Explore Outcomes of a Generative Design Study

After Generative Design in Revit has finished creating a study, explore the outcomes to find the solution that best meets your needs.

The generative design process is iterative. You may want to create multiple studies using different methods and criteria to find the best solution to your design challenge.

	To explore outcomes
	1. Open the Explore Outcomes dialog. When you create a study, the dialog opens and shows the status of the study in the left pane. When it's complete, a green check mark displays next to the study title. If you want to explore outcomes of studies that you created earlier, on the Revit ribbon, click Manage tabGenerative Design panel Explore Outcomes. To explore outcomes from Dynamo for Revit, click Generative DesignExplore Outcomes.
	2. In the left pane, select the study to explore. Tip: Use the Filter List by Study Type option to show studies of the desired type. To export outcomes or delete the study, hover your cursor over a study and select the Options menu.
	3. To see details for an outcome, click its thumbnail. The middle pane shows thumbnails for the outcomes. Use the Sort By filters and the Ascending/Descending toggle to organize the outcomes. The right pane shows the constants, variables, and outputs associated with the selected outcome. If the right pane doesn't display, click the Details option in the upper right part of the window.
	4. To see charts that help you compare the outcomes, do the following: Click the Charts option in the upper right part of the window. Use the options to change the chart display or to filter outcomes. For example, you can do the following: Click an icon to display a scatterplot or a parallel coordinates chart. In a scatterplot, click a point to see the corresponding outcome. Drag along an axis to filter the outcomes by that value range. To clear applied filters, click Clear Filters.

Determine next steps:

• Explore more outcomes of the study. Examine their details.
• Export outcomes to manipulate the data and create different types of visualizations. Share the exported outcomes with others.
• Create a new study using different criteria: Click Create Study in the lower left part of the window.
• Integrate a selected outcome into your Revit model.
