Revit Data View
This parameter specifies the subset of data that will be extracted from the chosen Revit Export file (.rvz) dataset. The data view acts as a filter to retrieve data relevant to common use cases. Press the browse button in the Revit Data View field:
- All Revit Elements: Provides a complete Revit model (with no filtering) as a complex nested model with auxiliary attribute tables. This is best used as a starting point for user-created data views.
- All Revit Elements with Deaggregated Model: Provides a complete Revit model (with no filtering) deaggregated into specific features (that is, walls, doors, windows) with auxiliary attribute tables. This is best used as a starting point for user-created data views where hierarchy information is not needed.
- Building Elements by Geometry: Splits the Revit model up into line, polygon and surface geometries for simple display purposes. Most attributes are not preserved.
- Building Elements with Hierarchy: Splits the Revit model into its component parts and simplifies the geometry to surfaces. The model hierarchy is maintained using id and parent_id attributes, allowing the model to be partially or completely rebuilt.
- Building Envelope: Extracts external Revit elements such as walls, roofs, doors and windows. Doors and windows are replaced with simple extrusions.
- Building Floor Plan: Extracts a 2D floorplan as lines from the Revit models. Feature Name, Elevation, and Storey attributes are preserved. Spaces are also included with more comprehensive attribution.
- Building Hosts and Model Components: Extracts elements such as curtains, doors, windows, ceilings, roofs, floors, stairs, railings, furnishing elements, flow terminals, and building element proxies with additional Revit attributes.
- Building Spaces: Extracts the Space features from the Revit model as 3D solids, including Revit attributes such as Building, Site and Storey.
