If you have already got a comma delimited .csv file that you use to establish your Project Sheet List then you can now import that CSV file into the Xporter Pro main data grid.

This way you can quickly pad out your preliminary Project Sheet Set using Xporter Pro and then synchronize back to your current Revit Project.

In order to do this click the Import Sheets button from the Revit RTVTools Ribbon as shown below.

You will then see the Import Sheets dialog box appear requiring a 3-step process for the import.


Firstly define the CSV file to be used for Sheet creation then click the Next button to proceed with step 2.
