PREPARATION:

1. Dynamo Version 1.1.1.2140
2. Clockwork (Dynamo Package)
3. LunchBox (Dynamo Package)
4. Microsoft Excel 2013

WORKFLOW:
1. Try to extract those curves from Fill pattern. You can choose either one option as stated bellow;

Option 1. Select the Model Line and then Choose Pick Lines

Option 2. Export a 2D view to CAD format (DWG) and then Link CAD (DWG) file to Revit (my preferred option)

2. Once you have extracted those curves from Fill pattern using either one Option mentioned above. It’s time to launch Dynamo.

3. In Dynamo use the following “Select Model Elements” Node for select those curves mentioned at Step 1.
Note: The following graph only able to select Model Lines. For the Link CAD (DWG) file you have to extract those curves from Linked file. (If you don’t know how to extract those curves from Linked file you can leave comments at the comment section below / email: lingkonn@gmail.com)

4. Use “Select Model Element” Node for select floor/ wall which you want to extract Tiles quantity.

Room area Chart (Real time update)

PREPARATION:
Microsoft Excel 2013 and Dynamo Version 1.1.1.1841 or higher

WORKFLOW:
1. Launch Microsoft Excel 2013 and Create a Table similar to the following;

2. Create a chart similar to the following and then save the file;

3. Now Launch Dynamo and Place "Categories" and "All Elements of Category" Nodes and connect them. Both Nodes are located at under Selection Category of Revit Library.

4. Once you have placed the above nodes it's time to place "Element.GetParameterValueByName" for extract information. It's very important to set "Lacing" to "Cross Product" if you are extracting multiple parameter value.

5. Search for "String" Node and then Copy and Paste the following formula;

=[@Name]&" " &[@Number]&" @ "&[@Level] & " - "&ROUNDUP([@Area],2)&" m2"

6. Place "List.AddItemToEnd" node and connect them accordingly. Change Lacing to Longest for "List.AddItemToEnd" node.

7. You can skip this step. This is purpose of to sort by Level;

8. Export those data to Excel using "Excel.WriteToFile" node; That's all :)
