Automate Wall Volume Reports from Revit to HTML

# Wall volume analysis from Revit and HTML report generation

This automation template extracts wall data from Revit projects and generates a styled HTML report with volume summaries — no manual CAD work required. Built as an ETL pipeline in n8n, it’s manually triggered and ideal for engineers and construction teams needing fast, reliable material estimates.

## Who it´s for
- BIM and civil engineers working with Revit who need quick volume analysis
- Construction companies automating material reporting
- Project managers requiring transparent, quantifiable summaries

## What the automation does
- Extracts data from a Revit (.rvt) file using an external converter to Excel
- Parses the spreadsheet and filters elements by type (OST_Walls)
- Groups walls by type and sums their volumes
- Generates a styled HTML report with statistics and visual progress bars
- Saves the output locally on disk
- Triggered manually on demand

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow (ETL pipeline)
- Trigger and handler logic
- Integrations with Revit (via file export), Excel, and local file system
- Basic text instructions for launch and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- File system access with a working Revit-to-Excel converter
- A Revit project file (.rvt) for processing
- An operational n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
- Read/write permissions in designated directories

## Benefits and outcomes
- Saves time on manual data extraction from Revit
- Standardized, visually appealing reports for presentations and approvals
- Reusable across multiple construction projects
- Transparent data for material calculations and cost estimation
- Automatic grouping and aggregation of wall types and volumes
- Eliminates manual spreadsheets and reduces human error
