2D Power BI Visual

Importing the Visual to Power BI

This tutorial covers how to import the Tracer visuals (*.PBIVIZ file) into a Microsoft Power BI report. This example shows the 3D visual, but the same process is used to import the 2D visual. Use the same workflow to replace the trial visuals with the “Demo” watermark with the licensed version.

Conditional Formatting

Tracer V3 introduces updates to the 2D visual for displaying GeoJSON data records exported from Revit for use in Power BI. In addition to new formatting options, the 2D visual introduces the ability to use Conditional Formatting to control object colors and heatmaps

Context Feature

The visual offers the option to classify elements as Context so they can act as “background” geometry with different display settings from the rest of the model elements.

Visualizing Revit Rooms with Power BI Visual

Use the Tracer Power BI visual to create an interactive visual that displays a Revit document’s room boundaries with data.

  • Set up a Power BI data source to the the RoomElement view.
  • Import the Tracer Power BI visual.
  • Configure the Power BI visual to display Revit room boundaries contained in the SQLite file.
