Importing Points into your Revit Project

Here is the never-fail process...

  • Create a comma delineated TXT file:
    1. Get the point file from your surveyor
    2. Open your point file in excel
    3. Copy and paste only the columns for XYZ values into Word
    a. use past special – unformatted text (pastes only the text)
    4. Use find and replace to change the “tab’s” left from excel in to “Comma Space”
    a. Tab = ^t (see image below
    5. Copy and paste the contents of the word doc into a Txt file
    6. Use the txt file as your point file import
