Export grid with values to Revit

Hello,

I am approaching a project, where I should optimize office space based on the daylight in Revit. I did the daylight simulation in Honeybee (Grasshopper). I used the Rhino.Inside Revit plugin to work on Revit’s geometry and to send the daylight simulation results (a mesh) to Revit. The mesh shows only the area that passes the requirements according to the EN17037 standard.
Since I would like to test Dynamo for the optimization, I would need to export to Revit Daylight Autonomy (DA) values related to the analysis grid (mesh).

I would like to ask you for some advice on how I could link the DA values to the mesh in Revit and export them to Revit. When I export the mesh now, I can send a single face of the mesh, so I guess, I should add a parameter to the face with a DA value. Is it a correct approach?

Could you support me with some tips/advice?

Many thanks!
Have a nice day!

Similar to this?

The values and mesh are in Rhino/GH now? Can you post or send a file? Thanks.

Hi Japhy,

I think this apprach should work for me. I will try it and I will share results:)

Thank you very much!

Hi Japhy,

my mesh and values are only in GH. Mesh and values are generated from the Daylight simulation of Honeybee. I would like to send this mesh with values to the Revit without baking the geometry and creating Attributes in Rhino. Do you think it is possible or do I always have to first set it up in Rhino?

I created this script to send the parameter to Revit (DA values). It appears in Revit, but no value is associated with points…
I think I’m missing a step when I link points’ IDs with values…

May I ask you for your feedback?

Best regards,

Hi Julia,

That looks like it should work, assuming that the DirectShapes are the Elements going into the Element Parameter.

Can you post a .gh file with the point and data internalized (add point component, right click internalize)

Ok, I found the problem.
The Geometry Direct Shape was connected to the Element Parameter. When I disconnected it and I connected PointDirect Shape to Element Parameter, it worked. My mistake was that I used twice the direct shape element. I was enough to use Point Direct Shape:)

Many thanks:)

Best regards,

Julia
