Paracore's Structured Output (Table)
The Analytics Tab serves as your BIM Data Inspection hub, allowing you to manipulate and audit Revit model data with ease.
1. Inspection First
The primary role of the table is Inspection. Paracore can draw any Revit element property into a structured list for comparison.
- Shorthand Magic: Using helpers like
GetElements<T>().Table()makes element inspection instantaneous. - Multi-Element Context: Compare Level, Area, Phase, and Categories across thousands of elements at a glance.
2. Data Manipulation
Sorting and filtering the table allows you to isolate specific datasets and see complex relationships—such as Rooms and their corresponding Areas—without leaving the inspection view.
3. Bidirectional Editing
While inspection is the priority, the table also supports updating data back to Revit.
- Single-Cell Updates: Correct specific parameters (like a Mark or Comment) directly in the grid.
- Mass Edit via CSV: For massive changes, export the table to CSV, manipulate the data in Excel, and batch import the updates back into Revit.
4. Performance
The table is powered by a high-performance Virtualized Engine, capable of managing audit lists exceeding 10,000 rows with zero UI lag.
