Scheduled exports

Technical name: tavole_pianificazioni

Sheets › Schedule

Reads

Lists the model's scheduled exports, with repetition, content, next and last run and result.

What it does

Reads the scheduled exports of the active model and lists them. For each one it reports:

  • id and name;
  • whether it is on or off;
  • start date and time and repetition (once, weekly with the days, monthly with the day), for example "Weekly: Mon, Fri at 20:00";
  • what it exports: the saved selection or the fixed sheets and views (up to 100 in the list);
  • whether it exports only sheets and views that are new or whose revision changed;
  • the next run (only when on), the last run and its result.

It also gives the export preset file where they are saved. It changes nothing.

How it works

  1. Your AI asks BIMit for the schedules of the open model.
  2. BIMit reads the export preset linked to the model and works out the next run of every active schedule.
  3. You see the list in your AI's answer; the id or name is then used to manage a schedule.

Example requests

  • "Which exports are scheduled on this model?"
  • "When does the next automatic export run, and how did the last one go?"
  • "List the schedules that are turned off."

What changes and how to undo

Nothing: the tool only reads and changes neither the model nor any file. In any case, every change to the model can be undone with Ctrl+Z in Revit.

Limits

Schedules run by themselves only while Revit is open with the model; formats and settings are the model's at the time of the run. If no export preset is linked to the model, the list is empty.

Parameters

No parameters.
