Revit Daylighting


A new plug-in was recently introduced to Revit users called, Revit 2014 Daylighting Analysis plug-in (RDA), which uses

the Autodesk 360 Rendering cloud service to provide users with a very fast and physically accurate daylighting analysis from within Revit. 

Designed with users in mind, this easy-to-use tool allows Revit users to now specify the location they wish to analyze, regardless if it's a floor (single or multiple) or an entire building and can produce LEED IEQc8.1 2009 results for submittal. The RDA plug-in generates illuminance results from Autodesk 360 that are comparable to Radiance.

Since results are generated on your Revit model, users can see exactly how the daylighting is interacting with their Revit model even as they orbit or change views.  All results will appear in real-time.

Note: The RDA plug-in will only run on Revit 2014 UR2.
