Is there a way to illustrate the path of the walkthrough?

show the path of a walkthrough in a floor plan without being in the middle of editing the walkthrough.  client wants to see the path in plan view similar to a fire exit plan.

Hi @htews

 

Please see screencast below to illustrate path of the walkthrough

@Viveka_CD: I watched your Screencast and it's not clear to me. Are you showing how to turn the path into a view element, similar to a detail line showing a fire evacuation route like @htews is asking?

I know how to create a walkthrough path and all.

want to SHOW the path (green below) in a floor plan, on a sheet similar to below without "tracing" or using DLs to illustrate the path (red lines).

but from the sounds of it, this can't be done.  Just like you cant show/illustrate where an actual camera is located.

maybe this should be added to future updates either in the Model Categories or Annotation Categories "Walkthrough  Path"  or "Camera Location" and be able to check/uncheck the visibility

@htews: post it as an idea. You'll have my vote.

You could--

Take a screenshot, save the image and place on a sheet. Not ideal, as quality may not be great--but it could work.

A purpose-built tool would be nice.

I wonder if Dynamo could be used to trace the path with model lines?

I second the suggestion of using a screenshot to capture the camera path. Place it on a plan view, scale properly, and trace it to create a spline or an in place mass > spline.

@cbcarch: I was thinking Dynamo too, but the path isn't an element. How would it get detected? @ToanDN?  

 

 

...although, you can Clipboard Copy Paste it.

just learned that they would like to see the where the camera's location in plan view as the walkthrough plays.

..yes, I get it, @htews.

 

I can see how you could "trace" and existing detail line with a walkthrough path, but not how you could trace an existing walkthrough path with a detail line.   

 

Interesting. 

 

...still, the screenshot suggestion should work for you right now.

At that level I would look at a more sophisticated animation program such as 3DMax or Enscape or whatever.  Do they know they have to pay you more for this?

 

Or do a screencast to record the camera movement with side-by-side views.  Screencast will be up in a few minutes.

Hi @htews

 

I see what you are saying!

Dynanimator is worth a try, but not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Hi @htews

 

Based on recent feedback, this might be possible. Try posting on the Revit API and dynamo forum for further feedback.

 

Also, can you share a file and a rough sketch of the path illustration you want to achieve?

I'm hoping to get some help on this one from a dynamo specialist, so I wanted to ask if you have experience working with Dynamo?

 

Regards,

Thanks Viveka. This package MAY work. I just downloaded.  Someplace to start at least.  We'll see.
