Chameleon

Armando,

I should clarify my last post. I manually placed the adaptive component into the mass family, by clicking the points. I have yet to find a way to get geometry generated by chameleon into a mass family that will allow me to run Vasari analysis.

Also, Hiroshi,

I tried to transfer a Vasari lofted mass into GH, but found that even on relatively simple lofts with double curved faces, the meshing took too long to transfer effectively. Is there a way to control how many faces the geometry has when its passed from Vasari to GH?

Hello Hiroshi,

Regards to the real projects using using Chameleon as interface between GH - Revit, I'm working on it, in an older post I put some images of a villa (part of a entire spa-hotel in Bacalar, Mexico). As soon as I get something decent to send you count with that.

The other question is regarding to Nate Holland Petition, which I address totally. The capacity to import GH points (adaptive component) in to Mass Family (or any other family) ambient. That wold be an big step to manage GH information in to Revit.

Cheers

P.S. Nate, Could you orient me which is the manual way to put the adaptive family built with Chameleon in to a mass family.

Thanks

Hello Hiroshi, I installed chameleon both in Revit and GH, but for some reason the Add-ins tab in Revit isn't showing... do you know how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hiroshi,

After watching the Vasari video you were a part of I decided to try moving geometry from grasshopper to Vasari with Chameleon. I can get geometry into the environment just fine, but I can't run any analysis on it because its an adaptive component not a mass. When I try to place the adaptive components into a mass family, Chameleon tells me that feature can only run in a project window. I found that I can manually place the adaptive component family in the mass family and then run the analysis. So I'm wondering if you could look into that for a future release.

Thank you,

Nate

Hiroshi, here's a post we just put up: http://lmnts.lmnarchitects.com/featured/adaptive-components/

We can't say too much about the project yet, but will be posting more in the coming months.  Thanks.

Dear Chameleon community,  I am trying to gather up some examples of how Chameleon is being used on real-world projects.  If you are using it on a real project and wouldn't mind sharing some images and a description with me, could you please get in touch with me?  thanks!

Hiroshi,

I have another request that's come along. By the way the plug in is working great! Is it possible to swap out curtain wall types using a similar method. Obviously it won't be driven by a number parameter like the current setup, but I think there would be a way grasshopper could pass a type indicator (likely a string) that could then be referenced to the element ID. Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick response. What is the dll library called? I did some work with Autodesk Robot. And that has a good Interop library.

Hi Daniel,  It's using something called named pipes to transfer the data.  I posted some related code to the thread here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/gh-revit/forum/topics/welcome-to...  Other than that it uses the API's of Revit and Grasshopper.

Hiroshi,

Can I ask you the trick here. Which interop library did you use within Revit to create this connection? Is there any documentation anywhere on this?

Thanks,

D.
