        Populate the Building Models and Elements activity center from Revit.

        Import any selected set of Revit elements (see below) and their parameters.

        Import data from Project Center to Revit:

        Create un-placed rooms or link existing rooms from the Spatial Index activity center or Microsoft Excel;

        Import sheets defined in the Document Control activity center;

        Import any building elements such as doors or family instances along with their parameters;

        Edit data in a spreadsheet and re-import it (synchronize).

        Link markup sessions, action items, and other Project Center items with Revit elements and enclosures (rooms, areas, and spaces).

Extended properties

        Extended properties apply to spaces, building elements, and record documents. They allow you to add new custom fields to these items on a per project basis.

Synchronization

        Using the Newforma Project Information Link, you can synchronize building elements, spaces, and sheets. You must set up exactly how each type of item synchronizes for each project.

        You can sync built-in properties such as name, number, keywords, or user-defined extended properties to or from Revit parameters.
