Identifying what data to track in Revit
In this section, we are going to explore both the criteria and a list of data categories we will be targeting later inside our Dynamo script. Before we create our dashboards, we need to identify what data to gather and, more importantly, why we need to gather it. To help us identify what to track, the data needs to fulfill certain criteria.
Criteria
Before building the Revit model check dashboard, we first need to identify what data to track, and what data will later be visualized. "There are five important criteria to think about when deciding what to track" (Kunkel, J. (2019). Revit Dashboards the Cheap and Easy Way, Autodesk University):
- Quantifiable: The data is countable.
- Trackable: The data is within the Revit model.
- Changes over time: The data is changeable over the different project phases.
- Impact on model performance: The data affects the model's integrity or "health." This criterion...
