gbxmlMerge

Merge 'Geometry' in gbXML File A with 'Openings' in gbXML File B to 'Geometry with Openings' in gbXML File C.

Purpose: This python script is meant to process full Revit gbXML input files in XML format:

  1. A Geometry gbXML based on Mass families without windows,
  2. An Openings gbXML based on Spaces from detailed elements with windows.

Inputs:

  1. Revit gbXML files in XML format. File locations are chosen via a typical directory GUI.
  2. Output file name and destination location via a typical directory GUI.

Outputs:

  1. Composite gbXML made up of Geometry from gbXML based on Mass families and Openings from gbXML based on Spaces.

Notes:

  1. Depends on xgbxml (https://pypi.org/project/xgbxml/) developed by Dr. Steven Firth of Loughborough University.
  2. Depends on topologicpy (https://test.pypi.org/project/topologicpy/) developed by Dr. Wassim Jabi of Cardiff University.
  3. xgbxml: handling of gbxml elements like Surfaces and Openings.
  4. topologicpy: determination of destination Surfaces of Openings with an adjustable Distance Tolerance.

Functional Development & Test: Windows 10 / Anaconda / Spyder IDE / Python 3.8 / xgbxml 0.0.8 topologicpy 0.1.5
