[Equest-users] Revit to eQuest

[Mathew Higgins]

Unfortunately I haven't had the same enjoyable experience as Ramana, in 
the two projects I've attempted through GreenBuilding Studio I have not 
been able to see the geometry in eQuest and the output was drastically 
different than creating the eQuest model from scratch. I am scratching 
the process till further advancements are realized. But please know that 
our firm did not create the Revit model, therefore did not have control 
of those inputs.

One has to be careful while assigning zones in Revit though… making sure that the zone extends beyond the roof or once you export it to equest you'll find your roof missing.
