About Analysis Display Styles

Use analysis display styles to visualize the results of an analysis generated by an add-in application.

Analysis display styles are permanently stored in Revit for use in project views. Within a view, you can select a different style and immediately apply it in the analysis result.

Note: Analysis results can only be created and displayed in the project environment. They are not available in the Family Editor.

You can use the same following styles to display different results in different project views.

Colored surface

Displays analysis results as a colored surface.

Markers with text

Displays a colored graphical shape at each data point. Each point has configurable corresponding numbers representing the analysis results.

Diagrams with text

Displays a colored diagram generated from analysis data points. The diagram can contain fence lines drawn from the curve to the diagram boundary. Each point has configurable corresponding numbers representing the analysis results.

Vectors with text

Displays colored vector arrows generated from analysis data points. The vector lines can be drawn to, from, and around data point axes. Each point has configurable corresponding numbers representing the analysis results.

Deformed shape

Displays the deformation of the analytical model. Deformation is described by a displacement vector at user-selected points on analytical surfaces and curves.

 
Note: When using Colored surface and Markers with text, analysis results are not visible in views that use the Wireframe visual style.
