Revit does not yet make a direct connection with the database. From Revit,
perform an ODBC ex****t, then open the database file.
If you go to the Help pulldown in Revit, then to Revit Help (or hit the F1
key) then type "odbc" in the index keyword box, you will get information
about this. Heres a piece:
"You can ex****t model component data to an ODBC database. That data can
include project parameters that have been assigned to one or more element
categories in the project. For each element category, Autodesk Revit
ex****ts
a database table for model types and another for model instances. For
example, Autodesk Revit creates a table listing all door types and another
table listing all door instances.
ODBC ex****t creates specific relation****ps between tables in the database.
Using ODBC, Autodesk Revit creates tables for the following elements:
a.. Model Objects: Types and Instances
a.. Levels and Rooms: Instances only
b.. Key Schedules
a.. Assembly Codes: A single table containing assembly code data for the
entire project.
Autodesk Revit can ex****t to the same database multiple times. When
ex****ting to an empty database, Autodesk Revit creates new tables. When
you
ex****t a project to a populated database, Autodesk Revit updates table
information to match the project. This allows you to customize the
database
and re-ex****t data as the project changes.
Note: Do not ex****t different projects to the same database. Use a unique
database for each project.
Note: ODBC is a general ex****t tool that works in conjunction with many
software drivers. If you need assistance with a particular software
driver,
contact your local IT department or Autodesk Revit Client Sup****t."
