Additional Exported Revit Parameters

It would be helpful comparing 2D drawings and Submittals to the 3D content if additional Revit parameters such as "Mark" or "Type Mark" that are typically used in schedules were also exported from Revit in the IDENTITY DATA category.

There are a few requests similar to this I noticed, but not quite.

  Kaden Kartchner Kartchner - Could you share a screenshot of a Revit schedule example?

  You can post here or email me directly l.sharpe@revizto.com

  For sure! Here's an example. The "NO." is just the Revit "Instance Mark" parameter renamed in the schedule.

  Thanks for clarifying. We definitely bring that data in.
  You should be able to find it at the type level of the object tree.

  Learning new things! Thank you, Laura! This can be closed then I'd think.

  Hi

  When i export the parameter Mark does not get brought over to Revizto. Why is that? And is it correct that it is only the Type Parameters that gets brought over?

  Great question. Let’s discuss selection resolution, object tree, element type and instance parameters.

  Selection Resolution

  Selection resolution relates to how accurately you can choose objects in the Object Tree.

  When you click on an item in the 3D environment, Revizto uses the default Selection Resolution determines what level of the Object Tree to start selecting. This could be the entire model, a specific layer, an element, or just the geometry.

  The default selection resolution sets a starting point in the Object Tree. You can customize the default selection resolution in Preferences > 3D > Selection Resolution.

  Options

  File – Selects the Model from the Object Tree. This is the first step down from Scene. In the object tree, Revizto models are marked with the following icon:  .
  Layer – Selects object Layer or Level. This is the next step down from Model. In the object tree, layers and levels are marked with the following icon:  .
  Geometry – Selects the geometry of an object such as solids and meshes. In the object tree, geometries are marked with the following icon:  .
  First Object – This is the default option. Selects the element or composite object. 
  Last Object – Selects the object path at lowest level of the Object Tree. This can be a composite object, but if none are found, the geometry level is used.

  Ånond Viki to answer your question.

  Mark and Type mark don't exist in the .rfa data, which is why you don't see it. Try going up to the First Object in the object tree. The instance Mark will be under Identity Data, and the Type Mark will be found under Revit Type.
