is currently where we stand now. In the group, there is the list of unique elements (these are the different users who last changed the elements) and the counter of how many instances they appeared in (which is the number of elements they worked on)
