Frequently asked questions about BVX Exporter

Can I change the PART# assigned to parts in BVX?

There is no way for the user to assign the Part# attribute value manually to specific parts in BVX.

The attribute is meant to be used to sort the Parts in a particular order inside the BVX file. By default, the software uses Revit's internal element ID of framing elements as well as the host element to perform this sorting, and if all required information is present, the numbering should start at 00001 and then increment by 1 for all consecutive parts.

Revit Internal Element ID	Part#
662412	00001
663516	00002
663621	00003

You can, however, change how the software does the sorting by choosing any other of the available parameters for the "Order Framing Elements by" option in the Export Settings tab:

If the software finds missing designated parameter values, Revit's internal element ID will be used instead for those model elements.
