SpaceTracker

A prototypical implementation to extract feature graphs from Revit models.

Tracks the changes in a Revit project and saves the general structure of it in a relational SQLite-Database and a graph-based Neo4j-Database to illustrate differences between those two types of DBs.

Requirements

• Revit 2022
• RevitAPI 2022 Development Environment
• Sqlite3
• Neo4j

Installation

1. Fork & clone the repo
2. add the SpaceTracker/SpaceTracker.addin file to the addins folder located at C:\Users\$USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2022
3. Make sure Revit.exe is set as an external program in the debug menu in Visual Studio (Poject --> Properties --> Debug)
4. Create a local SQlite DB: C:\sqlite_tmp\RoomWallWindow_sample.db with the necessary tables
5. Create a local neo4j DB with credentials neo4j and password
6. Run, and an instance of Revit will open automatically
