Hi guys,
as usual the issues I am experiencing with Rhino.Inside are might due to my inexperience in Revit.
I am modelling a sweep in rhino input it as brep and use ( i think ) the standar procedure to import the directspahe into revit. I am able to see the red GH preview (in Revit as well) but not the actual geometry in Revit. All looks correct, I am sure I am missing something very basic, but I have no clue. I think I used all the right components in gh, here a screenshot_:
It appears to have been generated. Scale is a possibility, try selecting via this method or By Element ID (in the Manage Tab in revit) the id of your Element being 1336231
DirectShapes are Model-In-Place Elements, in this instance on the generic model category.
Thatās looks like a complex geometry, perhaps convert the arcs to straight lines and see if that brings something in, or just a straight run vs corners ā in an effort to eliminate possibilities.
all right, I actaully managed to find the element, which was indeed selectable with its ID.
you were almost there, except if for some reason the element was just shifted on Z axisā¦the strange thing was that it was shifted of exactly 23,3m which left me thing to some sort of errorā¦
I thought it might have been becuse the geometry I am sending to the revit is not laying totally flat on one planeā¦But i have no idea.
I will keep modelling other element and let you know if I find the reason why it makes this shift
I think that is the problem. Also the geoemtry should be constructed on an existing building which is modelled using model-in-place as well, so the sweep line i am using is not flat.
sure! do the brep in gh is enough or do you need as well the revit file, i guess? can I get an email address please?
Hi All- I had the same problem. It was touched on above, but wanted to clarify for anyone just arriving to the thread- the brep you are sending to Revit āarrivesā in Revit as a new construction element. So like me, if youāre beginning your project modeling existing conditions on a renovation project, make sure to create a new construction plan view, in addition to your demo view. Go to the new construction view, select it, and set to existing. It will now of course be in your demo plan.
McNeel- thank you for continuing to hone this fantastic product. Is there a way to change this, i.e. to control what phase the element is first set to when it appears in Revit?
We are introducing āElement Phaseā component in v1.2 to allow you to adjust the Creation and Demolition phase right after the component is created.
A complementary solution may be to create all the elements using the last Phase on the document by default instead of the Phase selected on the active view that may be arbitrary.
What do you think?
You can switch to āDaily Buildsā channel from the Options dialog and test āElement Phaseā now if you like.
That sounds great. It would be nice to be able to switch the phase back and forth as demolished walls, doors etc often come back into scope during value engineering.
Thank you for the fast response. I will try the Daily Builds channel.
