Revit Analysis Display

[fraguada]

We've had a request to support passing analysis data back into Revit from tools like Ladybug. Can we take a look at supporting Analysis Display?

We did a version of this ... a long time ago.... manually, I think we even make a format to get the data from Diva or Ladybug. https://github.com/HOKGroup/HOK-Revit-Addins/tree/master/AVF%20Manager I doubt there is much here that is useful from a code perspective. Maybe a pattern or two.

Does this help with this issue: https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/export-geometry-mesh-from-rhino-to-revit-through-rhino-inside-revit/86477/5

@scotttd Not necessarily. @kike-garbo enabled the previewing of meshes with vertex colors in Revit, but the Analysis Display in Revit actually adds the data to the object, if I understand that correctly. So what we have currently is a useful addition, but it is probably not the best performing, not the most idiomatic manner to store this data with the Revit model (as I understand it).
