Jerry:

I could not get Vasari to install on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine.

Is it for 32 bit machines only?

Thank you,

Jerry,

Are you trying to use gbXML exporting in Vasari to be read by eQuest? I have
made a simplistic model and wish to check it in eQuest. This is truly
exciting since 100% of our work is done in REVIT. As a background I use
REVIT, Ecotect and eQuest and have not found a seamless way to integrate
yet.

Thanks,

Hi Peter - we do indeed use gbXML in the background to run the DOE2.2 simulation on our Cloud. In Vasari, after selecting 'Results & Compare' in the Ribbon and after you have previously selected 'Analyzed Mass Model', you can select Export from the 'Results & Compare' dialog to choose formats such as: .pdf, .xml (gbXML), .inp (eQuest/DOE2.2), and .idf (EnergyPlus).

Keep in touch and thank you for using Vasari,
