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. Tick the Use Material Table option.
The materials are read from Revit faces during the first conversion. The values can be overridden in the table if necessary.
The indoor surfaces, ceiling and floors of all Revit Rooms (either MBS registered or not) can be detected. Tick the Detect Interior Surfaces option.
If this option is not ticked, the material is read as it is set the Revit Faces. If the option is ticked the table will add three entries for the wall, floor and ceiling with default value of 0.5 reflectance.
“MBS_InteriorWalls”, “MBS_Floors”, “MBS_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.
