Daylight Factor Analysis using Revit 2016

Hello,

I am trying to run a Daylight Factor analysis using revit's "Render in Cloud" function and I would like to know if it's somehow possible to get a numeric grid besides the graphical plan, something like the picuture from Ecotech I attached 

Thanks in advanced, 
Hassib

Is it possible to display the point values like the original photo shows? where each grid center has a value displayed like (3.54).

Since what is requested for us is the average daylight factor % per room, it's not useful to only see where the line of 2% goes, but we need to know the values for each point - so we can multiply them, then divide by number of points per room - to get the actual avg DF% for the room.

 

I mean to have seen something like this, but can't find any settings to display those numbers on the grid.

Yes indeed.
To get to the Analysis Display Style, click the Default A D Style in the
Properties of the View, or click on the analysis plane itself and choose
the properties of the results. Either choose one of the existing '...pts'
or ..pts_anno' styles and modify the threshold values, or create your own.

If you already have a DF style with the colors and threshold you want, Copy
the style, and choose 'Markers with Text' style in the naming dialog, and
that will create a points style with the same colors and values.

The style settings tricks for showing annotation properly are:
- Choose Marker Size and Text size appropriate for your View Scale, or
change your view scale
- Choose 'Show All' in Text Labels
- Be careful about how many points are visible in your view, as it takes a
while to generate all that text

That said, you should be able to get room by room threshold percentages
automatically calculated in the Room Schedule, as long as you chose the 2%
minimum threshold when submitting the analysis. Unfortunately thresholds
for the schedules are not currently modifiable after submitting the
analysis.
