Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0026] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0027] The system and method for quickly counting component surface areas based on Dynamo and Revit of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] See also Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, a system for quickly counting component surface areas based on Dynamo and Revit includes:

[0029] Revit software for three-dimensional modeling enables the constructed three-dimensional model to include multiple elements, each element corresponding to a basic geometric shape;

[0030] A Dynamo plug-in that can be run in Revit software. The Dynamo plug-in includes:

[0031] A selection module for selecting primitives in the three-dimensional model;

[0032] An extraction module for obtaining the basic geometric shape of the selected primitive, the extraction module being connected to the selection module;

[0033] A calculation module for calculating the area based on the basic geometric shape, the calculation module comprising a plurality of calculation units capable of respectively calculating the areas of different basic geometric shapes, the calculation module being connected to the extraction module;

[0034] A terminal module for importing calculated data into an Excel spreadsheet, the terminal module being connected to the extraction module.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the graphic element includes two base plates 1, an arc-shaped plate 2 connected between the two base plates 1, a plurality of first tree-like columns 3 connected at intervals on the outside of the base plates 1, a rectangular frame 5 surrounding the periphery of the plurality of first tree-like columns 3, and a plurality of second tree-like columns 4 connected at intervals on the inside of the base plates 1.

[0036] The calculation accuracy is improved by dividing the 3D modeling into multiple primitives and calculating the surface area one by one.

[0037] Specifically, the calculation unit is a calculation algorithm.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown: Select Model Elements is the selection module, Element.Geometry is the extraction module, Solid.Area is the calculation module, and Data.ExportExcel is the terminal module.

[0039] Specifically, the Dynamo plug-in further includes a determination module for determining whether a primitive is selected, and the determination module is connected to the terminal module.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown: the Boolean is the judgment module.

[0041] When the graphics element is selected using the selection module, the judgment module automatically judges as "yes", and the data can be exported to an Excel table after the judgment. If the graphics element is not selected, the judgment module automatically judges as "no" to prevent the data from being exported to the Excel table. By setting the judgment module, the calculation of components other than the graphics element to be counted can be avoided.

[0042] Preferably, the Dynamo plug-in further includes a conversion module for unit conversion, and the conversion module is connected between the calculation module and the terminal module.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown: the conversion module is actually a division algorithm, and the conversion module includes a dividend unit and a divisor unit. The calculation unit is connected to the dividend unit, and the divisor unit can input data by itself.

[0044] The unit of the data obtained by the calculation module is millimeter. By inputting "1000000" into the divisor unit, the unit is converted into square meters for the convenience of statistics.

[0045] Preferably, the terminal module comprises:

[0046] Path cell used to import a blank Excel table;

[0047] Used to control the arrangement cells of the plurality of calculation data to be imported sequentially from row 0 and column 0 of the blank Excel table;

[0048] An importing unit for importing the calculation data, wherein the importing unit is connected to the conversion module.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown: file path is the path unit, starRow and starCol are the arrangement units, and data is the import unit.

[0050] Specifically, a blank Excel table is created in advance, its location is found through the path unit and imported into the terminal module.

[0051] The starRow is the starting row, and the starCol is the starting column. By inputting the instruction "0" into the starRow and the starCol respectively, the multiple calculation data are controlled to be imported starting from the 0th row and the 0th column of the blank Excel table.

[0052] Specifically, the terminal module also includes a renaming unit for renaming the worksheet of the blank Excel table.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the renamed cell is sheetName.

[0054] Specifically, the terminal module also includes a writing unit, which is connected to the determination module. When the determination module determines as "yes", the writing unit agrees to import the data into the Excel table. When the determination module determines as "no", the writing unit refuses to import the data into the Excel table.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the write unit is overWrite.

[0056] A method for quickly counting component surface areas based on Dynamo and Revit, comprising the following steps:

[0057] Step 1: Provide the above-mentioned system for quickly counting component surface areas based on Dynamo and Revit;

[0058] Step 2: Use Revit software to perform 3D modeling on the statistical components;

[0059] Step 3: Run the Dynamo plug-in to automatically export the areas of all elements of the constructed 3D model to an Excel spreadsheet.
