CAD2DATA: Batch Converter (Revit/IFC/DWG/DGN → XLSX/DAE) Batch-convert CAD/BIM files to analysis-ready XLSX and optional DAE with automatic verification and a clean HTML report. Runs locally via RvtExporter.exe and PowerShell on Windows. Supports configurable export modes — basic (309 categories), standard (724), and complete (~1209) — plus optional outputs such as bounding boxes, Revit schedules, and PDF drawings. What it does Scans a source folder (optionally including subfolders) for .rvt, .ifc, .dwg, or .dgn. For each file, runs: RvtExporter.exe [input] [output.xlsx] [output.dae] [options]. Verifies outputs (existence + size) and aggregates results. Generates a summary HTML report and opens it automatically on completion. Converter options Export modes:** basic | standard | complete | custom Flags:** bbox (BoundingBox to XLSX), schedule (Revit schedules), sheets2pdf (Sheets → PDF) Disable:** -no-xlsx, -no-collada Custom files:** [<output file>] and [<category file>] (used with custom) Examples basic bbox — minimal export + BoundingBox complete schedule sheets2pdf — full export + schedules + PDFs standard -no-collada — XLSX only (skip DAE) Prerequisites Windows** host (PowerShell + local executable). DDC Revit toolkit installed: C:\DDC_Converter_Revit\datadrivenlibs\RvtExporter.exe Read access to the source folder and write access to the output folder. How to use Import this JSON workflow into n8n. Open Set Configuration Parameters and set: converter_path: C:\DDC_Converter_Revit\datadrivenlibs\RvtExporter.exe source_folder: folder with your projects output_folder: folder for results include_subfolders: true / false file_extension: .rvt | .ifc | .dwg | .dgn options: see Converter options Run Manual Trigger. The workflow discovers files → runs conversions → verifies outputs → writes and opens the HTML report. Outputs *_ext.xlsx — tabular data per input file. *_ext.dae — lightweight 3D (if not disabled with -no-collada). CAD_Conversion_Report_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.html — summary with: success rate and progress per-file and total processing time input/output sizes and file paths Notes & tips Uses PowerShell Get-ChildItem for discovery and cmd /c start to open the report. With -no-collada, success/verification is XLSX-only (DAE is skipped). Prefer ASCII paths and ensure write permissions in the output folder.
