Chameleon

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.

Hiroshi-

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

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?

Nate,

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

Cheers

Nate,

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.

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.
