Chameleon

Information

CHAMELEON

Chameleon is a plugin for both Grasshopper and Revit with a focus on interoperability, simulation, and efficient practice workflows. Chameleon’s main advantage is its ability to facilitate easy transfer of geometric data between Grasshopper and Autodesk Revit, but also includes other valuable tools to make life easier, both in Grasshopper and Revit.

Comment by Hiroshi Jacobs on June 7, 2012 at 11:09am: I have to figure out how to send unmeshed geometry through the pipe and when that happens it should clean things up a bit. You might try the Geometry Gym plugin that Jon is developing. I think he is able to transfer nurbs.

As far as custom grid patterns, try the new Curtain Grid Generator command on the Revit side. It will let you create multiple curtain grid systems on a curtain wall. I'm working on extending that functionality too.

Comment by Nate Holland on June 7, 2012 at 10:42am: Another question, I see that you can transfer walls to grasshopper with the GH Geom Transfer button, I can get my curtain wall into grasshopper, the wall geo and the grid lines both show up in grasshopper as expected, but I can't figure out what type of Revit parameters can be edited on a curtain wall. I would really like to set up custom grid spacing and offsets on a floor by floor basis.

Comment by Nate Holland on June 7, 2012 at 9:11am: I tried the Merge Faces as you suggest, the problem is I am exporting 775 curtain panels, each has 6 extrusions as sub panels, each extrusion has 6 sides, each side has two triangles. All of a sudden I am looking at trying to process well over 50,000 triangles into a merge face command. On the bright side, Chameleon handles the massive amount of data like a champ. I'm curious in a future release will there be any possibly of being able to transfer and edit extrusion profiles? This could prove very powerful with masses and master planning.

Comment by Hiroshi Jacobs on June 7, 2012 at 7:35am: You can try using the Merge Faces command to simplify the geometry

Comment by first1 on June 7, 2012 at 7:07am: Hi, Nate Holland.

I think so：as long as put the parameters of interfer to Revit Edit Params. Don't have to rebuild the geometry in grasshopper.

Comment by Nate Holland on June 5, 2012 at 7:15pm: Question... When a exporting a complex curtain panel from Revit, ie one with multiple glass panels, mullions and louvers, it comes into Rhino as a single Brep or a series of meshed triangles, has anyone found a good way to gain control of it in Grasshopper besides rebuilding the geometry from its extents?
