Chameleon is a plugin for both Grasshopper and Revit with a focus on interoperability, simulation, and efficient practice workflows.

Comment by kwanphil cho on December 18, 2012 at 9:17am: Sorry guys if this question has been answered. I am fairly new to Chameleon. I am trying to import customized revit family into Grasshopper. Can anyone guide me a bit? Thanks

Comment by Nate Holland on October 22, 2012 at 8:33am: Marc,

I've had that issue a few times, usually it happens for one of 2 reasons. 1. You've deleted one of the components in Revit and Chameleon doesn't know how to find the ID. 2. You didn't pass the correct number of points/number params from Grasshopper. Use the Param Viewer to check all of your inputs into the Revit Edit Params component to make sure the count and tree structure is consistent.

I'm not having any luck going round trip from acquiring an adaptive component, and then pushing changes to that ac's instance parameters back into revit. When I push new instance parameter values into Revit it throws an error and doesn't change the parameter values. Your documentation says that this only works for Curtain Panels, so I'm assuming this error is consistent with your plugin's current limitations. Is that a good assumption?

Thanks-

Marc

Comment by sun zheng on October 3, 2012 at 5:52am: I cannot install Chameleon on Revit 2012 or 2013. When Revit starts, it says:Failed to initialize the add in Chameleon becase the assembly "Realease\ChameleonRVT.dll" does not exist. I checked the path"C documents and settings\""""""\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2012\Release\ChameleonRVT.dll", it does exist.

Anyone knows why?

Comment by Armando Montejano on October 1, 2012 at 9:33am: Nate,

Thanks for the clarifying, by my side I'll be searching for a solution.

Cheers

Hiroshi actually performed the analysis on a mass family in a .rvt file (project) while in vasari. You just need to load your mass family into an .rvt file, and run the analysis. Hope this helps.
