Excel2DWG for Revit overcomes the limits and problems associated with placement of Excel spreadsheets inside Revit. It creates and maintains DWG/DXF files of named ranges in Excel that are linked in Revit. The results are lines, fills and mtext that can plot without problems and are highly portable to others.
Smart Linking & Updating
The system works by maintaining up-to-date DWG/DXF files of named ranges in Excel spreadsheets. These DWG/DXF files are then linked in Revit. As any Excel user (with our add-in installed) makes changes to the spreadsheet, the DWG/DXF files are updated on saving/closing the spreadsheet. Therefore the next time a Revit project is opened, it will automatically update to reflect the changes made in Excel.
Processing Speed
When the Excel user makes changes and closes the spreadsheet, the DXF is quickly updated. Our fast Excel read engine means most sheet sized tables process in a fraction of a second!
Optimized Results
We understand that you want to keep your drawing size small and regens fast. That's why we optimize the geometry we create. If the same lineweight is used across the entire row, we create one line, not one for each cell. We also merge adjacent fills and hatches resulting in the smallest block possible.
Stop jumping through hoops!
Currently there are no good options for placing spreadsheets in Revit. Processes involving converting the spreadsheet to an image leads to grainy output. Processes requiring AutoCAD take extra time and are still subject to its limitations. Our product will speed up the process during creation and maintain current representations of the spreadsheet.

Description
|
| Interface Options: |
The application is controlled (in Excel 2007 or higher) by it's own ribbon tab making it easy to select and execute the application. On Excel 2000-2003 it has it's own separate toolbar with icons. |
| Create New Tables: |
Simply highlight the desired area in your spreadsheet, then launch our Add Range creation tool. It creates a named range that will be processed each time the spreadsheet is saved and closed. |
| Output Settings: |
This dialog controls all the defaults for newly created spreadsheet references. Includes setting for overrides, factors and other options. By default all output files go to the same folder as the spreadsheet. You can also designate a single folder for the DXF files. |
| Place & Link: |
In Revit you can simply place the results or better yet they can be linked. |
Licensing
The program resides exclusively inside Excel and all the work is done from that application. Therefore you need an Excel2DWG license for each Excel seat that will be involved in editing spreadsheets that Revit users need to reference. Site licenses are available for large groups.
System Requirements: Requires Excel 2000 or higher.
