Amendment of the space

[Anonymous]

Good day!

Please tell me is it possible to do using Revit API that Space in the Electrical-lighting she thought and showed:
- number of lights
- power 1 lamp
- type (brand) of the lamp

if Yes, then how to start?

Thank you!

Good day to you too.

I believe that this is possible, both by programming using the Revit API, and, better still, manually through the user interface.

I am not an expert on the latter though.

Still, I think it should be possible to grab the values of the parameters that you have highlighted and display them as text in the graphics screen.

Maybe you can create a custom label family to reflect these values?

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy!
Thank You for your response.

Let's just say I'm very new programming)

Through the interface I made (example -1) here I manually fill, and the information appears in the brand space on the plan.

I had the idea, the program automatically reads average illuminance in Lux (example 2), it is an indicator it determines through the lamps ( each lamp in the collection size laid ies. file) located in the space. So it can show the number, capacity, brand and etc..

How to get to this code (example-2), for example using Revit Lookup or other ways to write this code using Revit API this task?

Thanks

The first step is to access the parameter values displayed in the property page.

That is amply discussed in the Revit API getting started material:

If you have not yet done so, you should start off by working through the DevTV and My first Revit pluin tutorials.

Cheers,
