I finally took the time to figure out how to get the OSGB coordinate system into Revit... I feel I should have done this a while ago, but it's satisfying all the same.

Not the most complex of Dynamo graphs, but effective and terrifying in possibly equal measure... I might not put this in the main library just yet...

@autodeskrevit.bsky.social Has something changed in the custom installers so that they don't accept a forward slash for the file path, despite this being the default setting?

2/2 Using 2 '+' nodes also simulates a 3 input node. For this ensure both plus nodes have the same lacing and then set your inputs with the intended level settings.
For the second '+' node the X input should be left in its default state.

1/2 If you struggle with lacing and levels in Dynamo this might help you visualize what is happening. You can use a '+' node to see how the data is combined with the different settings by converting your lists to strings.

Hey #Revit folk... has anyone come across this before? I can't see how a CAD file would end up as a purgeable family item...
It is causing carnage, and while it's easily sorted, I'd love to know how it has ended up like this in the first place...

Can anyone shed any light on why some #Revit models keep regenerating graphics for floor plans when I'm exporting an IFC and others don't?

Similarly for materials we need to denote either m3 or m2 so we can use a similar approach. However, because we are pushing these to a 'number' you need to divide the values by 1 to get around the inconsistent units error.

For our OneClick export we need to combine area values or count in a single column. By introducing a yes/no parameter you can use a formula in the schedule to achieve this by either returning the Area value or 1 and setting that new parameter to calculate totals.

Steady progress. Proof of concept with the export of a Revit schedule and importing directly to OneClick with all materials correctly mapped. The only issue the comments aren't coming across where I need them but I think this is a glitch in their platform/import process.

Some of the data we're now recording in Revit to assist with embodied carbon calcs. This relates specifically to material data within system families (walls, floors, ceilings etc). A further set of columns deals with secondary material data (e.g. partial fill insulation).

More curtain walling updates... this time internal and external corners, all fully parametric... Decidedly more tricky than it perhaps looks on the surface...

Back making some tweaks/improvements to our curtain wall window families to make them behave a bit better when exported to IFC... #BIM
