AftabRad Revit Add-in -> Import To Revit: Create Temporal Map

This analysis shows a temporal map that represents illuminance value or DGPs (Daylight Glare Probability - Simplified) in time for a selected calculation point or a group of calculation points that belonged to a room/space.

Since it is a time-based analysis, as a prerequisite it needs to already have finished a dynamic metric calculation by Daysim. Therefore, it needs a yearly hourly calculation ill file to be able to create a temporal map out of it.

Therefore, to create such an analysis map we should do the following steps.

1- Press ImportToRevit button in the AftabRad Add-in

2- In the Data2Revit page, press the Open Dat File button to open an ill file.

The ill file usually is saved in the res folder under the where the Daysim hea file is saved.

3- Then as soon as opening the ill file, the ill2dat part of the page becomes enabled.

4- The next Is to activate the Create Temporal Map checkbox and press the Import button.

5- By pressing the Import button in the Data2Revit page, the Temporal Creation Form page will be opened.

Here in the below, you can find the description of different buttons, labels, textboxes, comboboxes, etc. in the Temporal Creation Form page.

6- After selecting a single sensor value, or Average/minimum/Maximum of all the sensors value in the selected room, and defining the Temporal Analysis Type, and choosing the right unit for the Point file, by pressing the Create button the Temporal Map (Average/Minimum/Maximum based) Page will be opened.

7- By adjusting all the parameters that are available in the Temporal Map (Average/Minimum/Maximum based) Page, and pressing the >>Continue>> button, the final Temporal Map for the selected analysis type will be created.

Here in the below, there are two examples for the Illuminance or Underlit, Well lit, Potentially overlit options.
