Revit 2016 Daylighting Analysis Double Markers

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 21:01:17 GMT

Hello,

I have done multiple Runs and I have always encountered these markers doubling in a lot of places. Can someone explain this to me or am I doing something wrong?

Thank You,

Joel

Hey Joel,

Is it possible that there are two different floor elements in that part of the model? The lighting analysis tool uses floor elements to produce the analysis plane. That means, if there are multiple floor elements on top of each other, there will likely be multiple analysis planes on top of each other. This is what things look like in your image. Try removing or hiding one of the floors in the "_Lighting Analysis" 3D view and see if that helps.

Bonus, it will probably lower your cloud credit costs as well.

Stephanie,

You are the best! That was the issue. The original modeler has placed a floor (tile) on top of slab.

Thank you very much for your help.
