I have a problem between onshape and revit. I create a SAT file at the output of onshape that I insert into revit as a generic model but when I rate this model on revit and then I modify the part on onshape then I recharge the generic model on revit all the rates jump, it’s normal. To remedy this, I would like a pyrevit program that in front of a plan view or a section on the generic model, it repeats all the features of the model with the revit feature I created called “BBN Geometry Maps” is it possible?
I think I know what you are aiming for, but am not entirely sure.
Shifting away from SAT import to something more feature driven is a better path forward. That will allow updating any one feature without forcing new references everywhere.
Duplicating geometry is also possible, but your mode performance will take a hit due to duplicated geometry to display/calculate.
Thank you for your quick response. I completely agree with you. However, I often need to reload my SAT file after modification and the entirety of the dimensions is deleted.
If you have a solution to solve this problem, I’m interested.
Thank you in advance
it would seem your issue is the iterative imports are entirely new objects each time, therefore all dimensional references are lost. Maybe contemplate what Jacob said a little more - “Shifting away from SAT import to something more feature driven is a better path forward. That will allow updating any one feature without forcing new references everywhere.”

@elton.williams summed it up well - if the geometry has references which need to be maintained then you could pass that data into an element which you could reference and update. Obviously significant updates in the shape (I.e. going from a cuboid to a sphere) mean references will be lost, but they are gone anyway.
As things get more real the concepts become more or less viable though. What do your geometries look like?
