I have a separate analysis website that merges pricing data with a BIM model. We have a 3D viewer but I would like to link individual sheet views to corresponding data. It would be great if I could zoom in on a specific tag, but just a reference to a view of even a sheet would work. How can I access this data, preferably with grasshopper so I can create a simple script.
The end result would be a table or list of key. Alive pairs that lists out pricing id’s ( stored as parameters in each Revit element) a Revit view, and the url that corresponds to the same view in a published or to be published Bim 360 Doc.
Hi Benjamin, I changed the category of your post from Windows to Rhino.Inside - Revit.
If i understand correctly you are looking to link a view output (pdf) to data on a website. I’ve seen this done via links in a Rhino3dm js viewer, where you rotate the model and then click to see views and data associated with particular elements.
I already have something similar with the speckle PowerBi viewer. I’m looking for a way to generate links to portions in a PDF doc or BIM 360 project. The use case would be a user viewing data in PowerBi, inspecting an element in 3D but then wanting to see the corresponding construction documents for that element in 2D. Is there a way to create and access hyperlinks when publishing a PDF?
Adjacent to this topic is a discussion of how 2D BIM data is represented. There are a couple of different products out there in the Autodesk ecosystem and I’m doing research into what actually can produce a structured 2D view of BIM information. I don’t think it exists. Everything is converted to PDF.
Autodesk Viewer just provides a simple PDF with no links or object metadata.
Plangrid provide a PDF with links between views but no metadata
Forge can create a 2D view of a 3D object, but there is no way to view a construction document, ie a set of individual views arranged on a sheet with architectural graphics, that has live links between views and access to individual objects and their metadata. You should be able to hover over an object on a construction sheet and see metadata just as you would in 3D
