Revit’s [TessellatedShapeBuilder] function

1146279845 — Sun, 19 Jan 2020 02:46:33 GMT

Hello, why does it fail to call Revit’s [TessellatedShapeBuilder] function when the number of triangles is more than 45000? Is there any way to solve this problem?

Please provide a minimal reproducible case and I can ask the development team whether it is intentional for you.

When " TessellatedShapeBuilder.Target= TessellatedShapeBuilderTarget.Mesh,

TessellatedShapeBuilder.Fallback=TessellatedShapeBuilderFallback.Salvage" and the number of triangles is greater than 675675, tessellatedshapebuilder. Build() failed

When " TessellatedShapeBuilder.Target=TessellatedShapeBuilderTarget.Solid,

TessellatedShapeBuilder.Fallback=TessellatedShapeBuilderFallback.Abort" and the number of triangles is greater than 45000, tessellatedshapebuilder. Build() failed

Why is there so much difference between solid and mesh?

Thank you very much

I cannot say why there is a difference between the two, but one thing is clear:

Remember that Revit is a BIM tool.

Are you really using it for a BIM, or some inappropriate use case?

What do the shapes represent that you are creating?

Are they building elements?

If so, that will end up being a pretty complicated building.
