Issue with FaceAnalysisDisplay.ByViewAndFaceAnalysisData

Hi,

I keep getting the same error message with the Surface analysis tools in Dynamo 0.8 & Revit 2016. I want to use analysis results to display on the curved surface of the mass in project attached below.

The faceanalysisdisplay… node keeps getting problematic with this message:

Anyone a suggestion how to get this working?

Dynamo script: SurfaceVisualization

Revit Project: Project2

 

Thanks in advance,

Dieter

Take another look at the error message. It refers to the data type of your second input as _SingleFunctionObject which means that somewhere in the chain of nodes leading up to that input there must be an unconnected input. I would suspect that it was because you didn’t have a face selected.

Hi Andreas, this is awkward :slight_smile: But that was not the problem. Apparently I took the screenshot at the wrong time.

Screenshot below is when the curved face was selected :slight_smile: (BTW, in Project2, the masses are probably hidden in V/G).

This is the message I meant.

Mmh, strange. This may actually be a bug. I made some alterations to your script (getting rid of the List.Create node & creating a list of names for the analysis results), but it didn’t make this warning disappear.

Did a new test in Dynamo 0.7.5, where it works fine with the same configuration…

Hard to say without seeing what your inputs look like. This works for me in Revit 2015 and Revit 2016

I'm trying to find this too! Any luck?

@Zach_Kron I am pulling this old post and trying to do similar analysis for ceiling surfaces. I can see you have color displayed in the snip. Is that geometry a mass? Do you know if we can colorize ceiling surfaces as well? I was able to do Point Analysis Display but not Face Analysis Display. Any insight you may have would help me tremendously. Why does the node produce a list and not AnalysisDisplay object like this snip I captured? In this the point displays correctly in Revit but the Face doesn’t.
