Re: Proxies vs Instances

Thanks Paul - we spent hours searching through the Revit API and the web looking for a way to access the rotation of a family. This piece of code "rot = faminst.Location.Rotation" is exactly what we were looking for.

Re: Proxies vs Instances

Hi Paul - With the help you gave me in another thread https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=51654&p=257713#p257713 and with the help of an intern who is good at coding I was able to put together some Python code to output a CSV file for all the instances of a selected family. I haven't ...

Re: CSV file generation

g_meister - I'm also interested in using Dynamo or the Revit API for generating a CSV from from Revit. Is there anything you can share with me? I've been working on it for a few days and am stuck at the point of your last post when it comes to rotation. I've looked through the links you attached but ...

CSV File Format

Hi Paul:

I’m familiar with the format required by OctaneRender discussed here https://docs.otoy.com/Standalone_2_0/?page_id=495, but I was wondering what exactly each of the 12 entries corresponds to in regards to the element itself. Additionally, is an element’s transform (as accessed through the ...

Scatter Control

Hi Paul - I have a model of several buildings on a large site where I've used PhantomScatter to place about 200 cars, 300 trees and lots of grass and flower instances. When I'm working with the building materials Octane will always render the scatter proxies which takes a lot of time to load and ...

Gear VR

Hi Paul - I'm continuing my Revit adventures with Octane and would like to know the workflow to get a Revit model view into the correct format for Gear VR. I looked through as many threads as I could and set up the panoramic, cube map image but it seems that the image needs to be exported into an ...

Re: Proxies vs Instances

Hi Paul - Your explanation made a lot of sense and I suspected as much. I'm not a coder but have seen Dynamo used inside of Revit and think it might be possible to query the coordinates of all tree locations and export the data to a CSV file. Of course, if you made it part of the plugin interface ...

Proxies vs Instances

Hi Paul - I have a quick question concerning proxies and instances in Revit. I had a large landscape and I placed about 100 Revit tree families (simple geometry with an outline) to use as placeholders for an ORBX proxy. I assign each family instance a high poly ORBX proxy. When I went to render ...
