Yes, you will need Green Building Studio (GBS) for translating gbXML to eQuest's .inp. If it's possible, eliminate the surfaces or objects from your Revit model, those that you think will have very little to no effect on building performance. Of course, that will also depend on what stage of the project you are. Extra detail will cramp simulation, or will not be translated by GBS. For example, GBS will not let you translate >1024 building shades (that'a a DOE-2 limitation, and GBS uses DOE-2 engine). Once the translation seems to have been done, make sure you look at the VRML view in the GBS window. It is not necessary that everything you see in this view will get to eQuest via the .inp, but this way you would at least know where the information leaks.</span><br>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hi
all,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p>Can we export the Revit data using GBXML to EQuest?
What info moves between Revit and Equest? Please Any help would be appreciated.</p>
