Room point based calculation results such as Daylight Distribution, Daylight Factor and Climate Daylight, are graphics and NOT residents of the database – so they don’t add to the size of the Revit
model and they don’t persist.
If you want them again later you need to rerun the calculation or load back the saved results using Load Results dialogue.
The target area(as in the exported report) for Daylight Distribution, Daylight Factor and Climate based calculations might not tally up exactly with the graphical results visible in the model.
This is due to the fact that the Waldram Tools software uses Autodesk® Revit Analysis Visualization Framework to represent the graphical result on surfaces while the calculations are done in MBS.
The target area for
Material Dialogue is possibly the easiest way to assign material to surfaces. The Layer name box is populated with all Revit Material Library including three MBS specific materials:
“MBS_InteriorWalls”
“MBS_Floors”
“MBS_Ceilings”
The indoor surfaces, ceiling and floors of all Revit Rooms(either MBS registered or not) will be detected and pick the assigned material from this table during the conversion process if any record exists.
To visualizes the process you can try the “Highlight Room Interiors” utility on the Waldram Tools ribbon toolbar which paints the interiors of all the Revit Rooms in three different colors for floors, interior walls and ceilings.
Another way to apply material is to select Revit elements and use Revit Paint tool to directly apply material to the face of the element. This way no material assignment is required through the Waldram Tools Material Dialogue.
