RRadout 0.2 - Export Geometry from Autodesk Revit to Radiance

RRadout is a Python module for Autodesk Revit, exporting geometry data to the Radiance lighting simulation package.

Warning: This is beta software! (Release 0.2 has advanced from "Proof of Concept" to "Prototype" status.)
There are many (metaphorical) rough edges, and lots of features missing that would be expected in a translator ready for production. It has been tested on the sample files supplied with Revit, but not on any other files. Development and tests were done on Revit 2014, but it should work on newer (and possibly older) releases as well.

Performance should be sufficient for most models, despite being implemented in a bytecode-interpreted language. Most of the heavy lifting (eg. transforms) is done within Revit in C++ via the API.

Features

RRadout 0.2 has the following capabilities:

To Do

Structural tasks Content handling

Issues to Solve

I don't have access to a Revit installation anymore for the time beeing.
Further development of RRadout will therefore depend on contributions from others.
If you think you can solve any of the issues mentioned here, or add one of the missing features above, please don't hesitate!

Installation

Download RRadout 0.2

To install as a macro, select the "Manage" tab, click on "Macros". Select the "Application" tab in the opening dialog, and press "Create Module". Give your new module a suitable name, chose "Python" as a language and press "Ok". The SharpDevelop IDE should open with a new project containing boilerplate code. Replace that with the contents of my file and press F8 to compile.

Now open the "Macros" dialog again, and your module will have sprouted three macros:

Select one of those and press "Run" (this only works if the current view is a 3D-view).

Configuration

Currently all relevant configuration happens in the code, near the top of the file. Configuration options are:
