I have using Revit with datasmith. When I import a model it only brings in 11 rows of meta data and doesn’t bring in custom metadata. Is their any way to control or choose what metadata comes into UE. i have some custom parameters in Revit which I want in UE

Hi DanDeery !
As explained in our docs here :
You can change what metadata gets exported in the plugin settings :
Click on Add Group to add a new category of metadata
Hope this helps !
Cheers,

Thank you for your quick response
This is not working for me. I’m attempting to export new groups that contain text parameter fields so that I can use Dataprep to merge meshes based on Revit text. The new project parameters in Revit simply do not show up in the metadata list in Dataprep.
I figured out the problem…
When I started this process my revit file already contained the groups I needed to export.
When I created the new parameters in Revit, I then went into the group edit mode to assign new parameter values to the new parameter field I created. I then closed the edit mode, and exported, but the new parameter field didnt translate to new metadata field in Unreal.
The solution was to explode one of the groups, assign values to the parameter field and re-export. It’s as if the datasmith exporter didnt recognize the parameter until it was assigned to UNGROUPED elements at the time of export.
