DynaMaps and Revit - Adding Context to Your Models (w/Mostafa)

[@jesus_built_my_hotrod]

Great meetup, cheers guys 👍

[@lauraramosvillaplana2657]

This is amazing!!!I ve been looking for a good DynaMaps demo, thanks for this ;)

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheers! So glad it was what you were looking for!~

Dynamaps is not working for me on revit 2022, I have not used it before. I did some quick googling, and it seems like it might be something to do with how autodesk changed units to work with Forge? Hope it gets updated so I can check it out. This is the error I get in dyanamo Warning: DynaMapsNodesFunctions.LiveFootPrint operation failed. Could not load type 'Autodesk.Revit.DB.DisplayUnitType' from assembly 'RevitAPI, Version=22.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Strange! Feel free to reach out to Mostafa here: data-shapes.io/contact/

Hi Javier, I'm having the same problem. Did you find a way to resolve it?

[@JavierOropeza08]

@@rayeliu4750 unfortunately, no. I ended up using a previous version of revit :/

Hi, great video ! :) Do you know why i keep getting an error "Unable to compute thickened face : INCONSISTENT_ORIENTATION -- Faces in shell have inconsistent orientation" when trying to make roads?

[@TheRevitKid]

I am not aware of that error... I am sure if reach out to Mostafa he will be able to help!

[@markusgruber5965]

Love that. Thank you for the recording. Absolutely great. I wonder, if DynaMaps is also available for Revit 2022 or 2023.😃. Thanks for any answer ahead

[@TheRevitKid]

Not sure. But Ehsan is usually pretty responsive if you message him or email him!

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

It is not, the Revit API changed how it handles units making it not forwards compatible.

[@hirazubair6284]

Is it true that dyna maps is not compatible with dynamo versions older than 2.0?

[@TheRevitKid]

Not sure, we will have to as Mostafa! I have not used it in 2022, yet.

[@razvan-mot1098]

4D cadastre can be done in Revit?

[@razvan-mot1098]

Hello. Can you help me with what you did but 4D. You have an idea?

[@davisalcarraz3904]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the video, I'm trying to model an area in South Korea and there seems to be not enough information around there. I was wondering if there was a way to add data to the open street map or to change the map (local Korean map).

[@TheRevitKid]

I am honestly not sure. It is all based on open data so I assume anyone can submit. You'd have to check out the OSM database websites, etc...

[@youssefibrahim6782]

This is amazing!I thank you

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!

[@atallahahmed9983]

i cant find geometry preview how i can turn it on ??

[@TheRevitKid]

I think that may have been part of the "DataShapes" package.

amazing video, can you please assist me on why I keep on getting flat Topo Polysurface, thanks

[@TheRevitKid]

Glad you enjoyed! Mostafa is great at helping users... Just reach out here: data-shapes.io/contact/

[@mattb9199]

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? I am having the same issue.

[@kendelinverarity3478]

Not sure if anyone had the following issues (I am based in Western Australia). RoadsAsSurface Node gave me Warning:DynamoMapsNodesFunction.RoadsAsFlatSurface Operation Failed:Unable to compute thickened Face.... this then did not allow the ProjectRoadsOnTopo node to work either. I used Perth City Centre to as my map area of search.

[@kendelinverarity3478]

I spoke to "Those of whom are Greater than I" and they said unfortunately the level of fidelity in the data sets is not sufficient for detailed environmental testing. It is also out of date with our current (Australian) development applications, and built designs because no one is adding to the database. This came from the Aussie BIM Guru who is another amazing individual whom you may wish to follow if you are not already.

[@kendelinverarity3478]

Might be a question for Mustafa.

[@hubert4646]

Actually, I had the same or similar error but somehow I managed to make it work by cropping different area of the same town in Germany. Unfortunately, it is not the area I'm interested in.

[@derekbehr8365]

I don't find "GeomPreview" in my dynamo :´(

[@TheRevitKid]

That is part of the data shapes pacakge... you need to install the package first.
