Place colored dots on Revit elements based on filter rules.
Note that this extensions requires pyRevit and Revitron to be installed!
In order to use this extension it can either be installed with the pyRevit CLI or using the Revitron Package Manager.
Alternatively it is also possible to simply clone the repository into the extension directory of pyRevit.
cd path\to\pyRevit\extensions
git clone https://github.com/revitron/revitron-dots.git revitron-dots.extension
The extension has to be configured using .json files that can be linked individually to Revit models using the
Revitron > Dots > Select Configuration File button.
A configuration file consits of one or more sets. Each set defines the rules and size that will be applied when running the extension.
{
"Set_01": {
"radius": 0.5,
"rules": []
},
"Set_02": {
"radius": 0.3,
"rules": []
}
}Rules are used to associate a color with a list of filters. A filter is an object that has two main properties — a rule and a list of args. A rule is basically just the name of a Filter class method. The corresponding arguments can be passed using the args field.
{
"Set_01": {
"radius": 0.5,
"rules": [
{
"color": "#ff2288",
"filters": [
{
"rule": "byStringContains",
"args": ["Comments", "Some comment"]
},
{
"rule": "...",
"args": ["..."]
}
]
}
]
}
}A fully working example configuration can be found here. It is recommended to use this file and modify to your needs.
