CHAMELEON

Chameleon is a plugin for both Grasshopper and Revit with a focus on interoperability, simulation, and efficient practice workflows. Chameleon’s main advantage is its ability to facilitate easy transfer of geometric data between Grasshopper and Autodesk Revit, but also includes other valuable tools to make life easier, both in Grasshopper and Revit.

Thanks a lot Hiroshi Jacobs for this great plugin :) 

For the adaptive component... I want to be able to enter text values for the name of the parameters inside grasshopper so that it's automatically loaded to Revit without having to map P0, P1, P2... with different parameters inside the family

This will save the time when experimenting different parameters changes and updating it in Revit


check the image for what I mean

Thanks again for this great plugin :)

Thanks for the advice, Paul!

I was in a 3D view when exporting, which I think uses the default north orientation. In any case, I was able to fix by, as you suggested, just using a rotation vector on all my incoming geometry in Grasshopper to rotate from Project to True North. Thanks for the help!

Hi all,

While transferring geometry from Revit to Grasshopper, I noticed that the geometry does not align to the rhino model. The two files share the same origin, however my Revit project has a "Project North" in addition to "True North", and I am almost certain that this rotation vector is responsible for the misalignment.

Is there any way in either program to correct this?

Paul that is very very helpful! thank you so much. I am also now trying to understand the flow of information in the other direction from Revit back to GH. I can import walls floors and masses but the walls and floors are split into many surfaces and the masses come in as meshes. Have you ever tried to pull data from revit. I was hoping to drive the placement of the adaptive components and the parameters with gh but to use the geometry from revit to do so. My goal was to take a wall from an architectural project into gh to divide and apply adaptive components and parameters to say after affecting them with some analysis maybe geco and ecotect and then push those resulting numbers and placements back to revit for AC propagation but with the walls coming in as so many surfaces Im not sure how to proceed. Thanks again for your help! have you played with any of the other revit gh connections? I think its a very interesting field !

Hi chameleon group! I'm trying to update parameters with chameleon and even though I have data going into the P0 on the AC component it doesn't give me the option to choose a parameter to affect in the revit side of things... any ideas would be helpful thanks

Hi Hiroshi

I too have had warnings from my web browser not to download the software as it could be harmful to my computer.
