gbXML: Validation against SAM Revit Model Template #1
Description
@StephenRoth2014
I am currently developing our own opensource gbXML_Toolkit and I will be interested to test Revit SAM model sample against latest level 3 schema validation. It is a small project but contains a multitude of design complexity such as: exposed floors; ground walls with profiles; rooflights; glass roofs; double height spaces in conjunction with air-walls and air-floors; sharp angles; and many more.
We are fine with geometry but struggling with Constructions, WindowType. I would be keen to help getting validated with Level 3 schema. Current gbXML validator does not work well and does not comply with its own sample.
For example Whole Building Test 1.xml
ERROR: The required attribute 'surfaceType' is missing. Line Position 8 Line Number: 12233
and this line is
<Transmittance unit="Fraction" type="Visible">0.898</Transmittance>
I have same error in our case so want to make sure we produce solid and well attributed gbXML.
At the same time we working with @theo-armour on next edition of LadybugTools Spider and we want t o use the same example and validate any gbXML against latest schema and help users to get high quality models and fill data for them. So full understand is crucial.
Happy to help and join forces to make high quality gbXML variable. Our end goal is to have fully atributed gbXML that can run on any simulation tool directly via import or using data from gbXML and pushing via software API.
