Batch Creation of Project Directory Structure on BIM 360 Docs

I’m looking into ways to batch initialize Revit models onto the new BIM 360 Docs (Document Management) platform. It is a work in progress at the moment – in Revit 2018, I think that there is limited ability to use newer API features for creating a Cloud ModelPath for batch processing. But more on that later…

For now, I wanted to replicate a folder structure from a local network onto the BIM 360 Docs platform. To do this, you just need the Desktop Connector + Preview installed, and then you copy and paste the data.

Here are the steps:

Clear Pending Actions on Desktop Connector for BIM 360 (recommended, use with care)
Work Offline (recommended). Folders will appear blue in Windows Explorer.
Set the folder path in the and create a CMD script using code below. It populates each subdirectory with a text file indicating the contents of the directory.
```
@echo off
chcp 65001 >nul
for /r "C:YourFolderPathHere" %%d in (.) do dir /a:-d "%%~fd" >...
```
