Detailed Models

In the Detailed Tool, the Charts reside under the Glass Database.  Charts display for Glazing Percentage, Heat Gain, Daylighting.  Shading Percentage Charts will also display (if included in the Building Manager before calculating results).

The highlighting color on Surfaces in the Model Viewer will depend on the active Chart :

  • the Glazing Chart will create blue highlights
  • the Heat Gain Charts will create highlights in blue/green or red
  • Daylighting Charts will create highlights of yellow or grey
  • Shading Charts will create grey highlights
Glazing Charts display the percentage of the Surface which is glazed
Heat Gain Charts indicate the surfaces creating these values in the rooms or spaces behind
Daylighting colors highlight on the model if this Chart is active
Once Calculate Shading is turned on in the Building Manager, Shading Charts will also display (most shaded surfaces)

You may also make selections on the model using the Charts.  You may select into a Facade and all Surfaces within this Facade are displayed.  You may then select one single Surface.  It is not possible to select random multiple Surfaces using the Charts (you may do this on the model itself or using the Facade Navigator).  Selections and Roll Up (reversing back out) is available for all Charts.  You may also select areas on the Revit model itself (external walls) and related Facades/Surfaces will get selected in the application.  Selecting from the Revit model is only available for detailed models (not conceptual mass models).  No matter which method is used to make selections, all methods will update to be consistent (Charts, Facades List and Model Viewer).

Selecting a single Surface will display monthly values for that Surface

There are controls provide in the Charts area to toggle between Average and Peak values and to ‘roll up’ which will reverse out of selections made back to all Facades on the model.

Roll Up button to reverse back out from a single Surface (or all Surfaces on a Facade) to all Facades
Average or Peak values toggle button

You may also right click on the bars in the Chart and select a display style (Smooth or Separate Colors) or sort by ascending to descending values etc.
