Pull examples

Note: It is highly recommended to switch to Manual mode when working with Dynamo and BHoM. Besides that, it is worth having a look at Using the BHoM section before reading this page.

Complex requests

Disciplines

As mentioned in Conversion from Revit section, depending on the discipline set in Action config, Revit elements can be converted to different BHoM objects. A vivid example of that is shown in the script below (full size). Revit walls are being converted to:

• BH.oM.Physical.Elements.Wall for Physical discipline
• BH.oM.Structure.Elements.Panel for Structural discipline
• BH.oM.Environment.Elements.Panel for Environmental discipline

Pulling energy analysis model

Energy analysis is a specific discipline that requires information about meta information (e.g. topology or building location) that is often not needed for other disciplines. Therefore EnergyAnalysisModelRequest in order to ease the process of pulling comprehensive data from Revit energy analysis model.

Pulling edges

A hidden feature of action config: pulling any elements together with their edges as shown in Revit! In case below, of framing elements (full size). Following Conversion section, the edges are stored in BHoM object's CustomData under Revit_edges key - easiest way to retrieve it is to use GetProperty component, alternatively the object and its CustomData can be decomposed with Explode.
