sending and receiving Revit-Data, without sending a project could be very interesting.
-
Objective:I have created a small project file with some elements in it. those elements are wallbased and not wallbased.
sending is all fine. looks good, online and in Blender. I can use it for creating animations in Blender.
now is where I am struggling to understand, is that behavior normal or not.
I used to open a new project in Revit and tried to receive the data.
i got a Message asking for missing types and if they should be replaced. or ignored.
Issues:
-
I in the next window, I cant see, how many Items and types are not assigned correct by name. this should be a easy challange. highlight the ones, where the “incomming type” and the “AssignedTo” is not the same.
-
its not clear, how many categories are there, think, it is more easy to get a full list and not sorted by category. I havent seen the posibility to change the selected category for few times.
-
“Import Types” I have used to import missing types of Revit -Families. it does not appear when searching based on the name. same time I can see in the Revit Projectbrowser, that families are imported in the project.
-
this list could be reorganised by assigned or not.
-
after assigning a type, I would like to have a different colour to get more control. or a checkbox for same namings or manual assigend ?
-
just one another Idea : might be possible to direct the “Add-In” to a folder where families are stored and that tool could pick those missing and request to load?
-
walls - not a loadable Family, is there a way to load those from a project? maybe little bit more complicated to include that function
-
I could not cancel the receiving process after I was aware that imported families are not visible for assigning.
-
next try, the window for assigning again is missing, not appearing again. maybe I would like to replace something different, “Update” should be the way to see the assigning window again.
-
who was on the colours, but this is really hard to read.
- Speckle link:
This was my very first try and error session. when I go deaper - I think I will have a lot of ideas to add 
I am in the “Expert Elite Programm” from Autodesk because of my knowledge in Revit and my openess to support community.
I am interested to get deeper exchange about all those things
See you / BG
