Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Transfering the Geometry from Revit?

[Fred Buhl <wfbuhl@xxxxxxx>]

Answers to Reza's questions are simple:

1. NO - it is currently not possible to import building geometry 
directly from Revit.  For some individual cases of buildings it /may/ be 
possible to do it indirectly (via other software).

2. NO - Revit and E+ have totally different internal geometry models, so 
no change in building geometry made within E+ can be transmitted 
directly to Revit.  Any change in building geometry made within E+ can 
be reflected in Revit only if it entered manually and separately using 
Revit GUI.
