00:00:05.00 --> 00:00:06.09 However, you might come across occasions 4 00:00:06.09 --> 00:00:08.05 where the solutions are close, 5 00:00:08.05 --> 00:00:10.04 but not quite what you're after. 6 00:00:10.04 --> 00:00:11.03 So in this lesson, 7 00:00:11.03 --> 00:00:13.03 let's refine one of the solutions 8 00:00:13.03 --> 00:00:15.03 by creating another study, 9 00:00:15.03 --> 00:00:17.08 and then incorporating it into our project. 10 00:00:17.08 --> 00:00:20.08 In the last lesson, we generated five different results, 11 00:00:20.08 --> 00:00:22.05 which were quite varied. 12 00:00:22.05 --> 00:00:26.06 Let's say we liked the result that had 12 desks, 13 00:00:26.06 --> 00:00:30.06 but we weren't too happy with the Views to Outside Score. 14 00:00:30.06 --> 00:00:33.09 This value is determined by the average distance 15 00:00:33.09 --> 00:00:35.06 of a seat to the window, 16 00:00:35.06 --> 00:00:37.07 and whether the seat is facing the window 17 00:00:37.07 --> 00:00:39.01 within a view cone. 18 00:00:39.01 --> 00:00:41.01 The best seat has a value of one, 19 00:00:41.01 --> 00:00:45.03 and the desks with no view, get scores of zero. 20 00:00:45.03 --> 00:00:48.00 All other seats that have a view to the outside, 21 00:00:48.00 --> 00:00:50.01 fall within this range. 22 00:00:50.01 --> 00:00:52.03 So we can see that there're a few seats 23 00:00:52.03 --> 00:00:54.08 with pretty poor results. 24 00:00:54.08 --> 00:00:56.00 By looking at the variables 25 00:00:56.00 --> 00:00:58.03 that we use to generate this result, 26 00:00:58.03 --> 00:01:01.02 which are a desk rotation of negative 45, 27 00:01:01.02 --> 00:01:03.08 and a spacing between rows of 11, 28 00:01:03.08 --> 00:01:07.07 we can get an idea of where to start for our next study. 29 00:01:07.07 --> 00:01:08.09 So with those in mind, 30 00:01:08.09 --> 00:01:13.00 let's go ahead and close down our outcomes window. 31 00:01:13.00 --> 00:01:14.07 And then we'll create another study 32 00:01:14.07 --> 00:01:18.05 by opening up the Create Study dialogue. 33 00:01:18.05 --> 00:01:21.00 And then, Workspace Layout. 34 00:01:21.00 --> 00:01:26.00 Let's call this, Desk Study_02. 35 00:01:26.00 --> 00:01:29.08 And for this, we're going to use the, Like This method. 36 00:01:29.08 --> 00:01:32.02 Then let's select our different inputs, 37 00:01:32.02 --> 00:01:36.01 which will be the room and the desk. 38 00:01:36.01 --> 00:01:37.05 And for the variables, 39 00:01:37.05 --> 00:01:38.09 let's make sure that they're set 40 00:01:38.09 --> 00:01:41.03 close to that individual solution 41 00:01:41.03 --> 00:01:44.01 that we saw in the outcomes window. 42 00:01:44.01 --> 00:01:49.08 So we want the desk rotation to be close to negative 45, 43 00:01:49.08 --> 00:01:53.08 and we want the spacing to be around 11. 44 00:01:53.08 --> 00:01:56.08 Then, so we get a lot of solutions to look through. 45 00:01:56.08 --> 00:02:00.05 Let's select the number of solutions to 50, 46 00:02:00.05 --> 00:02:03.06 and hit, Generate. 47 00:02:03.06 --> 00:02:06.00 Because we're generating so many solutions, 48 00:02:06.00 --> 00:02:08.02 this might take some time on your machine. 49 00:02:08.02 --> 00:02:11.01 So now would be a good time to make a coffee. 50 00:02:11.01 --> 00:02:12.00 Once it's finished, 51 00:02:12.00 --> 00:02:14.08 you can see that we've got lots of pages of results, 52 00:02:14.08 --> 00:02:17.05 that is we have 50 results. 53 00:02:17.05 --> 00:02:22.06 If we filter the results by number of desks to be 12, 54 00:02:22.06 --> 00:02:24.05 and then look at the list view, 55 00:02:24.05 --> 00:02:26.08 we can see that we get higher value 56 00:02:26.08 --> 00:02:31.03 for the views to the outside from one of the options. 57 00:02:31.03 --> 00:02:34.06 That is, 0.604. 58 00:02:34.06 --> 00:02:35.05 To achieve this, 59 00:02:35.05 --> 00:02:39.02 we've got a slightly different desk row rotation. 60 00:02:39.02 --> 00:02:41.03 Now that we have our better result, 61 00:02:41.03 --> 00:02:43.08 let's incorporate it into our project. 62 00:02:43.08 --> 00:02:46.01 To do that, we simply select the solution 63 00:02:46.01 --> 00:02:47.05 that we want to keep. 64 00:02:47.05 --> 00:02:49.09 In our case, it's this top one, 65 00:02:49.09 --> 00:02:51.04 and then down at the bottom right, 66 00:02:51.04 --> 00:02:54.07 we have this, Create Revit Elements button. 67 00:02:54.07 --> 00:02:58.00 This will create those desks in our project. 68 00:02:58.00 --> 00:03:00.02 So let's go ahead and select it. 69 00:03:00.02 --> 00:03:01.08 You'll see this popup that tells us 70 00:03:01.08 --> 00:03:04.06 it's currently creating the elements. 71 00:03:04.06 --> 00:03:08.01 Once that's finished, it'll say, element creation completed. 72 00:03:08.01 --> 00:03:11.04 And if we close our dialogue, 73 00:03:11.04 --> 00:03:12.09 we can see that those desks 74 00:03:12.09 --> 00:03:16.02 are now populated in our project. 75 00:03:16.02 --> 00:03:19.06 We've now created and implemented our first study 76 00:03:19.06 --> 00:03:21.03 in a Revit project. 77 00:03:21.03 --> 00:03:22.03 If we needed to, 78 00:03:22.03 --> 00:03:25.04 we could always go back to our study outcomes window 79 00:03:25.04 --> 00:03:31.00 by selecting the, Explore Outcomes button at the top. 80 00:03:31.00 --> 00:03:33.08 We could then select one of our studies, 81 00:03:33.08 --> 00:03:37.06 and incorporate a different result if we wanted to. 82 00:03:37.06 --> 00:03:39.00 Generative design in Revit 83 00:03:39.00 --> 00:03:41.04 offers a huge amount of flexibility 84 00:03:41.04 --> 00:03:44.05 in how we create, refine, and implement studies. 85 00:03:44.05 --> 00:03:45.07 And so far, we have learned 86 00:03:45.07 --> 00:03:47.08 how to make use of this in Revit. 87 00:03:47.08 --> 00:03:51.01 But what about if we wanted to add in a new study type? 88 00:03:51.01 --> 00:03:52.08 That's where Dynamo comes in. 89 00:03:52.08 --> 00:03:55.06 And so next, we'll take a look at what it takes 90 00:03:55.06 --> 00:03:58.06 to implement a new study type in Dynamo, 91 00:03:58.06 --> 00:04:00.09 which can be used in our Revit projects. 7084
