Connecting Revit to Power BI : An Introduction to Visualizing Model Data

Grab your favorite cocktail and join me for another episode of "BIM After Dark. Live". This week I am going to cover a topic that has been in high demand: Revit & Power BI.

We spend so much time modeling, making documents, and making pretty pictures we tend to forget about the "I" in BIM. The information. In this live session I am going to show you some simple ways you can start visualizing the data in your models with Power BI.

I'll give you the power of data visualization... What you do with it, is up to you!
