Revit Rooms in 3D

[MichaelSpahn]

Hello community,

I want to display all rooms in 3D as separate rooms in my Revit model.
I have found a Dynamo script on the internet that I would like to run under Revit 2022.

Unfortunately, I am a complete newbie in Dynamo and do not know much about it.

The script has some errors.
Can someone help me or knows an alternative way?

Thanks for your help.

If you don't want to use dynamo, you can check this plan rotate to 3d trick

My first guess is that you do not have all of the Packages installed. That "Relay" node is part of the ArchiLab package, or least was at one point. I don't remember if it is still part of that Package.

Without being able to see the other errors it is hard to tell.

You can download packages from the Package manager within Dynamo.

hello @Tom_Kunsman , @syman2000 ,

perhaps i have expressed myself incorrectly @syman2000 
I would like to achieve this result:

@Tom_Kunsman:
How can I load the ArchiLab? It is not available in the package manager anymore.

Thanks for your answers 🙂

Yup...you can select the view crop. Go to the two seperate section and rotate it 45 deg. It will turn your floor plan into 3d view.  Once you apply room legend, it will color your floor in 3d.

But I can't display 200 rooms one by one manually. I need an isometric 3D view of every single room.

Mein Gott!  I think your DYN Routine caused me to go blind!  he, he.  

Pretty impressive, @MichaelSpahn.

Can someone please help me or look at the script?

Thanks 🙂

Hey,

Before running the script, you must install a couple of packages that are required:

1. Archilab

2. Lunchbox.

3. SteamNodes.

4. Quasar.

After doing this, the red nodes should turn to gray.

1. If the node turns to gray, that means Dynamo found the node.

2. If the node is still red, possibly the node belongs to another package, different the one you just installed.

If the node turns to yellow and has the label "unresolved" means that dynamo did not find the node. It could be because the node was modified when the package was updated. It could have a new name, different logic, new inputs, etc.

There is a very cool extension called WorkspaceDependecyViewExtension in the latest versions of Dynamo that tells you the name of the missing packages and the version that was used on script.

Last thing I would do is to check dropdown nodes.

There are nodes that allow you to select options, for example the node "Categories" allow you to select one of the availables categories in Revit. When I opened this Script, the current selection in the "Categories" node (first node from letf to right, orange group) was "Furniture System Tags". I changed it to "Rooms". When you open and script, sometimes current selections on dropdowns change, I am not sure about why, I suspect is because the list the they contains could change from version to version as well.

I hope it helps,

Kind regards

Thanks for your help 🙂

how does it work with the WorkspaceDependecyViewExtension?

When I download and unzip the packages from https://dynamopackages.com/# I have to put them in the package folder. But Dynamo does not recognize these .dll files and can not load them.

It can't be that difficult to get a script to run. What am I doing wrong 😕

You can install the packages from Dynamo.

I would start by focusing on installing the packages. Once all your nodes are grayed out, you should be able to run the script without any problems.

Good luck!
