Details on “Space Data Visualization ...”
Information on Space Data Visualization ... on the Analyse tab of the discipline Architecture.
With the space data visualization, you can visualize all data stored in the MEP spaces and save the generated views as needed. For visualization purposes, a temporary 3D view is generated in which the individual MEP spaces are represented by visualization objects that correspond to the spatial volumes of the MEP spaces and their location in the model. These visualization objects are colored depending on the parameter values using filters, which can be adjusted as needed. The direct link between visualization objects and MEP spaces means that changes to the properties of visualization objects are passed on directly to the corresponding MEP spaces.

Clicking on Space Data Visualization ... opens the Space Data Visualization dialog, where you can select the parameter to be visualized, specify settings for the visualization, update the visualization, and save generated visualizations. If you have a 3D view open when you open the dialog, the visualization objects used as placeholders for the MEP spaces in the visualization are already displayed in this view. These visualization objects are generic placeholders that correspond to the spatial volumes of the MEP spaces and their location in the model.
Update Visualization Objects
Synchronizes the visualization objects with their associated MEP spaces in saved views. Use this button if, for example, there have been changes to the parameter values or the geometry of the MEP spaces, or if visualization objects have been moved or removed.
Purge Visualization Objects
Removes all visualization objects created by the function from the project.
You can use Update Visualization Objects to restore the visualization objects if necessary.
Show/Hide Visualization Object
Hides and shows the visualization objects in the currently open view. When saving a space data visualization, the visualization objects are saved in the project and may also be visible in other views. Use this button to hide visualization objects in individual views where they are not wanted.
Update Filters
Updates all filters created with the function in saved views. Use this button if, for example, the values of the visualized parameter have changed and new values for continuous parameters are outside the specified filter limits. In such cases, the affected visualization objects are shown in white. When updating, the filters are recalculated using the same number of intervals and thus color gradations.
Clear Filter
Removes all filters generated by the function in the project that are not being used. Unused filters are created when you delete saved views that were created using the function. Use this button to avoid having to delete unused filters individually. All filters generated with this function are listed under Rule-based Filters in the Revit Filter dialog ).
