Hello.

I have a model in Revit of curtainwall. One of my PM's wants to automatically color the model by certain criteria, such as: installation methods, weight, fabrication timing, etc. These curtainwalls will need to be recolored as criteria changes. My goal is to make this easy for him to accomplish, easily changeable, lightweight enough for a laptop, and can be exported in 3D easily for other non-technical team members to view.

He would also like to get quantities of each curtainwall unit as the changing criteria applies to it. I'm thinking he can do this best by a spreadsheet in Excel based on some parameters I add to the units in Revit.

He does not know Revit.

What Autodesk program (or other software) be the best option for him to accomplish this? It does not need to be animated necessarily. I'm thinking he could use an Excel to manipulate.

Ideas??

Thank you.

Dynamo would seem like a good place to start.
Just a thought.
Excel wouldn't be bad as long as you have a good method to get it back into some kind of a schedule where you can apply the instance based material.
