I made mine shared parameters, but I don't think that's necessary for REL to work. Haven't come across the Orange phenomenon.<br /><br />I have created a new post describing my process is more detail. Perhaps this will help. If not you may need to talk to the vendors CTC.Andy Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292205727891265423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-61390230361215952992012-08-01T23:53:01.257+04:002012-08-01T23:53:01.257+04:00This interaction between Revit and Excel seems lik...This interaction between Revit and Excel seems like it can be very helpful, I myself just recently created a rough rotating curtain wall system and had to input each value manually (that was a huge pain).

There are a couple of products that can carry out these kinds of tasks but I prefer BIMLink. <br />Kind regards<br />Michelle Leonard<br />http://nz.linkedin.com/in/leonardmichelleMichelle Leonardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-58407769699220422732012-07-29T08:04:13.155+04:002012-07-29T08:04:13.155+04:00Hi Craig

I used the one that I could afford at the time.<br /><br />I normally remove any comments that set out to advertise a particular product. In your case I will make an exception out of respect for the good work that Ideate does. <br /><br />I wish you well.Andy Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292205727891265423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-41276711659867026932012-07-28T02:48:19.859+04:002012-07-28T02:48:19.859+04:00Andy/all: Right RTC session- wrong software produc...Andy/all: Right RTC session- wrong software product referenced in your first slide and post! Michelle used "Ideate BIMLink" in her session. Appreciate a correction! Regards, Craig H Dodge (Ideate)<br /><br />correct software at www.ideatebimlink.com <br /><br />Here was the class description:<br /><br />Interative Design with Ideate BIM Link<br />Room: Summit <br />Speaker: Michelle Leonard <br />Category: Architecture <br />Skill Level: Advanced <br />Description:<br /><br /> Take 4,420 sun shading blades across a northern façade arranged in 884 diamonds formed by steel cables, 3 sizes of blade, 2 orientations, 2 mirror isomers per blade, 4 possible colours and perforated or not… Which means 32 permutations per blade, which therefore meant 33,554,432 per diamond with no repeats…. And over a Googol (that’s 10 to the power of 100 or 1 with 100 zeros) possible combinations across the screen with no repeats…Phew! So how do you start to input all of this information then test different iterations of randomness across the façade? BIM LINK! For this project we BIM Link to push randomised data from Excel into Revit to change each individual instance of blade to change rotation, placement and material. This enabled us to test different iterations of ‘randomness’ across the screen to get the desired effect, without manually having to input data into the model saving a huge amount of data entry by using this effective plug in.<br /> Key Learning Objectives<br /> 1. Learn how BIM Link can be used to update information from Excel into Revit, to save<br /> hundreds of man hours of updating information<br /> 2. Find ways to push and pull smart geometry around quickly through BIM Link<br /> 3. By utilising a program like BIM Link can enable some of your staff that arent familiar with<br /> Revit to update information like Door Shedules etc...Craig H Dodgehttp://www.ideatebimlink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416077501952449955.post-84662192672540717702012-07-27T18:24:31.478+04:002012-07-27T18:24:31.478+04:00Looks awesome Andy!!!
