Automate Your BIM Data Validation Workflow
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your BIM data validation process with this n8n workflow. Automatically check your Revit project files against predefined Excel-based rules to ensure compliance and data integrity.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the critical task of validating BIM data within your Revit projects. It leverages the power of n8n to connect different components, starting with defining essential file paths for your converter and project files. The workflow then reads your specified validation rules from an Excel file and merges this information with your project data. Finally, a Python script performs the core validation, comparing your project data against the defined rules and providing clear, actionable feedback. This significantly reduces manual effort, improves accuracy, and ensures your BIM models meet required standards.
Key Features
- Automated File Path Configuration: Easily set paths for your converter and project files.
- Configurable Validation Rules: Define your validation criteria in a user-friendly Excel spreadsheet.
- Intelligent Data Comparison: Compares project data against rules to identify discrepancies.
- Error Highlighting: Visually highlights inconsistencies in the output.
- Extensible Python Script: Built with Python for powerful and customizable validation logic.
