not as a family. Yes, each one has to be individually created and can be
very pain staking. When you export it you shall see it within the obstruction
file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it is internal to the room, create the shading devices as normal (using walls).
Then move them a certain distance external to the building. Export the file.
Open up the obstruction file and relocate all the shading devices to their
desired location. hey presto, internal shading devices.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

into gbXML?<BR></FONT><BR></P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR clear=all>Hello,<BR> <BR>I am working on daylight analysis (IES
and ECOTECT) for a mid-rise residential. The architectural design has a special
shading for windows, which we had to create as a custom Revit family. I am
trying to export this family to gbXML to work in IESve; but the shading doesn't
go through gbXML. Does anyone have expereince on this issue? How should we
create the family so that it easily get exported to gbXML? <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Can we add a "Room Bounding" parameter to a Revit family from Family
Editor?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks,<BR>-- <BR>Amir E. Kavousian</DIV>
