RRadout is a Python module for Autodesk Revit, exporting geometry data to the Radiance lighting simulation package.
Warning: This is beta software! (Release 0.2 has advanced from "Proof of Concept" to "Prototype" status.)
Basic features of RRadout are:
- Export all normal geometry visible in the active view (except RPCs)
- Circular PlanarFaces as rings where possible (including coaxial hole).
- Other PlanarFaces as polygons (including holes)
- CylindricalFaces as cylinders where possible (otherwise rectangles).
- ConicalFaces as cones where possible (otherwise triangles).
- RevolvedFaces as (sequence of) cones where possible (otherwise triangles).
- All other surfaces tessellated into triangles.
- Names based on level, leaf node family name (type name for non-family types), and material
- Export in metric or imperial units (configured in code)
- Separate function for exporting topography meshes as triangles.
- Separate function for exporting topography meshes as Wavefront Object files for use with obj2mesh (with normals for smoothing and UV-coordinates scaled to model units).
